Brainlet opinion. Besides Venezula is not about even about socialism/capitalism as much as it is about nationalism/imperialism. I mean larping as socialist, while in designated mutt imperial sphere and having the largest oil reserves int he world...it's a miracle they are still standing strong.

The US supported them as allies against the Vietnamese
Kissinger: "You should also tell the Cambodians that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs, but we won't let that stand in our way. We are prepared to improve relations with them."
