Venezuela was dependent on $100 oil.

It is a dictatorship, not a socialist country.

(37,852 posts)3. I won't defend Maduro.
Hes a thug and criminal.
But Venezuela is a big gas station, like Russia. With a very high break even price on its heavy crude.
Our collusion with the KSA to punish Russia also crippled the Venezuelan economy.
As far as the United States, the Trumpists are driving it toward breakup.
