Venezuela and Saudi Arabia in the eyes of the American one-eyed foreign policy

[Yonadav]

No doubt that fatso in Venezuela needs to be overthrown. He has done nothing but destroy that place. However, it is interesting how the U.S. suddenly becomes interested when there is oil involved.

What's more interesting is how interested the US becomes every time a country in the Americas takes a turn to the left. For example, a lot of the trouble in Honduras stems from the US legitimizing a coup against a popular Honduran president who turned decidedly to the left. I am not certain of the full extent of US meddling in Venezuelan affairs, but I do know that we helped a number of the elite move their wealth out of Venezuela. I am pretty certain that we could have helped the Venezuelans stabilize their economy, but we wanted it to fail instead. We understand socialist economics pretty well. We could have sent some experts to help Hugo Chavez enact his socialist reforms more effectively. It would make a hell of a lot more sense to help countries such as Venezuela with their socialist reforms, because they would be great incubators for us to practice with and learn from. But instead, we undermine them.
