I give him 6 weeks now - anyone taking bets?

This is what invaders do....they destabilize you and then try to install their puppets...they pretend its democracy and freedom but it is an invasion...

Very observant.

in my experience, life after the dictator, under the western puppet, is much much worse than living under the dictator that the west created in the first place...people long for the good times they had under dictators, no matter how shit those good times were, because when the invaders come, their puppets get a free pass to fuck anybody in any way possible and stuff gets even worse...

saddam/ghadaffi/milosevic etc were better than the puppets that are now in power...they lived much much better under the dictator than under "Democracy"...

Well, if your experience is Serbia I guess I can see that. I only know from Djokovic's book about his childhood, which I'm sure is not representative. Yes it was true of Iraq as well. South Korea and Kuwait are much better off, and Afghanistan is 50-50. So a mixed record. I think Venezuela will do well though.

Meanwhile... They have no power.

I feel so sorry for those people.

What kind of power do you have Rochard?

He is backed up by Chuck Norris :thumbsup

here is what will happen:

the moment the puppet becomes president is the moment anything done in venezuela will be for the sole purpose of enriching US gov cronies...for example kosovo: gen wesley clark has billions in minerals, the clintons own telecom etc...kosovo is losing 5% of its population each year LOL...in the short term, the venezuelans will get a bit back of what US foreign policy robbed them of, but they will never ever recover to the standard the had before...everything possible will be done to enrich cronies, domestic and foreign...it is the sole point of the invasion...the people of venezuela can literally roll over and die and the USA would not care...because it is the USA who put them in dire straits in the first place and then the USA sends "aid" after 20 years of fucking them :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

as for us invasions:

korea is not better off...north korea is a nuclear/bacteria twilight zone thanks to us pressure...
iraq is a mess
avghanistan is waaaay worse off than before...
ex yugo, barring slovenia, is worse off...djokovic is not representative...we were not rich but we lived just fine...now we are in shit...everybody...separatist magic beans did not work :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You're right about that it does take years to overcome but what happens otherwise, a dictator stays in power?

look theres 2 choices:

1) you get fucked by a local
2) you get fucked by invaders

option #1 is 1000x more attractive...I feel sorry for the people of venezuela because they will find out what we found out: the west is not your friend...there is no "overcome" the west is there to take not to give...so are the new puppets...kleptocracy is what they will get and some "aid" from their oppressors to temporarily lighten the dire situation the oppressors put them in in the first place...

the strong leaders who resisted the west are gone :(...no matter how bad they were, they will always be better than anything the west will do...the scam of conventional warfare is about to expire tho...hope is right around the corner...
