Senators Menendez and Rubio introduced a bipartisan bill to the Senate to intensify US and international pressure on the government of Venezuela. Mark Weisbrot says this is largely possible because members of Congress are unaware of the suffering the sanctions are causing in Venezuela

it's sad to see dems and repubs as cucks to corrupt global capitalist power- truly sad!
United states of sanctions, how about that?
Bob Menendez is a Republican disguise as Democrat, what a disgrace.
Thank you PRESIDENT Trump for your support. Thank you Senator Menendez and thank you Senator Rubio. Let's get all those comunist narc traffickers out of Venezuela. GET THE CASTRO REGIME OUT OF VENEZUELA and bring them to their knees. NO TURN AROUND, MADURO IS A DONE DEAL. Then let the humanitarian aide in from Colombia . International Red Cross is in: A total disaster. Not working. People are not getting the help. Why? Because of Maduro. Most sanctions have been directed to individuals. Yes, no oil must leave to Cuba or to countries that support Maduro. Military Intervention will occur if NECESSARY. Highly unlikely. Again all in the hands of Maduro. He does one stupid thing, and yes US will intervene. Trust me by stupid it mean something very big. You can all figure it out, you read the news, don't you? PROBABLY NOT, AS NOT TO MANY OF YOU SPEAK SPANISH.
IRANIAN EXTRACTING URANIUM FROM VENEZUELA. HEZBOLLAH JUST MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT IT WILL SUPPORT MADURO.
WE, THE VENEZUELANS WANT MADURO OUT. WE WANT THE CASTRO REGIME OUT OF VENEZUELA. WE WANT THE RUSSIANS, THE CHINESE, THE IRANIANS OUT.
WE WANT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND FREEDOM. NO MORE COMMUNISM. MADURO, YOU ARE A DONE DEAL, ITS A MATTER OF TIME. AND YES, AND IF NECESSARY, WE INVITE TAMAHAK MISSLES TO DESTROY MADURO'S ASSEST.
The devil in white meat
liars, bastards war criminals, that's what they are, because that's not the situation in Venezuela, the santions are killing people there, but most is the ignorant people of this country's fault, because they don't even know what sanstions are, that's how bad is the ignorance on the people, some they don't even know those war criminals, like john bolton , elliot abrams, pompeo, and now that bastard of Marco rubio, doing all this stupid things aganst the people of Cuba and Venezuela, fucking traitor, but that's how bad the corruption is in the U>S. they just care about the oil, that's all they crae, they don't even give a damn about the people of this country, and that's why the fall of this empire is pretty close, because of the stupidity of the people, they don't even know they own history, they are so dumb that almost they can find the U.S in a map. anyway that's our sad reality.
Menendez & Rubio have committed treason against the American people & both need to be arrested !
Dear Real News:
Thanks for your wonderful news shows.
Please, please, please ~ give us the exact House and Senate Bills and/or Resolutions discussed in any given newscast so that your listeners can refer to them when we communicate with our Congressional members. Please, each and every time you mention a bill that we, your listeners, can respond to!!
Thank you.
Totally agree with Calhoun. M Rubio is a coward as he refuses to condemn Trump’s attack on Hispanics at the Mexican border. Rubio is a Hispanic.
It doesn't matter who you vote for IF THEY DO NOT LIKE IT You have to revote again and again until they like it or they will  make you look bad and sanction you
Time to get rid of the Koch Brothers!
This is proof that the United States of America is a criminally insane sociopathic organization.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen , remember the banana wars? this shit been going on since after ww2, and who benefits??
not the working people of the United States, they almost did this to Syria, thank god Russia Hezbollah, Iran, saved Syria,
i hope they can save Venezuela, they will, most of the people in the United States dont believe this bullshit anymore,
thats why quida is looked at as a clown, even elliot abrams is looked as a criminal, everyone around the world knows these people
support terrorist and only seek to overthrow nations for oil and corporations, these are war crimes, and its ending,
Who remembers this exchange from October 1974 ?
Henry A Kissinger: "I support Nelson Rockefeller's nomination"
However, Rockefeller was accused of trying to block the unionization of public employees in NY and of showing little concern for working men and women.
Miss Mikuiski criticized Rockefeller's pledge to put his vast personal fortune in a blind trust with, "You can't put Venezuela in a blind trust."
The Rockefeller family is known to have large land holding in Venezuela.
Trump is funding terrorism in Venezuela to steal oil from the Venezuelan workers like they already stole the oil from U.S. workers. This is the world capitalism creates.
I also think it's no coincidence that barring Venezuela's oil from the US has caused US & global oil prices to increase- another plus for the Kochacracy.
After Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba are next for "freedom and democracy".
What do you mean they don;t know what they are dong???? Why are they in politics and in the Congress and are morons and don't know what the Bill are about ??
There are no excuses for Congress or Senate to back another regime change war in Venezuela. Ignorance is not acceptable, listen and learn! We the people know, why don't you? Too busy to study bills before you vote on them, if so you are incompetent and should resign. Or suffer at the election.
The pigs are still at it; like always; lies lies and more lies.
What does this prove ?  it proves that Evil never sleeps, these guys are relentless, who votes for these nut jobs?
All this guys were united to protect the people of Libya , Iraqi , Bosnia and now Venezuela, they just do not unite or protect the Americans who have no medical care, no jobs, no fresh water, unemployed , terrible school system and the list goes on, in the US . All of this about caring for Venezuelans are nothing but a lie to control the national resources.
Why do we elect idiots and fascists?
smh
And Democrats are different from Republicans HOW, exactly? They, and their GOP cohorts, are the "dictators, clinging to power amidst the ruins of a failed state" – a state that still, as it collapses into itself, demands the world do what it says, regardless of how many lives are in the balance. After all, the Democrat Madeline Albright thought the deaths of a half-million children were "worth it" to achieve our goals for another sovereign nation.
This bipartisan agreement on the one hand to increase sanctions and then dangling $400M in aid (which either comes from American taxpayers or the frozen assets of Venezuela) is the very definition of weaponising aid.
thats right, make up the rules as you go. we kick people out of the game if they cheat like this.
400 Mil $ as „aid“ for Venezuela. AND NEIGHBORING COUNTRYS. ….. means that 400 Mill. $ goes into Colombia and Brazil.
Ever notice the names of these bills are grossly innacurate? Relief act? This is crushing the Venezuelan poor people.
shame on the „Demokrats“ shame on Northamerica.
The only thing Pompeo and Bolton want is Venezuela's oil and resources. Ask Bolton how Iran-Contra affair he was part of
help South America? Were the death squads he helped fund the anti-Sandinista rebel fighters a different term he used for foreign aid?
that's why the world must work closer with china and russia and move away from usa asap!
Behalf of who ?what a lie! These idiots never give up, Venezuelans just want to guide their own future leave them alone. Sanction America, they need a regime change , someone needs to bring democracy to America!
Do these guys govern or just look at whom they should sanctions next.
Desperate people.
Hopefully countries will become more self sufficient and less globally dependent. Cuba has good healthcare in spite of sanctions. China and Russia sent in supplies including medical.
There are people in America going without insulin and other medications.
The fascist government of the USA trying to overthrow an elected government in South America ,business as usual for the Fascist States of America. They have done this many times,going to war for corporations in-order to steal other peoples resources.This is what they did in Iran in the 50's it's why they invaded Iraq,remember Iran-Contra just more of the same immoral theft of resources from poor brown people.When you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.
Another disgraceful act from the US government , America is trying to destroy the world for their own selfish gain.
