Lets send AOC to Venezuela, xe will straighten everything out
Bernie too. With that APC/Bernie duo, they will have it fixed in weeks.
wonder what can possibly be wrong in Venezuela - it has socialism, nationalized most industries, no Fucking White Males present...the only issue I can see is Toxic Masculinity, but that apparently is OK when it emanates from minorities.
Of course, collapsing ancient power system (analog at that for most) can have absolutely nothing to do with under-funding, lack of repair/maintenance, not cleaning out vegetation from under power lines
Why is the United States so eager to change the regime in Venezuela anyhow?
Did the CIA also sabotage the toilet paper industry? How about the Bread industry?
fake politician
Find that weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq yet? Hey, stop that "humanitarian crisis" that was about to happen in Libya by bombing the nation yet?
Because Venezuela is imploding on its own and will send millions more of refugees to our borders.

Could it be that Venezuela is having genuine power delivery problems that are purely due to lack of maintenance? Sure - but over the entire country, all at once, right after a fake politician declared himself prezdident, that the United States immediately recognized as legitimate, who didn't run in the election, and is only a minor figure in Venezuelan politics? Sure - it's still possible.
Remember half the USA lost power because of one sub-station in Upstate NY or PA, I forget, just a few years ago. And people screamed terrorism but it was just a succession of failures and overload from one location.
Again, please stop creating false dichotomies.
The United States doesn't care what happens in Venezuela.
So is it the US or failed Socialist governance responsible for destroying Venezuela?
This is about money. Doesn't matter what party is in power. The US ruling class doesn't care, what they care about, is maintaining and expanding their power.
Authorities have managed to provide only patchy access to power since the outage began on Thursday in what President Nicolas Maduro called an act of U.S.-backed sabotage, but critics insist it is the result of incompetence and corruption.
The government on Sunday suspended school and business activities for the following day without providing any information on a likely time frame for resolving the situation, leaving many fretting that it could extend indefinitely.
The country's worst-ever power outage comes as Maduro faces a hyperinflationary economic collapse and an unprecedented political crisis. Opposition leader Juan Guaido in January invoked the constitution to assume the presidency after declaring Maduro's 2018 re-election a fraud.
Angry residents of the Caracas neighborhood of Chacao on Sunday set up barricades along a main avenue and on side streets to protest the continued blackout.
"The food we had in our refrigerators has spoiled, businesses are closed, there's no communication, not even by cell phone," Ana Cerrato, 49, a merchant, standing in front of a pile of razor wire and debris.
"We need help! We are in a humanitarian crisis!"
Lines at fuel stations extended for blocks as drivers queued for gasoline and busses waited to fill up with diesel. Families stood under the sun to buy potable water, which is unavailable for most residents whose homes do not have power.
State oil company PDVSA said on Sunday that fuel supplies were guaranteed. But only around 100 of the country's 1,800 service stations were operating due to the blackout, according to gas station industry sources.
Merchants unable to keep refrigerators working began giving away cheese, vegetables and meat to clients.
