LAJAS BLANCAS, Panama (AP) — Venezuelans trekking across the Darien Gap – a rugged jungle passage between Colombia and Panama – say they’re making the perilous journey because they lost hope for change after a contentious presidential election handed victory to President Nicolás Maduro despite vote tallies released by the opposition showing that his competitor won by a landslide.
“We stayed waiting for the election (results) because if Maduro left (power) then we would stay. But nothing happened,” said Enrique Dordis, 46, a former cab driver from the central state of Carabobo, who left Venezuela last week with his wife, an 8-year-old son, Emanuel, and four other family members.

Yes, empire will continue to attack and impoverish any nation that refuses to install its puppet.
Oh bullshit. Venezuela has so much goddamn oil they don't even need the USA. Hell, they are a founding member of OPEC. Poor governance and over the top corruption has ruined their economy. They produced millions of barrels of oil under Chavez. Maduro is just a fucker.
You mean to tell me Maduro is a long term CIA plant? Of course, it's all so obvious now
