We live in the age of information.

Nationalism is better than imperialism.

You can call him a dictator and although he was elected with a majority vote I would mostly agree.

A popular dictator is still a dictator.

But an independent dictator that's popular with their citizens is obviously also better than a puppet dictator.

The USA backed opposition failed to do a coup because of how many armed civilians came out ready to fight off an American invasion.

Their civilian population has been heavily armed for years, but Maduro started giving away rifiles to anyone 6 months ago anticipating an invasion.

They have the largest stockpile of gold in South America, and they've been using Bitcoin to get past american sanctions for the past couple years.

Bitcoin and gold are the biggest threat to the banking cartels and their fiat currency.

Bombing the oil wells, refineries, and ports was about preventing Venezuela from selling oil outside of the fiat currency system.

They found the answer to solve their problems and USA attacked them for it.

Just like Iraq, Libya, Syria.

Basher and Saddam were also dictators.

Are their people any better off now?

Libya was a democracy, now it's an open air slave market full of terrorists.
