> It's good to know that selling a country $29k in goods now equates to "supporting a dictatorship". It's not just some 'goods', it's military equipment. Also, you purposely picked a country with a low volume, when there are countless others with a much higher one on the list, including the likes of Egypt, Saudi Ariabia, the UAE etc. This is based on the Freedom House report, it's not some data that the author of the piece made up. > The idea that the US is wanting to overthrow Venezuela for oil is just silly. They output roughly what North Dakota does. I already said it has little to do with the output, yet you ignore it because it does not fit with your narrative. Also, how then do you explain the U.S. backed 2002 coup attempt, when Chavez was massively popular at the time? Or are you trying to claim that the U.S. does not in fact 'meddle' in Latin America?
