Shit going down in Venezuela

[Wadaad]

It's people who don't want to eat stray cats and dogs for dinner any more. It has gotten that bad. The Venezuelan poor discovered that poverty can get worse and politicians aren't magicians who can make food and services appear just by saying they will.

The Venezuelan poor should figure out their (and any oil producing country's) leader has little say in oil prices. And even that has an American hand, because of your shale ventures, the Saudis have been overflowing the market with cheap oil for years now.

btw an aside...When the Saudis publically trade Aramco, and it has to show its books, it will be the end of shale forever. The Saudis have trillions, not billions of oil reserves, oil is probably not even something finite from wht it looks like.

The Venezuelan poor should realize their previous leader (Chavez) didn't prepare them for a down turn because he was busy buying their love. You keep trying to turn this into the fault of other people. It's common sense that if your only source of wealth is your natural resources that when times are good you invest the money in developing your nation. You don't spend it in social programs that while it makes people happy in the moment it doesn't get them out of poverty.

Why don't you just say you're ignorant of Venezuela's politics and economics instead of trying to turn this into a different discussion?

I asked some person living in Venezuela about it and he said a large segment of the population actually wishes the US would do something. It's clear this is all on Maduro.

You better seek some professional help.

the only ignorant person is you...Oil rich population low Saudi Arabia DID save up for rainy day during its high prices...all that is on the verge of depletion nd they are contemplating or have already instituted income tax for the first time in their history. No amount of saving for a rainy day by Chaves back in 2002-2008 would have preventd this. Only stopping the unnecessary and environmentlly EVIL shale drilling being discontinued could have, but that would be asking greedy Americans to do something for the greater good of humanity instead of lining a few pockets.

some may be desperate but i doubt most would want to make a pact with the devil.

So bureaucratic corruption in places like Venezuela makes some people corrupt, cool...

How about the corporate corruption in the US were a few people in Wall Street make a killing due to being baied out after speculating (gambling) away other's money...and routinely engaging in insider trading?

What the FUCK does wall street have to do with this thread? I know you love America man, but we're discussing Venezuela right now.

You first faggot.
These aren't my words.

[Costas]

What a bunch of cunts Maduro and his followers are.

I hope the situation gets better, this is unbelievable

[Petros Houhoulis]

The only thing I can tell you is that I fucked my first Venezuelan hooker in Costa Rica many years ago, and a couple of Venezuelan hookers in Colombia a few months back. The vast majority of hookers in Colombia were from Venezuela.

Beyond that, all Latinos were short, many of them fat, fatter than me!

Of course, only Saudis, Venezuelans and the like should be allowed to produce oil and make a buck out of it. Yankees should burn in hell.
Too bad Somalia has no oil reserves, but we can fix that. All we have to do is capture all Wadaads and put them in a furnace. Maybe they shall produce some useful energy that way...
