All they do is talk, nothing will change, I think they like hearing their own voices. Alltogether now
Nov 11th, 2014 - 09:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Kumbaya, Kumbaya
Zimbabwe inflation, armed militants attacking the small middle class that still exists. A socialist dream. Michael Moore, Sean Penn and Bono have accomplished their mission. What's left to talk about? The government invades appliance stores, kills the opposition and throws lawmakers out of congress.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Too little. Too late.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 12:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The socialists refuse to listen to anyone else and simply want total control of the country. They want no dissent and absolute power. UNASUR will be waiting at that open door for a while.
Venezuela doesn't need a quote “a major social agreement to adjust its economy and overcome the current and persistent political conflicts in the country”
Nov 11th, 2014 - 01:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It needs Chavismo to go. They are a Statetist ellite. They are not going to give anyone power in fact they are already at war with each other.
The Colombo- Venezuelan border is one of the most smuggled in the world http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1739791-frontera-caliente-entre-venezuela-y-colombia-paraiso-del-contrabando
I guess that in other words, Brazil (UNASUR's boss) throwing money at Vzla to keep things going on a minimum ?? I dont see how else they can “help”.
There are no easy answers. Currently Venezuela is doomed. Too many of the underclass still believe in the lies and myths of the 'revolution'. The deification of Chavez has gone from ludicrous to frightening. Prayers are said to him, people have tattoos of him and the quite frankly disturbing 'eyes' graffiti is government sponsored.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The State Elite are getting filthy and illegally rich on the back of the ones they keep indoctrinated and impoverished.
I really can't see any light at the moment. My only advice to Venezuelans is to get out if you can. If you can't. Then at least try to get out of the main cities.
That is why Argentina has somewhat of a chance in the mid term unlike Venezuela. There is no Massa or Macri that can come along and Maduro clearly won by massive fraud last year.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 02:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My concern is what do you do with the K Statist ellite structure that runs the country once any of them climb to power, or either you replace them or they shift to your banners, hence the corruption and bureaucracy and their web of contacts remains in control.
Does this mean more money for the MAD urine drinker to salt away? Or does he have to use some of it printing leaflets to tell Venezuelans how lucky they are? Nah. What can they do? Hint of dissent and toilet paper will become unavailable again.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 04:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is true that the opposition in Veneuela is struggling, in disarray or imprisoned. Lopez is their only main chance and Maduro is keeping him locked up. I have a lot of hope in MCN (Marina) but that is all, hope.

9.
Nov 11th, 2014 - 06:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nothing much that I know about. But it can start as a spontaneous thing and then it goes getting more and more rioters. If they start early after work sort of 7.30 pm and make national headlines they have a chance of making themselves notice
