"The lack of clean water is the latest in a string mass shortages experienced in Venezuela under the rule of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Access to basic resources from food to medicine is now extremely limited, mainly as a result of hyperinflation that has rendered its Bolivar country as practically worthless. Based on real worth exchange rates, the country’s minimum wage is roughly equivalent to one dollar ($1) a month."

Malnourished children without medical care forced to drink unsafe drinking water.

That is what socialism is in real life.

Isn’t the UN supposed to intervene in these types of social calamities. Oh, that’s right, most of the countries in the UN are dictatorships with a very and mostly starving and unarmed populations. And it’s the Democrat socialists and the RINO establishment types in DC who want to disarm all America citizens. Are the American people really that suicidally stupid?

It’s why they stopped importing toilet paper - you don’t eat you don’t need TP.

Even without a Second Amendment, why have these people not overthrown their government?

The people who voted for Chavez and Maduro deserve what they get. They are criminal co-conspirators.

But people who did not vote for them at all, and voted against them, are victims for whom I have deep sympathy.

Sounds like the old joke, if Saudi Arabia did socialism they would soon run out of sand.

If they could control it, socialists would find a way to screw up air.

I have no sympathy. They reelected Nicolás Maduro just recently. They get what they deserve.

“Venezuela ... the failed socialist country now appears to be running out of clean water”

They wanted Hugo Chavez. He started running a rich oil company into a toilet. And now Chavez II (Maduro) is finishing off the job.

I feel for the Venezuelans who voted against these two dictators. As to the ones who were stupid enough to vote for them: I know you’re stupid but surely even with a low IQ you can learn something from this fiasco.
