Colombia’s Plan to Welcome Millions of Venezuelan Migrants

I don't know. I mean, the US should not be exploiting Latin America and some of this has occurred and there events like Pinoche that are pretty shameful.

At the same time, allowing an inept criminal syndicate friendly with the Russians to starve millions of people some hundreds of miles off the shores of the US is hardly a good idea either.

I'm generally against intervention but hopefully the Maduro regime is taken down somehow. This is hardly a fringe position either, most of South America and Europe has adopted the same position.

If anything I feel the US should be more involved there and less involved in the Ukraine and Syria.

Russia is just re-emerging on the international scene. However, the crisis in Venezuela (VZ) didn't start last week or with Maduro. And Russia/China were still sleeping then.

So, fine ... Russia may be doing something there now. I don't know. But let's not be amnesic and remember that this situation persists since decades.

Russia isn't just re-emerging on the international scene, they have been active for quite some time, in and with Venezuela as well.

But you said it was "first you heard of that" or similar?

This "situation" is becoming worse. Hopefully it resolves soon.
