RE: Trump : Take over of Venezuela
I'm a Venezuelan.
I do not support foreign interventions. There's something stablished in the UN charter called right to self-determination. Meaning that every country has its own sovereignty, its own culture, and its own government.
Whether we like it or not, Venezuelans elected Chavez and that lead to Maduro. Hence, there are people who still support Maduro. Foreign intervention has always lead to civil wars, it's the same story all over again. What makes you think that this time would be different?
Our problem has nothing to do with US's problems. We elected this government, therefore Venezuelans are the ones that must solve them.
wouldn't you agree that certain conflicts are necessary for change to occur?
Not really everyone should go through its own problems and solve them. The US has had its own problems in the past and they have managed to solve them without any foreign intervention, why would Venezuelans need one? Did we intervene the US when you were lynching black people just because of their color? No. Then, why would you believe that a fail policy would be effective after causing harm and pain in a whole region?
I respect your desire for sovereignty, but with all due respect it has been failing. I am not a US citizen, neither a Venezuelan, and while I can never fully understand your point of view, I think you have to FACE THE FACT that you guys have failed in restoring your country, and its hard to say when you guys ever will.
Yes, your problems have nothing to with US's problems, but if Venezuelans are UNABLE to solve the problem, don't you think accepting foreign intervention is the way to go? There seems to be no progress with the situation since 2012.
Civil war has not always cause pain and harm. For example, just 200 years ago black Americans were slaves, without human rights. People advocated change, civil war started, many lives were lost, but wouldn't you argue that these sacrifice has lead to more peace and stability in the region? Blacks now have the human rights they deserve, as opposed to those in the past.
I think while its an ideal to achieve, Venezuelan could be much better off with a foreign aide, instead of pulling itself into a deeper problem.
While foreign intervention might not be successful, i think that doing the same and not changing anything is a even worse solution.
I would also apologise in advance if I offended you in anyway, as it is not my intention. My intention is to inspire discussion and hopefully spread some awareness, all I wish is for the safety and prosperity for everyone in the world ( Impossible ideal). Nevertheless, while we can discuss a lot, the fate of Venezuela ultimately still lies in the hands of Venezuelans, and I am sure you feel more strongly about this topic than anyone else.
I apologise once again if I have offended you, and I sincerely hope that Venezuela be restored and prosperity is brought for its people!!! @blackliberal . Thank you for sharing the views of the locals.
You have not offended me, and don't worry its all good.
I understand your concerned about this topic, and that you want the best for Venezuelans. Nonetheless, Interventions have proven to be a failure.
I recommend you to watch those videos. They are very informative about the US and Europe foreign policy.
Thank you Sir, I will definitely look at them, I love informative video. Thank you for your kind understanding, and I am sure we will have a chance to interact again in the near future!!
