Do u think the tRump administration did this to benefit the Venezuelan people?

They dont give a damn about the Venezuelan people. They want the oil sold cheap and in $US and the minerals. Venezuelans will get nothing out of this. Nothing.

Please don't ask a question, then follow immediately with your opinion (showing your question was meaningless rhetoric). You had me going for a moment there, as I was still in a state of mind, still digesting what our Venezulan GP had shared, still trying to imagine what ordinary people in country were feeling about this whole mess, and I thought for a moment that you'd asked a legit question.

I would like to know more of the potential benefits of this op, as seen by the people of Venezuela. Is it possible that ordinary people will benefit?

You're right.

And you've been right about Trump, Rubio and Venezuela all along, so keep posting your opinion. I sure hope you're wrong about Cuba being next, but I'm sure there's some Miami residents who are hoping for that as the next adventure.

Did you even read his comment?

> The vast majority are against the regime, just like me, although many aren't aware of how dangerous Trump is, or the things he's done in the US. To me, Trump isn't so different from Chávez: he insults those who disagree with him, he doesn't respect institutions, he installs his people in positions of power, and he only cares about loyalty. That's why I'm in a very complicated position, because on the one hand, I want this dictatorship to finally end; on the other hand, I don't like Trump. He's quite capable of trying to establish his own dictatorship in his country. He's not doing this just to liberate us; he's doing it because he has his own interests.

> What Trump and Marco Rubio has said about the situation is worrying, because they make very obvious that their priority it's the oil and democracy seems more like an afterthought.

Your right.
