The majority of Venezuelan refugees cite crime, inflation and lack of food/health security.
Those problems are a direct result of US sanctions.
The US implemented those sanctions to destabilize the government.
It looks like it worked

Unpopular opinion I guess:
Sovereign leader - who stole his election and was illegally running his country further into the ground.
I guess 8 million emigrants since the bolivarian revolution isn’t enough to consider VZ a failed state?
I’m not saying what trump did was right, but Maduro was a cunt, chavez was a cunt, the bolivarian revolution has been a complete failure and has cost all countries in the Americas billions of dollars since it started. We just gonna sit back and let despots run countries on our side of the globe?

The issue is that invading another country isn’t allowed. And what’s next: the invasion of Denmark (Greenland) or Canada by the USA… it suddenly seems more probable… nah, won’t happen, you’ll say, different situation. I don’t believe you and I stopped trusting Trump before his first term.
