Venezuela

Venezuelan migrants living in the neighborhood.
With a DECENT monthly income, you can buy a bag of 2kg of rice, 2kg of sugar and one chicken.
Children are beggars in the street. There is no money to eat, let alone for toys.
Starved children are very often punished for eating more than they should to ration food.
It is called "Maduro diet".

Leftists claim USA is oppressing Venezuela, but if you check official sources, you only are not allowed to borrow money to Venezuelan government.

Migrants say that socialists monopolized economy and attempted to distribute wealth in Cuban style, but Venezuela is way bigger than Cuba to do that.
Because of the monopoly on dollars (which is usually called "corralito") people cannot buy supplies to buy any raw materials to produce anything.
Those who can produce something are going for barter to remain supplied. Hyperinflation is brutal.

The irony is that no one seems to care about Venezuelans' starvation, only politics.

Nobody cares for the starvation in Venezuela? Then how come the government is stopping humanitarian aid from entering the country?

Nobody cares for the starvation in Venezuela? Then how come the government is stopping humanitarian aid from entering the country?

You see:
* Venezuelan government stopping aid.
* Russia supports Maduro, never tried to deliver supplies to Venezuelans.
* Media covers incidents of violence and protests, not aid delivery.
* In USA people worry about what TRUMP is doing in Venezuela. People protest against involvement. Celebrities trying to prove moral superiority in the political arena, nobody says "these people are dying, let us feed them and then we care about politics". They seem to glorify Maduro. Another Russia, Union Sovietica Americana.
