I don't think you are following this at all. And I believe that you are the one who must rethink what you're writing, about and from. There is a difference between a venezuelan who is biased and a venezuelan who really cares about making things work, with anyone who puts Venezuela's interest over any other agenda. Maybe you think that Maduro has at some point done that, and I would agree if I understand you correctly. But I'll give you this example: If Maduro raises an army and puts guns on only his followers, they are not going to defend the country against the US, they are going to use that against the people here biased with the western policies, and that is whats happening year after year in Venezuela. Do you see any US army shooting down venezuelan military? Have you seen venezuelan army fighting a war, or do you think it'll stand a chance agains the US? The only thing going on here with Maduro and Chavez trying to "defend Venezuela" is the fact that venezuelans suffer this, as Cuba does and as every communist and dictatorial government in the world. You're not asking people if they want to defend their country. Chavism is clearly defending their spot as the sole ruler of this horrible faith, and we cannot blame US over this. The lack of commitment to really overcome our crisis is by far the worst mistake that chavism has committed, and they must be judged and processed as criminals There is no law who can say otherwise.

To see a larger picture is what I am asking you to do not the other way around. There is a lot of people who like me, are far prepared and experienced in politics, military actions/sanctions and especially how the world strings act as a puppeteers with people who see goodness in evil like you are right now. We are experiencing it all, from the US controlling to now being "owned" by Russia, China and controlled by Cuba. This is not a claim, it's a fact, it's our every day reality. As you are canadian, please take the time to study all of the 5k venezuelans that are currently living there. At least 70-80 % of them are from my town, and the original PDVSA, not the politically centralized one, many people who live there, even if they approve somehow Maduro, are living there because they don't want to live here. Just think of that for a second, and of course, that 80% I'm referring to were politically mistreated and do not want to see chavism rule this country anymore.

As for the opposition here, I'm not with them. My uncle is the national Ombudsman and that is one of the top charges in Venezuela right now. I'm well informed of every string being pulled and like I said, I'm not making claims. You just have to think and review your own words in order to understand that you're the one being partial and biased. How in earth are you going to defend a president intentions? When you are clearly adressing agendas and controls being pulled worldwide? Almost every office running is guilty for making people poorer, for creating debts, for mismanaging a country's resources. Isn't this what we should discuss? Instead you're just taking a look at what you think it's right and are not seeing the bigger picture that you claim to have locked in. I ask you politely to open your mind, like you think everyone else should. And open your eyes about one side over the other; cause they have been playing together all along. As long as you don't want to take a part into really understand your equals, you will continue to look as an amateur into politics. And that is a claim I will have to work on my own, because every human being is a work in progress, as long as one wants to and focus into it.
