The US Attacked my country... (lemmy.world)

I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

It's not oil that is cheap or easy to get. A lot of it is tar sands and very sour crude that is dangerous to process. I dont think the US companies that want to get in there necessarily will quickly because of the infrastructure needed to even get it.

This seems more like a politically motivated regime change pushed from someone like Marco Rubio. Maybe Cuba will be next.
