    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Exactly. It's very impressive, but I see stories that Maduro is cracking down on the protests and rallies.

              Maduro still has hold in over the army. If he were to lose that control then it’s good night Caracas for him and his regime.

                Hopefully it will work. Reading back on Premier Ceausescu, nobody really predicted that or thought it was possible. (But I think that was more of a coupe than a true public uprising and overthrow).

                Sad what is happening to the people down there in Ven.

                    The US signed a "secret" MOU with Venezuela last May '23 that would reduce sanctions and restore diplomacy IF Maduro held free fair elections.

                    I guess Maduro just read the part about holding elections. LOL

                        @Jolly As a county, Venezuela had a lot to gain if he had followed through. Sad for the citizens of the country.

                          I saw a chart indicating that pre-Chavez, Venezuela was the richest country in South America. It is now the poorest.

                                    When Trump made that statement, was it correct?

                                    Trump's campaign line has been that the border problem has led to increased crime in the U.S., because Venezuela had shipped a lot of their criminals northward. Since they had less criminals, Venezuela 's crime rate had fallen.
