A 1000 people in 2018. Politicians in some of those countries have called for military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. If we have troops all over the world this place is a very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and theyre dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. Im always careful when we talk about south and Central America and the cia theres a lot of stories. We are very hopeful that there could be a transition of venezuelans i was just down in mexico city and in bogota week before last talking about this very issue trying to help them understand the things they might do so that they can get a better outcome for c. N. N. Can now confirm the President Trump asked a number of his top Foreign Policy advisers last summer about the possibility of invading venezuela thank you. And now opposition needs you on one has declared himself the countrys new president have you also the president of the United States for any military support in your struggle by as a way down on the amount of us hes going to and i would in terms of taking decisions that even though this is a dictatorship the Little People want to advance with whatever pressure is needed this is no time for dialogue this is time for. Any negotiations with nicolas maduro. No. The strange thing about the coup and threat of invasion is that they didnt just come from the usa. Supporters of the right wing opposition asked for a foreign country to invade theirs. And i made the mistake of answering one of them. I told him it had happened in greece back in the days of nazi collaborators. I hadnt noticed that the person had hundreds of thousands of followers on twitter. Dozens of them offered to teach me new expressions in english and spanish. Using teaching methods from the t. V. Series norcos. Call. Each day. Key. Was when i received an interesting message. I had just been given my next mission my dear twitter friends explained that if i was a real journalist and wanted to understand venezuela i had to go to the border with colombia. They were absolutely right. Ringback ringback ringback that night i boarded a bus with dozens of venezuelans leaving the country. Just a nation the Border Crossing out in colombia. Place where the local mafia random to members of colombias civil war paramilitary groups meet operate get only. 4 breakdowns one flat tire found an attack with stones flying past my head resulted in a 19 hour journey. Plenty of time to Read International press articles on venezuelas immigrants and refugees. From reuters to the daily mirror dozens of stories repeating that the case here resembles syria and the people of myanmar. They compared an economic crisis to civil war and genocide. In the news i mostly saw people leaving the country here i could see a few returning to venezuela even within a day. The import. Those humanity even. One. At the colombian border i experienced one of the many side effects of economic collapse but i learned nothing new about what caused it. Surprisingly i found more answers in a town just 40 kilometers east of san cristobal. Hundreds of vehicles queued for hours at gas stations. This was another artificial shortage caused by private. Smugglers collaborating with local offices buying gas and other government subsidized commodities in colombia. Taking advantage of that as well as price controls contraband goods have become a lucrative business in neighboring colombia where these products can sell for prices at least 10. 00 times more it is estimated that almost 40 percent of them this will is food is illegally transported across the border. Hiding food away in storage for political and economic purposes is bad enough. Not being able to find gasoline when you have the biggest oil reserves is a real. Especially when the government provides gas almost feel free. To understand what was going on i have to return to caracas where the gasoline flows generously. As i couldnt reconcile the Oil Production in my mind i decided to walk somebody whos been. Following Venezuelas Energy policy professor Carlos Mendoza patella. A consultant on Energy Issues for the central bank of venezuela. We begin. With. The hes. Been there as well he never seen it or nah. You know again not a moment there aint dont think that he sings and it breaks your way though but i thank you all. According to International Media of venezuela failed even though its been proved to have the Worlds Biggest Oil reserves. Is that really true. In foss hes. Being. Shown these sort of the follow up with relief and i know you know. Hes. In the in the. Last year on their patrol you know. You had that. Peculiar thing. With the new. Guinea saying. For me. Doing this he called the way he said you know when to put on an island. But up and if you dont. Push one could get old. So you know. Financial for one. Thing 1st is to visit the us in this way different. To get started we have our 3 banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas a good thing. And you do all of these banks are complicit in the. Cold and so they need to do some serious Money Laundering ok lets see how we did while weve got a nice watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. Luxury automobile for max do you know what Money Laundering is highly illegal here for a watch guys record. