This is why an adversarial world political situation is beneficial for normal citizens. Governments only care about this stuff when they can make others look bad. Venezuela is currently adversarial towards the USA on most fronts because they go against the grain of American neo-liberal imperialism.
I don't really care. But why not play them against each other if it means we as citizens get to hear more about the terrible things our countries are doing. Venezuelans certainly get plenty of American propaganda. Let the Americans hear the Venezuelan propaganda. It's all BS in the end but it leads to more transparency in much the same way adversarial governments are designed to work.
- rafaelm 13y agoLet's see how long it lasts. Venezuela needs the US to survive. Our economy is in very bad shape right now, constant shortages of basics (certain foods, toilet paper,etc.) and we import pretty much everything we consume. A lot of it comes from the US. Not to mention that the US buys most of our oil.
