I don't know what hurt the Venezuelan's more, Maduro's brand of socialism or the U.S. economic war against it.
I do know that this intervention will make things worse for them, a lot worse.
Discussion
Will it?
Right now, based on the viewpoints of Venezuelans I personally know, this doesn’t seem to be the current perception. I concede that this may not always be the case.
This is an unconventional way to do things, may this actually bring unconventional results?
Is it still too early to pass judgement?
Libya and Syria are the precedents I keep in mind. Let's wait and see, I hope I'm wrong.
Although I somewhat agree.
There may be power vacuums left in country’s where dictators have been removed. But it is also the process of the how , and also the cultural rifts within those societies.
Within Syria, the whole process was a long protracted one and regime itself did not do itself or its people any favours, snd literally killed millions of its own people trying to hold on to power. The societal rifts within that society were also deeply religious and cultural.
Libya, for the most part very similar.
The reality was within those two countries the status quo , was not desirable from any side’s perspective.
It’s true, one could look at both these examples and cast judgement. Were they perfect , no I grant that.
Yes, from one perspective it is the corrupt over throwing the corrupt, but power corrupts.
