Some questions for US leaders and pundits who support regime change in Venezuela:
- How can you call Maduro "autocratic" when you've been trying to overthrow Venezuela's government for more than two decades? Did any Venezuelans vote for you to change their government? Deciding for a foreign population who should rule them and how they should govern sounds autocratic to me.
- How can you rail against Venezuelan "socialism" when your government is massively intervening in Venezuela's economy -- with the aim of destroying it? You claim to worship the free market yet employ Treasury Dept. bureaucrats to design sanctions that cut off Venezuela from global markets and even seize its assets. By your definition of it, that sounds pretty "socialist."
- How can Trump and others demonize undocumented immigrants when they knowingly create millions of them by destroying Venezuela's economy and forcing them to flee?

"Who elected Donald Trump or Joe Biden or Mike Pompeo or Fred Fleitz to make a decision on behalf of the Venezuelan people, in this case, who should rule their government and specifically trying to change their government by destroying their economy? I can't think of anything more autocratic."
