Everyday we see people calling Venezuela's elections "unfair". This accusation is absolutely arrogant, after all, it is not as if the countries that support these accusations have "fair elections" (no election can be considered "fair" under the yoke of Capital, vide lobby). Our personal opinion of Maduro should be absolutely irrelevant when we have a clearly puppet of US imperialism on the other side. My God, Guaidó went far enough to recognize the coup plotter, currently imprisoned, Jeanine Áñezz as legitimate president of Bolivia. He clearly does not fight for "freedom".
My brother in Christ, Venezuela entered in selective default in 2017 and lost the chance to refinance when their own government overleveraged PDVSA's companies overseas to steal this money using the excuse of social programs and export the revolution to south America.
The currency was devaluated to oblivion by the own government of Chavez and Maduro when over printing Venezuelan Bolívares to the point where sixteen zeros had to get removed from the paper to have normal bills. This was before the sanctions.
Ultimately the decriminalization of hard currency in Euros and dollars overtook the streets with both money laundering and foreign family remittances and this is what really has that economy going, not redistribution of oil tax wealth, as for over 800 days with inflation of over 100% a year, no salaries have been increased nor minimum wages adjusted.
Oversimplification of the facts on this post do not transfer to the dire Palestinian crisis nor excuse the responsibility of Chavez and Maduro's legacy of destruction, division of families and liquefaction of pensions and salaries.
Nice job portraying all that as Biden's specific work.
In any case, if you want to see the US go hardcore on Israel support, then by all means Trump will do that.
