While I can't fault them for wanting to make a better life for themselves and their families, I do fault the Venezuelan people for falling for the crap that got them into this mess in the first place. The world has had about 100 years of lessons why socialism doesn't and can not work. In a way its only human, people gravitate towards something, an idea, or whatever it is, if that idea/path sounds and more importantly feels appealing. I'm going to get free stuff, cool. Someone wants to offer a wage increase, sign me up. People rarely think about the consequences until its too late. Think pleasure island from Pinocchio. We are similar in this country every 4 years, just not as bad,,,,,,,,,,, yet.
The consequences of their voting has now come home to roost. I have no doubt that the extreme majority of people down there fully regrets the mistake they made. Unfortunately they are without any way to rectify it, they allowed themselves to become disarmed for the children and "muh feels" and now at the mercy of their elite rich rulers. But good news for them, since our last administration was gun running to drug cartels in Mexico a precedent was set, we should do the same for Venezuela. Air lift food and arms to the people and let them take their country back. Once fuck face and everyone associated with him are dead we could help rebuild the infrastructure and government, hopefully getting them back on their feet and their backs to utopian socialism. Even better if we gain an ally in South America its a win win for both countries.
