  1. At the only power is from the people STANDING with their elected leader whatever the circumstances in more millions than those opposing him and on earth everything passes and these days does so quickly.
    The country men and women of Venezuela will definitely overcome all suffering for the future of their motherland and for their generations to come and this historic time will be written 100 years to come.
    Maduro should position himself well and learn from other Nations trying to help his government how they have moved to success e.g if China is helping their electric grid, they should encourage them to teach them how to overcome. Russia ‘s economy grew last year despite sanctions; a good example to learn from.
    Problems are opportunities to learn and even know true friends though there’s no need for enemies anyway!.

  2. Who are we to say what is best for others? The crises are because of our illegal sanctions! This to get red of Zionist control of our government. Pompeo and the other war criminal in America need to be arrested for war crimes; this includes Trump.

  3. The USAs day of reckoning is coming.
    Russia, China, Germany, Italy and France are now putting every spare $ they have into Gold.
    No more propping up the US$.
    France and Japan also.
    Every other second nation that can is now also reducing there exposure to the $.
    Thats the first step but it can't be done overnight. In the meantime they keep saying "Yes Uncle Sam" wishing Uncle Sam would get run over by a Bus.
    It is happening slowly but surely.
    There will come a point of Equilibrium. Then they all will join together and push the USA over the edge. Not only that but once it happens they will all put the boot into Uncle Sam lying on the ground at the bottom of the cliff Injured.
    The only language the USA understands. Use USA tactics against the USA.
    Germany is the key in Europe and has now consistently for a few years been telling the USA to get stuffed. Nord Stream 2 is going ahead. Ignoring the USAs demand they spend more on there Military etc. Pence on his last visit to Europe was told clearly! No more sanctions on Russia. We will not support them. The hint also if anything we are going to drop those sanctions soon . Get stuffed with your Sanctions on Iran. We are going to resist them. We are not going to rip up the Nuke Deal with Iran. We are not going to label the Iranian National Guard as Terrorists. We don't agree with your Israeli policy.
    The USA like the fools they are keep ramping it up. What does the USA want. A repeat of Custers Last stand. While there are some in the USA that are seeing the light there are still too many that don't. US Culture.
    Reminds me of an ex Australian Captain who worked with the USA/Australian Liaison team in WW2.
    When we asked him about US Soldiers he said. "I still don't know if they were brave or stupid! "
    "All McArthur had to do was tell them to do something and they did it even if it achieved nothing. That idiot McArthur did that many times simply to make the Headlines in the USA. Was he a General or aspiring Politician.
    Australian Officers and Men would have told him to get stuffed. Stop playing Politics with our lives. From our point of view a lot of it was pointless. It was as if the enemy stole your Flag and put it on top of a hill with 6/7 Guards every second US Soldier would volunteer to charge the hill and Machine guns just to get the Flag back.
    As you know the Average Aussie would say if the hill was of no strategic importance. Let them have the flag. We will buy a new one. "

    Italy also has been doing the same. France will have to follow suit. The Yellow Vests overall are objecting to the Globalist nature of the USA and UK. The UK? who cares?
    It would be good to see them go down with the USA.
    They at heart can't accept there Empire disappeared long ago.

  4. Wow the comments do agree with the reality and do not buy the Democracy flag . And the Columbia not only early participation in destabilizing attacks and assassination attempts , and its 350 killings of its social Workers alone . Then business using Venezuela workers paying them much less than the fried employees they replace ! Is clearly showing the disconnect on the issues of Latin America ! Migrants are a component of that as loss of hope and now the demand of nations to contain migrants seeking political Assistance while a clear violation of human rights as well as Geneva Convention that also stated no refusal at entry for those very things the Vice President And then President used the words that made it exactly a Geneva Convention issue from the very start ! Perhaps the Geneva Convention that Mexico and Brazil and United States wish to amend the very special document that protects our military and our civilians as seen from past wars as specific to the details that have been tested furring this migrant exercise that we find our self in ! A wall will slow down the migrants climbing or flying around the wall ! But not to help Latin America with solving a problem that past Administrations had admitted in helping create is the best option to help those who truly rather be at home country . And The wall is only a reaction to the issues not solving a growing issue , made to use Latin America’s citizens as a gift to company’s doing bossiness in country’s to help pay governments so they can continue to pay International Monetary Fund and its interest so as to not forfeit natural resources that are being used as collateral to further create a division in our very Amazing and gift to the world the larger than Europe , the Amazon that is being polluted as oil extraction hidden over the years and loss of country size areas of jungles per month and animal and life extinction while. Removing and demanding natural resources or the current demonstration of continued sanctions to nations to those who resist or support nations that they know are harming its citizens even killing them and using the honor of the word democracy. when you can see by your posts or true reports on the street. That as in Vietnam if elections are not liked then you place troops after a display of dome sort and see how far you can harm populations until someone gives up what was a democratic. Vote but made to look or sound or appear to be anything but what reality was and use the fear factor to bring in others to do what they would not ! If they had heard the truth ! We will only spread arms all over Latin America who then will need money for rebel groups who find weapons or trade for drugs .. As many red flags as Americans see , and frankly the comments here write the no way but create more harm is harming America and the worlds perception of all Americans’ unfairly as so many Americans as you see agree with the actions being more of what America fights to to protect and liberate nations in oppression , not oppress nations as we have our special forces motto has taken as its sacred duty and built its honor around from the start ! We must have a better Latin America policy Advisory than one that is just a scripted for a specific selected few to have contracts that are nothing more but a hold up note ! I love America and am a vet . And it greaves me to see our country harmed by our actions that will if continues have no friends to turn to unless payed off ! If at all ! Disasters and world peace is important and national resources race to capture will send additional crises that are have one outcome total nuclear conflict . What can’t this administration not see or has been backed into black mail to continue on this Hillary policy of no buy no sell to Venezuela , for natural resources , and using other nations to hide the true supporting nation as it is that bad to have to hide its efforts and use the very special word with meaning. ,,, democracy , that the majority see as it is nit in any way in any part and any were of honor in this case!

