As Venezuela Collapses, Children Are Dying of Hunger

This made me so unbelievably sad. A country that was prosperous, educated, full of natural resources, gets destroyed by a corrupt and despicable political system. There is no reason this should happen.

As Yemen Collapses, NYT Publishes Saudi Arabia Propaganda

I don't know why this is flagged, but I do see a lot of hot air about socialism in here without much pointing to evidence

That was so disheartening. Folks really need to jump off that sinking ship - emigrate - or Maduro needs to be ousted.

“The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it.”<p>The NY Times cheered for the socialist regime, but won’t admit it.

I used to think that economic collapse after the fall of Soviet communism was the worst outcome possible. Now it is apparent that crash with communism intact is much worse.

Quoting someone else: &quot;NY Times major piece on starvation in Venezuela.<p>Carefully avoids mentioning socialism. All the problems are passive voice (&quot;as the economy collapsed,&quot; &quot;as hyperinflation appeared&quot;) or exogenous (&quot;oil prices collapsed&quot;).<p>Walter Duranty lives.&quot;

Socialism ends this way every. Single. Time. “If only socialism was implemented correctly for a change!” The snowflakes chant. Ignoring history. Implementing more and more socialist programs at home. Sigh.

The NYT crying crocodile tears over dying children is a bit hard to take.<p>Looks like the USA&#x27;s determined to continue carrying out its coup after all:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;2002_Venezuelan_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;2002_Venezuelan_coup_d%27%C3%A...</a>
