They’re eating cats in Caracas.

Where is the Peace Corps when they’re really needed?

I think we can solve this hunger issue by sending all of the professors at US universities to Venezuela.

So they can eat them.

Solving two problems at once.

Venezuela collapsed under far-left socialist Barack Hussein, and 44% still want to blame the USA for waging an economic war? The Ctrl-Left is deluded.

But some of my professor told me it would work if only the right people were in charge. Did not the movie stars and others tell us that Chavez was one of those people?

I can’t believe 44% of respondents blame America for the Chavistas turning Venezuela into a socialist hell hole.

Bs on a stick. Your professor is describing a monarchy or an oligarchy. Unacceptable.

I am not aware of any sanctions that USA has put on Venezuela. Obama would have been responsible for that in any case.

I did not say my professor were right. Only that is what they believe. I certainly never have believed it.

Why is the once thriving nation of Venezuela on the brink of total collapse?

Socialism has destroyed the Venezuelan economy (54%)

The United States has waged an “economic war” against Venezuela (42%)

I’m not sure (4%)

“Why is the once thriving nation of Venezuela on the brink of total collapse?”

The successful implementation of a communist system of government.
