Stop putting words into my mouth. I never said I want an invasion. We should just do everything we can to oust the mad dog dictator Maduro and save the Venezuelan people from government mismanagement.

Should I be wary of a news item saying that the UN reported the most asylum demands from Venezuelans this year? I get the feeling those numbers might be skewed specially with the Rothingya in mind.

It's not so unbelievable considering what happened in the last few months. A lot of people were putting their eggs into the Guaido basket.

Yeah, it is clear on one hand sanctions are having an effect but on the other hand, I feel like Caracas at street-level looks and feels very different it has been presented as. Maybe it is because pretty much every other video that you see is street-fights or protests but the situation seems more complicated than the picture you get in the states.

Here's a challenge for y'all: Go there. This guy has proven you can do it. Go there, don't give me some bullshit, see it for yourself. Get someone to escort you and go around Caracas. Due to The Wonders Of The Socialist Bolivarian Revolution, it is cheaper to fly there and live like a king for a weekend than to get an AirBnB in any big American city.
