Yeah, I have a friend who lives in Venezuela, he and his family can barely afford to eat, and I mean barely. Beans everyday and nothing else for years. I tried to send him some computer parts and it was going to be over 5 grand to send them, so I couldn't afford that, but his pc was genuinely very low end 5 years ago and I know he hasn't been able to upgrade, especially with all the money going to his 9 other family members living in the 1 bedroom apartment.
But whatever lies you have to tell yourself to sleep at night buddy.
So what you're saying is, it's Venezuela's fault for being sanctioned and embargoed? Is it Cuba's fault? Was it Vietnam's fault for being attacked by the US? Is it a slave's fault for revolting when the slaver whips them back down?
We are talking about a modern dictator and the state of Venezuela today. Get your head out yo ass.
We're talking about imperial violence and the poverty it causes. Stop being a defensive child and answer the question. When a colony throws off it's chains, whose fault is it when the colonizer retaliates?

If you want to get banned just start insulting people like the op.
additionally feel free to let your fashy friends know that I'm on payroll for both Putin AND Xi for my sfw online posting activities. I also collect checks from George Soros for in-person work that upsets conservatives.
it's important to have multiple income streams 💅
The insatiable fascist urge to make lists of leftists
Eric Blair's favorite passtime continues
That's great, but now that you're here go ahead and answer the question. When a colonized country throws off it's chains, whose fault is it when the colonizer retaliates?
