Trump Is Uniting Latin America Against U.S...

Link: N.Y. Times..

Here we go intervening in a Country’s internal affairs AGAIN!.. In my mind this is clearly an issue which concerns the Pro Free Market Right Wing Business Groups in Venezuela trying to undo all the good things which Chavez accomplished for the majority of Venezuelans....

Yea i realize Chavez had his faults...Nevertheless the movement to remove Madura by Trump. is a developing story.which is certainly not new.. We’ve have seen this type of Right Wing Intervention by the U.S. before in South and Central America many times before..

By the way how come Trump ignores the Dictator’s currently ruling other Countries.?.. Turkey, Phillipines, etc.

Yep. Good things like 800%++ inflation; almost total shortage of medicines and medical supplies; vast sections of the populace going without enough to eat; staggering crime and murder rate; animal pets being stolen to be used as food - ditto for the animals in the Zoos; governmental armed thugs harassing any political opposition; the national legislature (popularly elected in fair election) to be supplanted by a rubber-stamp body dreamed up by the would-be dictator. The vast majority of the long-suffering people of Venezuela would be thrilled to see some of these wonderful things undone so they could get back to having some semblance of a normal life.
