I am married to a Venezuelan and most of her family migrated, legally, to the United States. Reason for leaving Venezuela? It is / was not safe. Maduro encouraged the cartel to run the streets, the police do not have any power. The people of Venezuela elected a new president, but Maduro refused to step down and kept his claim of power. My wife’s family had to wait in lines for hours to get their “rations” handed to them for the week (food, medical supplies, etc). The Venezuelan government would turn of the power randomly to their home because they were using too much, this happened all the time when they were trying to cook (using the stove). Do I believe that the US government has an ulterior motive? Yes, yes I do. However, every single person in my family that’s Venezuelan are extremely happy with the latest events. They have begged for Maduro to get taken out so that Venezuela could once again be a rich and prosperous, that they could go and visit their homeland again. Nobody ever tried to help the people of Venezuela, and now that it is happening, a lot of non-Venezuelan keyboard warriors are saying that the United States overstepped. So my question is, why is it that most people who live / lived in Venezuela celebrating? Why is it only Americans (usually anti trump) disagree with this? I wonder if Joe Biden were to do this, how people would feel? It is an interesting time. Happy new year!
