RE: Antiwar Hero Medea Benjamin Disrupts Venezuela Coup Circle Jerk
This is a tough one. Talking to a few Venezuelan Steemians, it seems the People of Venezuela are tired of being hungry, literally, tired of being hungry.
The US is of course imperialistic and a known Colonizer, with only self interest for its wealthy, so I agree that if Venezuela was resource poor, the US most likely would not give a dam.
I will re-steem to see if anyone from Venezuela comments....

If Venezuela did not have it's huge oil reserve, the U.S. would not have intervened to create the economic chaos that has been going on there for the past few years. When Venezuela rejected the continued use of the petro dollar for it's oil, that's when the economic pressure against Venezuela by the U.S. became serious.
Yeah, that's the especially tough thing about economic sanctions. It is the poor of a country that are the most impacted.
