Hi

Need you ask?

The economics of Radical Socialism, state control of production and distribution, it is now a Dictatorship, only existing because of the use of the Military to crush Democracy.

People are queuing for hours for the basics, dying for lack of simple medicines, inflation has made wages and pensions worthless.

Corbyn is a supporter.

A family friend is Venezualan, married to a Brit, with two adult children. She cannot go and visit her elderly parents, which did did most years, as she will be considered an "enemy of the State" and will not be allowed to leave. Her sister is a schoolteacher there and her income now is not even enough to buy food, given the inflation rate. Our friend is very distressed about her family and country.

Starting in 2014, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia flooded the market with cheap oil. This is not a mere business decision, but a calculated move coordinated with U.S. and Israeli foreign policy goals. Despite not just losing money, but even falling deep into debt, the Saudi monarchy continues to expand its oil production apparatus. The result has been driving the price of oil down from $110 per barrel, to $28 in the early months of this year. The goal is to weaken these opponents of Wall Street, London, and Tel Aviv, whose economies are centered around oil and natural gas exports.


Always good to read alternative points of view.

Makes some sense how such an oil rich countries economy got into difficulties.

Hi

Venezuela is bankrupt, other major oil producers are not.

Venezuela has enough oil to beat Saudi at it's own game.

Re: Veneszuelans eating Zoo animals

Not when the despicable US has made it a pariah state, put up its own trade barriers and forbidden other countries trading with Venezuela too.

Re: Veneszuelans eating Zoo animals

Veneszuela has been trading its oil very cheaply for influence in other countries .
That doesn't seem to have helped its domestic situation .

This are a couple of versions of what happened .

Hi

Always somebody else's fault isn't it UJ?

There is no ban on the sale of Venezuela Oil on the world markets.

Re: Veneszuelans eating Zoo animals

Not officially, but a nod is as good as a wink, hence Venezuelas markets have ceased.

Re: Veneszuelans eating Zoo animals

But........it's a socialist state.......on America's doorstep.

The same country uses regime change as part of it's foreign policy, the same country that thinks institutions such as the NHS are wicked communism , that had an era of McCarthyism.
