Looters take to Venezuela's streets as blackout enters its FIFTH day killing 15 kidney patients as under-pressure president Maduro claims the power cut was caused by an 'imperialist' electromagnetic attack from the US
Who is John Galt?
At the current pace of things....I’d say that Maduro is in his final ten to fifteen days. If he can’t restore power, that’s the final door to his legit existence. Amazing that this country.....fifty years ago, was considered the most advanced country in South America, and how far it’s fallen in fifty years.
Quien es JUAN GALTO?.......................................
This is the phantom of a civil war. I truly wonder how long the population can refrain themselves before the real violent overthrow of Maduro’s government takes place?
South America, and how far it’s fallen in 15 years..............................
Armed men were seen forcefully escorting young men and women to the cattle cars. /fixed
We’ve been shouting from the rooftops for a century, and yet very few hear.
What’s left to Loot ?
This is the end result of Socialism. People literally starving but the police and military, loyal to the government and well-fed, are still able to keep the people down. So they riot and die.
The primary motivating force in Venezuela is now fear.
How will that be directed?
Towards the safety of a return to Maduro or towards anger that wants him dead and gone?
Hospitals without backup generators. Can’t wait.
“Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. ... Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country,”
By the way, search the net for Trump socialism, and this is what you find.
In short, Trump is a national socialist – or perhaps “social nationalist” would be the better term. To be sure, he is not a Nazi. Nor is he a national socialist in the vein of the current North Korean tyranny, or that of Pol Pot. He is a different type of nationalist/ socialist.
They paint Trump as a Socialist!
Your dialysis machine will only work when the sun is out or the wind is blowing. And that ventilator while you are on the O.R. table Phhhhht.
“Towards the safety of a return to Maduro or towards anger that wants him dead and gone?”
There are approximately 20,000 Cuban troops who are now essentially trapped in Venezuela. They will not go quietly when Maduro falls.
And fall he will.
L
Death of another Socialist nation.
See America? An example of what NOT to do!!
“fifty years ago, was considered the most advanced country in South America, and how far it’s fallen in fifty years.”
I remember it being a big deal vacation prize package on The Price is Right
Jose Shrugged
AOC and Dems:
They just didn’t do it ‘right’..............................
Every time............
I went on the Trip Advisor Forum for Venezuela the other day to check out what travelers were saying.
Amazingly, even as late as last month, there were people on there who claimed they were still planning trips to Venezuela, and that the situation there was being “exaggerated” by the media. One poster, from Brazil, even referred to the “Imperialist Big Brother” (aka, the United States) as an instigator of the bad press Venezuela was receiving.
