We are not in the shithole we are because “we went against the USA”. The US was our biggest business partner. Our problem was we elected a coupster moron that destroyed our economy. It was our own doing.
You skipped the part where the "coupster moron" and his buddies pissed the US off by nationalizing oil industry and kicking the American companies out. That's what I am referring to.
We are geographically close and we always had good relations that were beneficial for both before these thugs came to power. The so called revolution just ruined Venezuela and caused the biggest exodus in the hemisphere. Maduro being captured and jailed was a blessing and something we’ve been hoping to happen for many years.
