Maduro is starting to sound like North Korea's fat boy leader Kim "what's-his-name". In fact Venezuela is starting to resemble and sound like North Korea. Blame every bad thing on the United States. Never on the socialist/communist policies that were put in effect. It's a mysterious American "general" causing all the trouble. Why not blame Obama also? Socialists/communists love Obama that's why.
That’s the drill throughout Latin America. The leaders blame all their problems on the Yankees. Why? Cause the Marines occupied our port for 18 months 112 years ago, THAT’S why!
The big difference is that Venezuela does have a huge communist puppet master along its border to prop up the unstable regime. I would not be surprised to hear of a regime overthrow or assassination one morning.
