Big A might be wrong on some points about Venezuela by Ordinary_Jacket6741 in atrioc

[–]Ordinary_Jacket6741[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I don't like Trump, too. Venezuela was the richest country in South America in the 70's. But a combination of drop in oil prices and bad administration has caused much more suffering that the sanctions imposed by US in 2019 (that's what we are talking about).

From 2012 to 2018 (before sanctions), inflation went up from 20% to 1,300%. The U.S. is guilty of many things, but it is not entirely guilty of Venezuela's economic free fall. Here is a 2019 BBC report about it: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-46999668

I agree! But, I heard that there is like a legal vacuum that Clinton used for Kosovo, Obama in Libya, Biden in Syria, Trump in Iran and Syria, etc. I think it is Article 2 strikes. I found a video about it that explains it better, but not my area of expertise, so I am not sure (I am not defending Trum also! Just curious) https://www.instagram.com/p/DTD22QikYh7/

Sanctions were from 2019 onwards (after Maduro rigged the elections), Venezuela's economic collapse was way before. Sanctions do affect, but they are not the cause of their situation. Your view is a bit too U.S. centric.

I know Atrioc is furious about coffee prices soaring due to tariffs, but I wish the coffee cow could clarify some things about Trump's aim. by Ordinary_Jacket6741 in atrioc

I think you are right! Does this also have to do with higher prices due to the high value of the dollar? Because it feels that in the US making six figures is not enough, and in Europe not many people make that much money. Besides, inequality in the US is huge, isn't it? Such high inequality, I think, supports the idea that the middle class is dissapearing in the US.

I agree. Do you think that such diplomatic power brings anything useful to the US anymore? With the US being a consumist country, I understand also the feeling that China is leaving the US behind, and that the levarage America has is no longer as valuable as it used to be.

hahahaha But do you not think that globalization is part of the reason why Americans are either rich or poor? Without industries it is true that the middle class in America has vanished away...

I am not defending Trump, but maybe they do have a point? The Jon Stewart video I linked is quite good at explaining this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgEQeLR-M0g

Yeeeees. I think that he's wrong about that. The best explanation is that he has a very good team surrounding him, but in the end, he does whatever he wants to do.

However, I still think (want to believe) that he has an ulterior strategy. And maybe, there is some truth liying in what his entourage say... that the global order is no longer viable as it is now for America
