    Yes, that’s why sanctions have been in place since the 1970s, when the oil industry in Venezuela was nationalized, and not since 2014, when the Maduro regime began cracking down on protests, and why all of the EU and most South American countries have abstained from sanctioning Venezuela.

    Right?

    … right…?

    Oh, wait, of course, no amount of actual facts will stop your kind from kneeling down and licking authoritarian boots when they torture dissidents and disdain democracy, as long as they say “America Bad!” first!

        Sorry that you don’t understand what the word ‘sanctions’ means. Perhaps a trip back to middle school could help you.

          A coup is even more active opposition than sanctions, genius. It isn’t about their elections, it’s about their oil.
