RE: Trump : Take over of Venezuela
I think you need to look at history and apply them from a non-biased and 3rd party perspective. No history ever repeats itself, as no one can replicate the exact same conditions of a certain event.
You should talk about honouring the UN when Venezuela at least contributes its necessary requirements to the UN, instead of just championing its rights and asking for respect when Venezuela does not even give its due contribution to the UN. I think you are expecting too much from the world.
So do you think that blacks in America are worse off now? Should the fact that blacks now are living a relatively better life now in America be overlooked, just because of their horendous suffering and past? While this might relate to you directly due to your ethnicity, I recommend you to look at the world from a third person perspective, without any bias. So should America have not gone through the civil war? Should it not be celebrated that RELATIVELY, they live a much better life now, compared to blacks in the past?
In the case of US, they freed themselves from British colony because they were ABLE to do so, and they have succeeded, clearly unlike the Venezuela situation. You seem to be holding onto a belief that doing things without foreign intervention, failing and learning seems the way to go.
While I agree that foreign intervention has been a huge failure in the past, Wouldn't you also agree that every single situation, be it middle east, Asia, or Latin America, is situation of its own, and should not be compared to one another? Then, how is it fair to judge that future foreign interventions will be a failure too?
I think you are involving too much personal feelings, while I can take your criticisms with an open mind, I hope you try not to bring emotions into discussions, as they may cloud your rational judgement.
It is obvious that we have very different views and opinions, which I am sure as educated individuals we can all agree to disagree!
However, I will take a look at the video you have recommended to revisit what I already know, and hopefully it will further my knowledge and maybe I can gain new insights on these topic. Thank you once again for your suggestions!
