Re: Sanctions against Venezuela
Why? Because the Chavista government is a bunch of thugs - left-wing thugs with a lot of popular support, but still thugs. They've gotten quite a bit worse since Chavez's death. And with all respect, "Chile redux" shows a notable lack of understanding of both Chile in 1973 and Venezuela today."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,

Re: Sanctions against Venezuela
I wonder if it is the "thugs" or the "left wing" that Congress does not like? Looking at history, thugs used to be OK but even democratically elected left wing was to be sanctioned out of existence.Last edited by Keith Wilson; 12-12-2014, 07:40 AM."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,

Re: Sanctions against Venezuela
Seems that Congress is stuck on stupid
Again and again they destabilze countries, force the colapse of the offending regime , then sit back and watch as a power vacume developes and the country descends into a failed stateComment

Re: Sanctions against Venezuela
Don't be silly. Do you really imagine that sanctions against a few government officials will cause the collapse of civil order and turn Venezuela into a 'failed state'? Here's what they really mean (from the BBC story).
If the bill is passed, Venezuelan officials deemed to have violated the rights of protesters could be denied visas to the US and see their assets frozen."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,

Re: Sanctions against Venezuela
Chavez rejected the "Washington consensus " and went his own way . he educated and lifted many many Venezuelan's from poverty. He was successful.
Its clear that his methods has defects and now that Oil is low its clear that Venezuela will struggle to stay afloat.
this doesnt mean that now is a good time for Washington to swoop in and destabilize the situation even more.
America should work with Venuzuala, not against itComment

Re: Sanctions against Venezuela
Whether they're a good idea or not, I seriously doubt that sanctions aimed at specific individuals engaged in political repression in Venezuela will have much effect either way on the stability of the country.