  5. Pompeo war criminal.U S has become an evil entity ran by Israel and the war machine.The people of the U S are being used and abused.

  6. Menendez…stool pigeon for the cabal…they told him to put the bill forth for THEM…THEY WROTE IT…AND ARE FORCING THE STOOL PIGEON MENENDEZ AND THE OTHE GUY AS STOOL PIGEONS TO GATHER CONSENSUS AMONG HISPANICS….WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER.

  7. SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER, TIME IS SOON COMING AND YOUR WORDS WILL BE A TESTAMENT TO HIM. AND HE SHALL CALL BUT HE WILL NOT ANSWER. SUFFER SUFFER AT YOUR HANDS AND ALL OVER WHERE THESE HANDS ARE BUSY WORKING INEQUITY.

  8. anything we do in life,we will have to answer to a higher authority! and it is surely not trump,but the almighty GD! GD will consume U,when u suffer the poor! dont forget,the poor are allways in the corner of GD! If U think GD is standing next to U,U are a donkey! The poor are his children!

  9. if the poor suffers cuz of us with our demonic sanctions, we will pay the price! The wrath of GD will tear us apart! we can never withold food from the mouths of the poor! U can only do that if U have satan on your side,and not the Holy GHost! Christians dont suffer mankind!

  10. It is just as likely that all the powers of the world be it within the UN or other interparlimentary intergovermental organizations work together using statistics to distinguish populations and economic value and then purge people that are deemed a part of the useless eater club by maginalization and war. If youTake away all the talking points is that what is left over? Population growth multiplied by national economic output divided by the consumption of individuals equals… Or not

  11. Evil Shrek lookalike Plumpeo, is full of bs and hate, but always espousing his "Christian" values. What phonies and ungodly people run this world today.

  12. If civil war looms, there may be millions of refugees coming out of Venezuela, but that is of course no argument for Pompeo or Trump. First of all they will only accept the bullshit idea that they really could fix and not destroy the country. But if they would destroy it, which is almost certain, they would only pick and choose among the refugees those who are “useful” for the US, depriving Venezuela of educated and adaptable young folks. It’s the same kind of thinking with the European elites who want open borders and closed borders at the same time, depending on who you ask. It’s at the same time a brain drain for Africa by those who can fly out, and death for many poor who drown in the Mediterranean Sea.

  13. Pompeo's right "it doesn't take, man, it doesn't take long for you to see, aahh, what's really going on there.", and it doesn't look at all honourable for the U. S. Government. And it's not just the policies of the Trump administration, it's been going on through previous administrations Trump just picked up the baton and held it as high as he can.

  14. I suspect there's an underlying religious aspect to this, like you've got the evangelical Christians in the US Administration verses a mostly Catholic Venezuela.

  15. I cannot wait for China to take some step an dump US Treasury. They holdan sink this economy and I pray and I hope Saudi Arabia come on board and dump the petrodollar let's see how United States going to get out that's all sanctions who that's what I thought👹✔

  16. correction to the gentleman you made a lot of great point but you forgot it started in 1998 not 2017 go back in your history and you will see you when America started sanctioning an embargo on Venezuela government private sector check it out 1998 you wish shopping that's when America started when the alligator key lost their foothold

  17. Maduro was democratically elected. What we are doing is just terrible. In order to further the goals of private companies we are decimating the poor and vulnerable in Venezuela.

  18. Only the evil ones like Pompeo, Bolton, Pence n Abrams will not leave up the sanction on Venezuela. These evil ones love to see the pain n suffering by the Venezuelans! They will be answerable to the Creator soon!
