This is a no brainer, it is just that THE TRUTH doesn't fit into Trump's political strategy. Got that one Facebook? This political rhetoric is a HUGE lie!
Venezuela's economic collapse has nothing to do with socialism or communism or anything other than an economy that is NOT DIVERSIFIED.
The people of Venezuela need humanitarian relief. As soon as there is food in their bellies and clean water to drink, the civil unrest in the country will stop. Maduro has instead of addressing the humanitarian need of the country, turned to Russia for $1 trillion in weapons. That money was sorely needed for the people. I am not surprised they are unhappy with Maduro. He is a foolish leader without answers for his people.
Russia needs to return those monies to Venezuela in order for the people to rehabilitate their economy and provide a better future for Venezuelan children. I always faulted Hugo Chavez for his outsourcing higher education of his own people. Venezuela can be a great country, but, it needs to change drastically to return civil obedience to the people. Included in that change is hope for the future of every Venezuelan child.
Hugo Chavez was quick to point out the problems with other countries that didn't appreciate his leadership. But, he rarely reflected on the demoralized lifestyle of the Venezuelan people in comparison to the quality of life of the rest of the world. Venezuela was never much of a sovereignty, considering it didn't value a brain trust.
It is a heavy lift for a country void of wealth and the brain trust to change it's path to prosperity.

...Venezuela (click here) has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, but since the 2014 crash in world oil prices, on which Venezuela depended for more than ninety per cent of its export revenues, its economy has contracted continuously, unleashing an economic crisis worse than that experienced by Americans during the Great Depression....
