RE: The Ongoing Crisis in Venezuela and the "Petro Coin"
What I do not understand is the benefit of sanctions. They only hurt the people, never a corrupt government. At best they can create civil unrest. But it's the innocent who suffer, never the guilty.
When was the last time a corrupt politician caved in to sanctions? Never. All that will be accomplished is to impoverish and starve the population. So, sanctions are a "good" move because they hurt the population even more? That is just bizarre...
Oh so true. Sanctions never hurt the corrupt government, just the citizens. Which is why we feel that no government should be able to stop it's citizens from trading with any person. If you reside in a country which the US has put trading sanctions on, that should just apply on a government level. If you as a person have goods we would like to buy then we should be able to trade. (In a just and equal world I know, keep dreaming ;-) It is like two families fighting telling their children they can no longer be friends. Just because you have some kind of issue with them does not mean I do nor should we miss out due to someone elses psuedo irreperable differences that they force on a population of people as a whole rather than handling this like....adults. This seems like another cunning ploy (order out of chaos) by the elite and when you sit back and think about how they have such wantonly destructive behavior, who is to say that this is not being used as a major distraction to weaken the people of this nation whilst and even deeper agenda is carried out behind the scenes? Two of the most effective tactics ever used in the history of warfare is to cut off the enemies 1: Communication 2: Food/Water Supply but that is just speculative food for thought.
I think you hit the nail on the head. If you look at history, it always hits the people only.
It is a strategy to reduce and control the population and transfer their wealth. No matter what war you look at, only the people suffered while the one on the top are best friends. We are nothing but slaves. Moronic "human resources".
I just did some research on the US sanctions against Venezuela, it seems they will now also sanction the Petro Crypto currency created by the Venezuelan Government in some way.
President Trump signed and executive order about this. The order bans “all transactions related to, provision of financing for, and other dealings in, by a United States person or within the United States, any digital currency, digital coin, or digital token,” issued by Venezuela's government
