It’s true of course that Venezuela’s economic recovery is in the interest of its creditors, but isn’t it also in the interests of the (literally starving) Venezuelan poor? Also, what military power has the US used so far? There are guns on the streets of Caracas, but not US guns
Get back to me when people suddenly miraculously start giving a shit about the 'literally starving' people in South Sudan or the CAR.

Compare and contrast: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=from%3A%40bobfrombrockley%20sudan&src=typd … https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=from%3A%40graceblakeley%20sudan&src=typd … If talking about Sudan is a criteria for having an opinion on Venezuela, the UK left wouldn't have much to say I'm afraid.

It was you that started using Venezuela to make adolescent points about imperialism* so don't complain about people referencing Venezuela in their replies. Not Chinese or Russian imperialism of course.
