    Yours is the usual spiel- apply sanctions/report people's suffering as a result of bad government/invade to ' free' them.

    Venezuela rode it out . You are losing.
    Now turn your attention to the forthcoming Covid and supply riots in England.

    You are confusing cause and effect. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights reported that “the pervasive and devastating economic and social crisis began before the imposition of the first economic sanctions". And the first sanctions were targeted at individuals only.

    I'm not starving and neither are you. But we'll see what happens when the supply riots start, eh?

    You are saying that sanctions were applied as a result of people suffering economic crisis.

    Haw, haw........................haw.

    Covid riots first, I'd say................although your government does put its own ass before the lives of its population.

    They've never seen a political spectrum either. They think fascism is leftist. There should be some sort of basic competency test for participating in political forums.

    Nope, the UN Commissioner for Human Rights said that.

    I added that the first sanctions were targeted at the individuals responsible for the crisis (and btw, those sanctions were imposed by - among others - the blameless EU).

    Venezuela is a flawed democracy.

    So is our democracy for that matter.

    EU observers reported that there were improvements in this years Venezuelan election, but there are still some structural obstacles to opposition parties.

    Naturally, we have no moral right to interfere with their domestic affairs. But for the sake of protecting world democracy, it doesn't hurt to have international observers on the scene to report out what is going on. I wouldn't even complain if reputable international observers watched American elections, because our democracy has problems too

    That's my observation. If he wanted to work he could get a job and not be broke after next weekend until the next 1st of the next month.

    Yes, I have seen poverty. Have never really experienced it as I am an able-bodied worker in America.

    I've been out of money before, sure, but always survived.

    You entered it in support of your own argument. You own it.

    I added that the first sanctions were targeted at the individuals responsible for the crisis (and btw, those sanctions were imposed by - among others - the blameless EU).
    You don't know which individuals bore any responsibility for any ' crisis ' reported outside of Venezuela. Those that objected to American/British/Israeli hegemony were the ones targeted.
    Again- your spiel consists of stitched canards.

    Poverty according to who?

    I read a post here the other day that's ..accurate. The definition of poverty in America is different today than it was in 1964. If you're starving in America today, you're clearly doing it wrong.

    Personally I think Johnson was wrong. Rewarding people for doing nothing has led to them breeding and multiplying the amount of people that do nothing but eat.
    Do you think millions of illegal aliens will help or hinder those people to rise out of poverty?

    Compare them to those in Venezuelan poverty. In poverty in America doesn't mean you're starving to death. Not since 1964.

    I think it was a mistake.

    Investigation of a year’s worth of data reveals the scale of America’s hunger and food insecurity crisis during a year of Covid-19



    Black families in the US have gone hungry at two to three times the rate of white families over the course of the pandemic, according to new analysis which suggests political squabbling over Covid aid exacerbated a crisis that left millions of children without enough to eat.

    An investigation into food poverty by the Guardian and the Institute for Policy Research (IPR) at Northwestern University found gaping racial inequalities in access to adequate nutrition that threatens the long-term prospects of a generation of Black and brown children.

    It's easy to solve- apply sanctions to the individuals responsible.......

    haw, haw..........................haw..........

    ...then apply sanctions to the people that object.............


    haw, haw.................................haw........... ......

    ...then conjure up a new puppet president ................

    haw, haw.......................................haw....

    ....back him militarily ............................


    haw, haw......................................haw


    ..................then drop food parcels to the people , paid for by military/industrial profits

    Haw, haw, haw, haw....................................haw.


    So- which Americans should the world sanction first ? Blame them for the millions of destitute Americans.
