Brookings just debunked this moron and his colleague on all this. I hate to break it to you folks but Venezuela was collapsing long before Trump imposed sanctions in August 2017. I'm sure sanctions further harmed some Venezuelans, but the damage was done mostly by Maduro and his cronies.
I would argue the same for Ukraine. Putin may have invaded Ukraine, but it's own elite had already severaly damaged the country. They ruined that country beyond repair to the point that the public decided to elect a comedian.
US intervention in Venezuela will have devastating consequences for Venezuelans. Worse than they are now. Just take the somewhat recent examples from Iraq, Libya and Syria to name a few. Remove sanctions and encourage dialog for an internal resolution. Mexico and Uruguay are leading the charge on this. The world and UN should get behind it.
In the 1960 & 1970's in India summers were mostly pegged at Max 32 C to 34 C degrees. Today it goes to 40 C and as far as 42 C. No Climate change there.
US government is preventing world peace. They also keep the world on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels keeps the most elite financially wealthy in power and in control. This world is ran by a very tiny percentage and the majority suffer and get their backs stepped on because of it.
It is probably time for a world revolution and the objective should be to abolish the rich and their financial structure.
Not Adam Smith, Adam Schiff Real News Network??? Tucker Carlson should never be quoted by Real News Network, Your News is far removed from fact. Tucker Carlson is a Trump butt kisser, no friend to la gente de Venenzuela
'Brutal Dictator!' Like Bin Salman in Saudi Arabia – who just beheaded 37 people (including a kid for protesting) and hacked up an expat journalist in a Turkish consulate. But they're our 'allies'.. I guess bc they manipulate oil prices for US geopolitical advantage.
Thumbs down for a stupid title…
Twenty (or so) years ago we read his gore about Africa in the New York Times and for what, is Kristof a monster hiding in plain sight?
So, taking into account that the un's temperature increase over the last century is between 0,3 and 0,8 degrees celsius with a calculated miscalculation of 0,5 degrees…there will be no impact from the Venezuela sanctions, right?
God bless those trying to get our country back on track, even if it's playing a bit dirty (¡Maduro coño e tu madre!)
Don't call your self real News when climate has been changing forever and was way worst before humans. Real ignorance or history. Is what I will now call you.
Mark Weisbrot doesn't even have to respond here. His critics are just spouting government propaganda.
Trump dogs need to go
the grand solar minimum is coming, ww3 is a mercy killing
Why are there sanctions in the first place?
Who the fuck disliked this video???

ricardo hausmann is a greedy antichrist mf should jailed
No matter where you are from its obvious. The "richest country in the world " won't help struggling countries (if socialist). Only harm until they turn over all resources to corporations.
Nicholas Kristof has also written several columns praising sweatshops and disparaging labor rights groups as naive.
No, because this denial is blind to political party affiliation
