    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.

      Well, at least some of the criminal element is out of the mix.

        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

          Nah, he just did a Biden.

            @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.
