   @mpjgregoire It doesn't take 60 minutes.
   It's simpler than that.
   You move against the corporate business of the USA.
   They shut you out.
   You and your people suffer, until you bend back and suffer in the 'right way'.
   Of course maduro is not the better chavez, but the misery of venzuela is the making of the usa.
   100%.
   Do I need to even remind you about the repeated attempts at assassinations by the usa? They are playing for money.
   Venezuela is sitting on the most proven oil reserves in the world and the poverty and suffering is laying entirely on the doorstep of the usa.
