Venezuela is one of the world’s most important countries in terms of oil and gold resources. In fact, it ranks first in the world, even before Saudi Arabia.
Its oil facilities are idle. Its production capacity is very low in terms of volume. Instead of earning income from oil, it survives on drug trafficking. Trump repeatedly ordered the bombing and sinking of ships carrying drugs from this country.
It has the highest inflation rate in the world. While it should be rich and its people should live in prosperity, it is a country where people cannot find bread and are forced to leave the country. Approximately 8 million people have been forced to leave the country both out of fear of Maduro and because of the economy.
Maduro, despite losing the elections, came back to power through fraud. He silenced his opponents and eliminated those he couldn’t silence. He was a leader who deliberately impoverished his people and drew closer to China because of threats from the US. But he was also short-sighted enough to not realize that China, thousands of kilometers away, couldn’t protect him.
The USA has now taken control of Venezuela’s government. Trump is a leader who thinks about the interests of the USA; he may be crazy, but he’s not stupid. Does the USA have interests? Of course it does. It’s been revealed that 95% of the drugs entering the USA come through this country. The other 95% comes from Colombia.
The leader of a country with one of the world’s worst economies, despite having the world’s richest oil and underground resources, shouldn’t have remained in that country. Thanks to Trump, he didn’t.
