If they'd doubled the price of oil, the Venezuelan people would be suffering just as much
It doesn't matter what the price of oil is on the open market. If your government is committed to destroying the open market, the only outcomes are hunger or death. From Russia to Cambodia, it happens every single bloody time. |

Hard to say. It's now 85 years since 7 to 10 million Ukrainians starved to death in one year under Russian communism, and they've still got Russian troops shelling them every day.

Caracas Chronicles has an interesting article on Caracas airport. It used to have 24 international airlines flying in, now it's just 8. And it's not because a couple of subway sandwiches effectively cost you £70 at the airport because you've got to buy a certain amount of currency at the fixed rate. It's because of the fear of crime. Even Delta ( iirc ) has rearranged its schedules so that crews and planes stay overnight in Aruba on the Houston-Caracas route as they've got to protect their staff from the risk of mugging.
Just let the currency float and get some honest cops and the tourists, gawpers and fanatics will start to come back. |

Nothing at all to do with politics, it's the banks dictating again...next comes Cuba followed by Iran and North Korea and then petrol goes back to 1.40+ a gallon.....

Lfc, do you not realise what's going on? It owes the matter which way you vote, it matters what you believe...reading your way of thinking, Pinochet was an angel.
It's about oil, control and the economy..that's all..political belief is ireelevant |

forget the oil, there are hundreds of countries without any oil , oil does not bring a happy and peaceful and country.
Until these countries understand this there will never be progress. |

Oil can be as big a curse as a blessing. The most successful countries can be those with the least natural resources.

They have just hauled the mayor of Caracas out of his home dressed in his pajamas , his daughter screaming for help as the old man is taken away by government thugs.
Now that is not politics , or oil, or the banks . |

There must be some brainwashing clinic somewhere that processes lefties to make them so .. challenged?
Newsnight just had some corbynite shadow minister for .. stupidity on, they ask him about Corbyn and whether he should condemn Venezuela, this corrupt hard left vote r1gg1ng extremist regime oppressing and bankrupting his people, so of course he just blanks it and starts the same old marxist style rant about the US. And yet there are millions who would vote for the likes of this fool and his shocker of a leader? |

Given he's a Corbynista and with the anti-semitism of the sick cases in the paranoid hard left, I'm only surprised he didn't also blame Israel...

(CNN) Nicolás Maduro Guerra, the son of the Venezuelan President, is threatening to seize the White House with rifles if President Donald Trump sends the US military to his nation.
The White House has condemned President Nicolás Maduro's regime for human rights abuses. More than 120 people have died in anti-government protests since April. Last week, Trump said he would not rule out the possibility of a military intervention in Venezuela. "Venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering, and they are dying. We have many options for Venezuela, including a possible military option if necessary," Trump told reporters at his New Jersey golf club. President Maduro's son responded to Trump on Saturday, but appeared confused on the location of the White House. "If the unlikely event of defiling the homeland came to pass, the rifles would arrive in New York, " he told Venezuelan state media. "Mr. Trump, we would arrive and take the White House." |

Corbyn's model country Venezuela defaults on its debts.
How can this conceivably happen in such an oil rich country? Let me guess. They weren't quite operating the right type of Socialism. |
