The Saudis ain't complaining. They're enjoying a high income economy and human development index. With tons of funds stashed for the rainy Day. Venezuela would wish to be like Saudi Arabia.
Ok, you didn’t notice China is the Saudi’s biggest trading partner for the past 10 years and are the Chinese are their biggest customer now paying in the Chinese currency.

You most likely missed that.

Stop hyping the USA! You’re confusing our people and pushing them into regrettable decisions. The world is changing fast…..

Governments don’t fix dirty cities, only the dirty and irresponsible citizens of the cities can!

Citizens are a section of the government.

Do you throw litter the streets and in the gutters as well?

I only ask if it is the masses that do all these. I needed confirmation from you because a senator said recently that he has 23 children and is planning on having more. I wondered if he counts in your tirade against the masses.
But besides, are you saying Nigeria's problems will be solved if the masses stop doing all you listed above?
Absolutely, at least 90-95% of the problems.

Our politicians come from the masses (no be so?) and they carry those horrible behaviours and attitudes into government and governance. And then we end up with “BAD LEADERS” . Get it?

Do Islamic terrorist like Trump? Thats the question.
Again, what concerns Islamic terrorists in this matter let alone whether they like Trump or not? Is Venezuela under siege from Islamic terrorists?

Does Venezuela even have a significant and terrorist Muslim population? Did the USA go into Venezuela to liberate Venezuelans from Islamic terrorist or did they cynically invade the nation to prevent the free choice of the Venezuelan Government in deciding who they sold their oil to i.e China?

Did you know that Maduro met with Chinese envoy the very day before he was abducted by the USA in a development many analysts say forced the hand of the USA to act before Maduro and Venezuela officially entered into an oil trade pact with China?

Everything the USA is doing under Trump, from trade tariffs on Soya to lawless military incursions into sovereign nations, is driven by the fear of China emerging as the new global, military and economic superpower of the World thus relegating the USA.

Whereas people like you keep barking ignorantly about Islamic terrorists.

Sad thing is that the USA cannot actually retain her dominance as the pre-eminent nation of the world because China's population, burgeoning technological superiority and discipline of her people, in comparison to Americans and all others, means Trump and the USA are fighting a losing and hopeless battle because China will inevitably win the War.

they are in venuzuala not iraq, afganistan or vietnam

why do you guys do not try to adapt to modern issues, always using past historical event to judge present situations
The paresent usually can't be divorced from what happened in the past. It usually shown a pattern. If it changes, it is usually because the pattern is no longer working or there is a new person at the helm.

Donald Trump is writing his own script. He has zero knowledge about how international relations work.

You never, ever, ever utter that the only products Venezuelans will purchase are American, even if they point a gun at your head.

Even if it is true, you must NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER utter.

You must NEVER NEVER NEVER utter that US oil companies will come and exploit Venezuelan oil resources

This strikes as exploitation and neo-colonialism, and trust me, Venezuelans will turn against the US.

Well said. I started the thread below a while back . Is it not now obvious the American criminal defense attorney and former state and federal prosecutor, Ron Filipkowski, who raised concerns over the mental stability of United States President Donald Trump may have a valid point that Trump is mentally unstable?

Like you stated, what he announced should never be uttered publicly because they are offensive and only a lunatic can make such provocative announcement tantamount to telling a man "I will enter your house, jail you and take your wife, family and asset as my own to do as I please with".

Like another poster said, no one would have believed this would be the reality of the world even a year ago. Yet I am not surprised .

We all know history to understand how Hitler carried Germany along in evil , unopposed and as Trump is doing, to the shame and regret of the German nation to this day.

Trump will leave the stage but the damage he is doing, that Americans are abetting, will linger to stain and haunt the USA for a long time. Human beings, Hitler etal for example, tend to see today only and not tomorrow or even ten years ahead.

A country dictating to another country on what to purchase and who to trade with!

Is that it? Trump and the USA won't be dictating what God Venezuelans should worship or declare homosexuality a criminal offence carrying the punishment of life imprisonment?

The USA should stop issuing patronising preambles аnd simply declare Venezuela, a previously soveriegn nation, a conquered extension of America they will fully 'Americanise' whether Venezuelans want that or not.

This development, again, simply confirms the world is full of self-serving and cowardly leaders.

When the bully and monster Trump leaves power they'll then all suddenly find their voices again.

Trump is not fighting against Venezuela he is against the drug lord Maduro and Venezuelans love it just as Trump is not fighting against Nigerians but against Islamic terrorists. Its simple. Or didn't u see Venezuelans rejoicing?

If the Democrats do impeach him after midterm elections, they would have done the world a big favor.

What's the difference.... it's been going on off stage so it's not like it really stopped.

Trump is not wise.

How do you want a poor country to afford made in America medicine and etc if you’re going to sell at market value?

This is colonization 2.0. Trump is just tweeting/truthing anything that comes to his dementia mind.

Tomorrow now he might say Venezuela should change their name to something in English
Venezuela is not a "poor" country, they have been sanctioned to death.

They can now afford these because their guardian angel, the US, will take their oil, convert it to cash and then use to buy US goods for them.

The problem is the future. Whatever he's doing now lasts with him being in office. Even the US oil firms are scared of investing billions of dollars in Venezuela and want assurances of stability. Can he guarantee that? It is obvious he has no clear plan apart seizing Venezuelan oil. The present govt in Venezuela is only bowing to Trump because of self preservation. Machado is angry and disappointed that she hasn't been asked to replace Maduro. What then happens when Trump is gone? To uproot the chavistas from Venezuela is herculean, because they have been entrenched in the system. In three years time Trump will be gone and the story of Venezuela will change.
He is even afraid of impeachment if his party loses the majority during the midterm election

The Americans have devalued Saudi’s wealth by nearly 80% over the last 50 years. Every time the Americans PRINT the dollar, they devalue Saudi Arabia’s (and the world) trillion dollar savings. This making them seriously less wealthy.
And yet their people are prospering.they hav basic amenities u do not have.there is literally no diff between saudi systwm n most countries in europe

WRONG. Because of sanctions.

Maduro is an anti-imperialist.

Do you know what that means, Mr Fox News head?

He wanted greater domestic control of his nation's oil and gas resources.

Do you even KNOW that it is bowing to western imperialism that generates poverty in developing countries?

Do you actually KNOW that?

So Trump is providing them with ''good leadership'' by forcing them at gun point to buy exorbitant American products?
