RE: Trump : Take over of Venezuela
Sorry if I have extrapolated your comments, and took some of what you said out of context, as I am sure someone as educated as you will understand that I did not do it on purpose, and that even you do it sometimes as well.
With that being said, I would just like to comment that I have never said, or feel that everything after the war is beautiful, nor do I advocate civil war... What I advocate is neither foreign intervention nor civil wars, but rather the thought that perhaps a change in the approach of the current situation might bring about a positive change.
While there are a lot of differences in our opinions, I hope we can all agree to disagree on our differing opinions. Also, at the end of the day, I do agree that in democracy, people selects its government, and as you said, if Venezuelans want to eat misery, they should be free to do so.
On the subject of media, I try to read from as large a variety of sources as possible, as I realise that the media, just like the both of us, often believe in different ideals and often seem to include their agenda to try and influence the readers. And yes, while I get most of my news source about Venezuela from international news outlets, how can you be 100% sure that what you read is all facts, and that your views are entirely based on facts and evidence? Where do you get your new source?
Once again I thank you for your recommendations, but I would like to ask what are your suggestions then, with all the fake news out there ? You seem quite confident about the facts and information you have, is there a particular news outlet you follow or are there alternative media that you would recommend?
Also, from what I have inferred, do you think that Venezuela will solve its problem best by leaving them to solve and fix their problems as they be? @blackliberal
I totally agree with you that everyone must find a solution for Venezuela's crisis, nonetheless, I would not support a foreign intervention due to the arguments that I already established. I know it is in your bests interest for the world to be a good place, and we both agree on that.
Well thinking critically and to question everything, I personally do not like any media even if they are left wing or right wing. I believe journalism today is submitted to ones owns opinions, therefore, I do deep research on everything.
As an advice you can try to read independent media - ofc they have own agenda - but it's not like they have something to get profit from saying the things they say. Or just simply dig deeper into why the things are becoming the way it is. Because there's always a deep factor that media do not cover like the one I told you about Venezuelans worldview that the media and the politicians do not cover.
What International communities have done already is enough. They have blocked the Venezuelan government assets in other countries, which is awesome.
I believe this crisis will finish in a decade, I'm still here and I'm planning to leave due to the fact that it is already impossible for me to remain here.
When I say decade I'm referring to the fact that it would be possible that from here we could have a coup d'état by the Venezuelan army. And things might change then, but we don't know if for the good or the bad. I believe things will actually change when my generation already grew up and mature comes back and builds up the country with real values and morals.