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. The dares thinks. We dare to ask. This is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. What happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court b b b i am shocked shocked as far as i feel. We dont know still just from. The end of this trial unfortunately due to the will still love no chill just. Even without the all right ok reserves venice. Has a lot of oil. So how did it get into its current situation. Many people told me that it suffers from a strange disease. They think you see. Because its cold that dutch disease so i thought i should go to whole and. Sadly we seeded many obese countries and much worse Economic Performance much worse in a call to you much more poverty than before the end or well for the gas well for the mineral wealth so thats been cold on. Me call the dutch disease. The dutch disease is something which is taught in the sneddons was one of the main gas export you had all these guys he holding up. As a result of the gas being exported it was a lot of extra mom for the guild or for the currency that pushed up the value of the guild and the made him very strong currency but as a result of the rest of the industry than it was became less competitive more difficult to export to bowl so although we were wealthy in terms of gas industry will suffer am i to be causing on the point. Venezuela has suffered from the dutch disease since the 930 s. When oil income was converted into holidays clothes and mentions for the elite. See economies. But you are not youre not. Going to know. Enough of these orphans who. People like. We see a bank will get but if the moon. Is wouldnt kill the dutch disease. But for the 1st time an oil revenue wasnt going to the elite or to foreign multinationals. Lets look 1st of the old times and shove estoril still alive then chavez put a lot of the money over the oil the huge oil money eventually gets into helping the people of venezuela as he put it into the Education System and put it into the Health Care System alleviating poverty. Whatever bad things he can see a bunch of his death was true what have been offered. His successes. Is a different story now we do have a story about the old price was still high but more and more money went to the elites the poor people who are suffering the most incredible people you go dryads you go rest and then they got hit by the version that could have happened when its raining at any old rich country that the old price collapse. Along with the Oil Price Collapse came a financial in balgo from the usa. 40 modus even. For this purpose were going to announce sanctions against. Venezuela the name paid if they says its known by its spanish acronym the state owned oil monopoly were looking at the oil assets. Important income stream to the government of venezuela it will make a big difference to the United States economically if we could have American Oil Companies invest in oil capabilities in. That i reached the source of the absurdity in venezuela as economy. Then when i tried to exchange the dollars i had with me. As well as the official Exchange Rate for the. Black market right. From a facebook page. Things have changed they can find it on instagram. The administrator is. Going to. Maybe an opponent of the regime in the usa some say well maybe. By controlling the Exchange Rate anyone could citizens against government. 2 opposing sides have been trying to explain the crisis in venezuela. The suffering is caused by. Internal economics. And is often used as an excuse. To. Socialism is to blame. Has affected a prosperous nation. Free for all. This is not a. This is the socialist dilemma. I dont think so because actually during the period when you know the vast majority were in the private sector. They didnt come anywhere near say france which has 55. 00. P. C. Years. Even when national. Companies mainly in the oil sector the private sector grew more rapidly than the public sector. Venezuela was therefore never a socialist country. And even its greatest opponents knew it. When its Economic Growth rate was double that of the usa and poverty was down by 50 percent. International media attributed the growth to capitalism. But when the crisis struck socialism was blamed. The 2 main narratives putting the blame on sanctions or on socialism the reality i saw in venezuela was much more complex. And maybe more dull. Chavezs bolivarian revolution inherited all the structural problems that the economy had faced in the 20th century. The dutch disease the destroyed production high inflation and huge inequalities. But for the 1st time while revenues did not flow into the hands of the few and foreign oil companies. That were distributed to the people. Then under constant economic war huge mistakes were made mainly in monetary policy. When oil prices collapsed all those problems old and new came to the surface. And the rich. There was something. In the sixtys and seventys. But thats not acceptable today. George w. Bush the president of the United States government of iraq and the future of your country. Belongs to you. In the battle of iraq the United States and our allies have prevailed. What we can do and will do is support the aspirations of the libyan people. The soft side. I might perhaps the Vice President of the United States. And on behalf of President Donald Trump and all the american people. Let me express the unwavering support of the United States is you the people of venezuela raise your voices in a call for freedom. A recent attack on saudi Energy Installations was red faced many in washington and the kingdom we will tell you it was also uncle joes in ukraine a story beginning to be revealed for a very long time. They put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and you. Want to. Have to go right to be close this is what before 3 of them or cant be good. Im interested always in the waters about how. This should all. Live but if she warned you and i did the dishes at the bazemore those jeans nudist beach and you see me we believe true shes. In the news i mean that is without infringing ball. A lot of jewels as if i had 2 kids each other both. 5 days doing it so. It was 38 for people who simply do so in the old. Little. I. Think. I. Just. Being investigated over claims that gave manipulated data to the world antidoping was casting doubt over the countrys participation in next years olympics the russians fully complies with all regulations. So highly likely not sure the u. K. Follows washingtons lead saying theres a high degree of probability of around the tax Saudi Oil Facilities the british pm stressing he is ready to join a u. S. Military effort in the gulf region if needed. And u. S. Democrats say that they may try to impeach President Trump for alleged collusion with another foreign power they seem somewhat less concerned by accusations of corruption
