RE: The U.S. Government Destroyed Venezuela not Socialism

Yet I am certain the rumors are wildly exagerated

How can you be certain? Because some people in Romania lied about the bathroom of a corrupted politician?

Understand Venezuela is a country with oil and for the past 2 decades the oil revenue has been extremely high, but somehow, the FX reserves have been decreasing, the same can be said about the standards of living and the economy.

Some of the democratic leaders we've had since stole much more

That’s very sad, but again, how can you be sure if you don’t know how much they steal or how much the dictator from the past stole?

In Venezuela the current totalitarians looted the country like never before, and due to their socialist ideology, they also introduced laws that weaken the economy even further.

How do you know for certain how much the elite stole in Venezuela? Have you counted for yourself every dollar they have in foreign accounts? My guess is you read it somewhere, in the free western media...

I am not certain how much they stole, but taking into account this government received more oil revenue than all of the previous governments combined, and knowing the country is bankrupted, it is easy to assume these looters are the worst.

My guess is you read it somewhere, in the free western media

No, the hundreds of billions in stolen money is an estimate by Venezuelan economists, but either way, would you prefer to read some media backed by Maduro or other totalitarians regimes? What's the media you like to read?

I tend to read what both sides have to say and believe very little...
