Pence announces new sanctions in effort to unseat Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro

15. When you know the facts, and you know about the suffering of the Venezuelan people

then you align with whomever can help them. You also seem to miss the point that this is not a USA enterprise, it is a coalition.

Many here do not seem to understand the implications of allowing Cuba to continue to rule Venezuela, they are the ones pulling the strings there, and are trying to align with Putin.

It is a bit disappointing that at DU we all become frustrated at MAGA people because they don't listen, they don't try to find the facts, all their answers are based on ideology and ignorance, and in this topic of Venezuela the same thing seems to be happening here.

Don't believe what I write, do your own research then determine, from facts, what you think is right, but blind ideology doesn't work.

If the right-wingers are the only ones who understand the implication of loosing Venezuela to Putin, then this is a moment when they are on the right side of history, anyone debating this issue without facts is jumping to conclusions because of ideology, and that is a shame. Democrats are supposed to be more open minded, more liberal, we refuse to fall for fake information, to the anger of many, because of our open mindedness, many democrats become frustrated due to people learning the facts and acting on it, but that is not what I am seeing here.

I am ok to be proven wrong, but this is a topic that I know very well, I know people in Venezuela, I talk to them on a daily basis, and the people I know come from all facets of society. There is hunger, no medicines, there is massive government corruption, people are dying, people are being tortured, mostly young people who have dared to protest, and you are more worried that someone at this moment agrees with some republicans?

Yes, Elliot Abrams worries me, but not the rest, if they help England, Colombia and Brazil help Venezuela, I am ok with that.
