    Look, the US is bad, no doubt about it, but Maduro is a dictator who keeps his country fucked up. Don’t blame it on the US, he is responsible for getting the sanctions and keeping the sanctions. Those sanctions aren’t just by the US, many countries adhere them because Maduro is a dangerous asshole.

      The sanctions were in place before him, and they will remain in place as long as he doesn’t do anything America says. If the Venezuelan regime was a good little lapdog with a right wing fascist who sold his nation’s resources for pennies to American corporations instead of a red fascist the embargoes wouldn’t exist and everyone being honest can admit that.
