I guess buying 800,000 barrels of oil per day constitutes economic warfare against a country. Interesting.
Yeah and NASA gets its rockets from Russia and the NE nuclear plants buy uranium from Russia. We bought Venezuelan oil out of necessity and mutual benefit. It’s heavy oil, Venezuela doesn’t have refining facilities for heavy oil, and few countries do.
So the fact that we buy oil from Venezuela is both false and true? Are you tied up in your own 1950s style phone cord, or drunk?
An excerpt from the following article which debunks the false arguments being continually spread by US government via corrupt media. Follow Link to the article for complete debunking of false narratives. Debunking Four Mistruths About Venezuela’s Humanitarian Aid Showdown 2. Is the Maduro government really blocking international humanitarian assistance? Another of the great mistruths circulating in international media is that the Bolivarian government is blocking all international efforts to supply vital food and medicine, while The Guardian claims, “Hungry Venezuelans living nearby are wondering when they will next eat.” The truth, rather, is that Caracas has requested and is currently receiving international humanitarian assistance, especially from multilateral bodies like the International Red Cross (IRC), the United Nations (UN) and regional healthcare organisations. The government has only blocked what these same humanitarian bodies have criticized as “politicised” aid coming from the US State Department’s notorious USAID branch, which looks to instrumentalize aid as a tool of regime change. Only 48 hours before the February 23 border showdown, Maduro announced that his government is coordinating US $2 billion worth of “technical” humanitarian assistance with the UN and the EU-led International Contact Group. This is close to 20 times what the US and its allies have pledged to Venezuela. While the Contact Group is yet to issue a formal comment, astatement from the EU some days later confirmed that the body has provided more than €60 million in 2018 and 2019 in international assistance to the country through official government channels. As part of this aid, it was reported that Venezuelan authorities supplied the UN/EU with a list of medicines which they have been unable to purchase in the international market largely as a result of US-led financial sanctions. They are requesting international assistance in purchasing these goods, offering to pay for them in full. Speaking to a host of followers at the end of a rally in Caracas Saturday, Maduro committed his government to buying all food products which Brazil is willing to sell to them, and announced that a 7.5 tonne shipment of medicines from Russia arrived in the Caribbean nation over the weekend in coordination with the Pan-American Health Organisation. The corporate mainstream media has conveniently ignored the pointed criticisms voiced by the UN, IRC, and over 70 Venezuelan and international humanitarian organizations over Washington’s “politicization” of aid efforts. Nor have international outlets reported that both the UN and IRC have recently announced that they will be increasing long-existing aid initiatives in the country in coordination with the Maduro administration.

" 3*1*19~WORLD WITNESSING DC's EPIC DEFEAT(!)MOVING IN FOR THE FINAL BLOW(!)" Who is this person? It's just a voice... "It wasn't solely food." "Apparently, sources close to the meeting held in the Colombian capital..." So that's it? That's the proof? His snarkiness is ridiculous in his attempt to contrast stopping illegal aliens at the border versus allowing Venezuelans coming over. He mentions the Rothchild's from a century ago. Wow. He is so smart.

So posting a pic of a plate of hamburger helper means there’s not a problem in Venezuela ...... oh never mind. SMH!
If you honestly think US involvement has anything at all to do with the welfare of the people down there, hunger, freedom, democracy, etc., than you are incredibly gullible.
Maybe we should follow the Russian model of charity. Or, we could take Venezuela's oil after installing the leader we want, like we did in Iraq...……….oh wait.....
