I don’t know if I’m going crazy but looking at the current situation in the world … please tell me that I’m overexagurating

      Well they elected a president the West doesn’t like, so yes.

        Wasn’t their current president a bus driver who rose up through politics? I had seen a mention of that in some online discussion.

        Also, that the USAmerican govt has issues with Venezuela nationalising their oil and acting as a competitor to the petro-dolla system

        So would they just be a adversary country, which may likely be conservative, rather than a dictatorial one?

          Bus drivers can be dictators as well. It’s less about the person and more about the political situation. In Venezuelas case oppression of the opposition and unfair elections
