With a US backed president, it will most certainly become even more of a shithole. Moreover, it's hard to gage how much is actually maduro's fault and how much of it is because of US sanctions. I know, its commie cope. But theres truth to the statement. Claiming that US sanctions dont do anything is neoliberal cope. Surely, regardless of how badly its managed, the sanctions make it far worse than it needs to be. But this is the purpose of sanctions, for countries that are not economically independent, they force the population into misery and this primes them to support regime change.

I am sure whatever Fulgencio Batista/Manuel Noriega-esque utterly fucking insane lunatic we put in charge next will be worse, and then you'll have Venezuelans saying "well, you know what? That Maduro guy might have been alright". But it's all good, because Venezuela stays in the petro$ corner. This is all that matters. I could name a million other countries in history ruled by worse dictators than Maduro in both malevolence and incompetence, that America didn't give a solitary fuck about. Or that America put in charge in the first place.

Maybe the Venezuelans should have revolted themselves, if they felt so inclined to replace Maduro, rather than wait for America to do it. Rule no.1 of geopolitics: never let America do the regime change, it always ends up incomprehensibly worse.

Yeah, but I agree. It just makes things harder.

That's what they are doing with Iran now too.

See, the play is this. When they do this, the sanctions will stop, and they will allow the country to operate better. Let's say the conditions in the country were 4/10. The sanctions added -2. With the new puppet installed, even if it's 3/10, with the sanctions removed it will be 5/10. Also prepare for lots of gay sex, trannies, jewish oligarchs and more corruption. Yay Democracy and freedom.

Just to use this scale, Hitler's Germany got from a 2/10 in Weimar times into a ~9/10. The sanctions and other economic measures didn't hit as much back then as they do today, but without them it could have gone +1. At that time the US sure was 9 or 10 too.
