Venezuela's coming civil war has been a long time coming, and it is still coming. The rot set in early after President Chávez was elected in 1999, as shown by Venezuela's cattle statistics.

Then the oil revenue fell away, too, so ordinary Venezuelans now subsist on starchy root vegetables. Recently, individual troops have been siding with the protesters, a sign that the civil war is not far off. Despite Venezuela's troubles, population growth has kept rock-steady at 1.5% per annum – which means there is no point in trying to save Venezuela, because the country's large and increasing population, with nothing to do, won't be able to feed itself at some further future point.

A civil war is in prospect in South Africa, in which the ruling African National Congress has promoted the idea of seizing land from the remaining whites, who number 4 million out of a population of 50 million. This shouldn't be surprising, as Nelson Mandela used to sing about killing whites, as does the current South African president, Jacob Zuma. The country's HIV problem, at 13.6% in blacks and 0.3% in whites, has been kept under control by government-provided anti-retroviral drugs. A societal breakdown that stops that supply will provide a kick-along to the death rate. South Africa will resemble the set of The Walking Dead – war-torn and diseased.

There are civil wars underway in Syria, Libya, and Yemen, but nobody really cares about what happens to people who are unpleasant most of the time. Far more consequential is what is happening in Europe. Richard Fernandez's latest piece attracted a comment that included the...

There are civil wars underway in Syria, Libya, and Yemen,.."
"Venezuela's coming civil war has been a long time coming, and it is still coming."
The media minimizes or ignores the crisis in our own backyard because it doesn't fit the Socialist agenda.
When the supply chain is broken (food, medicine, transportation, communication, etc.) lawful society is at risk

.....” even here in the US people below the “poverty line” have tangible wealth compared to those in the third world.”.....

An we should never apologize for this..nor be responsible for other nations poverty. We can always share our ideas but it is up to the country and the people to put these into play.

Those are refugees I would welcome. Not because they are white, but because they would work to contribute to our society.

All the more reason to become self sufficient in our own country, state, county, and backyard. God has blessed us with some additional time to get prepared-best use it quickly, since no one knows how long the dance will last.
