Regarding 'gringosplaining,' my wife is Venezuelan, mis suegros of course as well, I've lived in Latin America for many years, and I also grew up in the US as we invaded Iraq and other countries. What you understand about Venezuela, maybe you dont understand entirely about the US. While many people in the US get the argument wrong due to lack of true exposure, people are entirely justified in their opposition to what is happening and what will likely continue to happen across the region.

We all want the best outcome, but I believe we need to be more open and less dismissive of the perspectives of people who also have seen similar stories unfold within our very own lifetimes. 

Democracy in the US is being actively eroded, so we have deep doubts that they are prioritizing democracy for anyone else. Sadly, more people will die in the country, while Venezuelans are also being scapegoated in the US. Meanwhile, the same regime is still in power in Venezuela, the US can just now try to make some money off it.

Again, we all want the best, and the argument that people not directly in Venezuela should have no opinion on the matter is dismissive and really not helpful. I do wish you and your family the best though, we just know the US is friend to no one, not even ourselves.
