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

31. Humanitarian aid is now politicized? Better starve than to have it come from El Imperio?

Do you think food and medicine for a nation of 29 million just gets pulled out of someones ass?

There are VERY FEW nations who can pull off a large scale humanitarian exercise. Russia and China don't give a shit. They just want to be a pain in the ass to Uncle Sam, and their loans repaid. The EU? They can't decide how outraged they want to be.

Do you believe that Venezuelans are suffering? (Either you believe it, or you don't). If you don't believe that they are suffering, then you join the Chavista regime in that denial.

Maduro refuses aid from the United States (¡El Imperio! ¡Capitalistas!), because he denies any humanitarian crisis exists. Yet 16 days later, will accept humanitarian aid from Russia or China (neither offering aid) for a humanitarian crisis that he says doesn't exist?

WTF???

So there are your choices.

1. Let them die. There is no crisis. (The Maduro Plan)

2. Assist them with food and drugs. (even if it means the the US flag appears on an aid box)

This "military adventurism" angle is a red herring used by the fringe left to justify Chavismo as legitimate governance.
