The situation in Venezuela has become so bad that even soldiers are struggling to support themselves.

Sadly, it won’t be. We know that all socialist economies eventually fail and the more extreme they are, the quicker it happens. Yet, most of the ignorant people in this world want to believe otherwise - “the right people weren’t in charge”.

They are selling the goats to ISIS.
To: Stentor
