    Of course, there's a rational solution, and the only solution. Overthrow the corrupt, socialist regime that's destroyed Venezuela's freedom and prosperity -- nothing can be improved as long as these thieves and idiots are in control.

    Which one is in the lead in the whacko stakes, North Korea, Venezuela or the US of A? The leaders all seem to be cast in dissimilar but extreme barmy moulds...

    Maduro needs to jump before he's pushed, and more importantly before he destroys his country even more, but if the dead protesters don't bother him, and he didn't listen to Mercosur or the OAS or the UN, who is he going to listen to? He even attacked Uruguay which was one of the few countries still supporting him.
