The post is more about how Venezuela has broken all the rules that the Economic Hitmen in charge of the world have set in place for Countries that want a successful relationship with the West, Leaving the IMF and starting your own lending association, a huge no. That alone will get a lot of Countries in trouble, competing against the Big Oil Companies and offering better terms like the Petro Caribe Union, Venezuela has publicly dropped the U.S. dollar in oil trades, creating a union of Countries in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America cutting out the big Corporations and banking institution's and trying to create an independent South, that is why the U.S. has sanctioned and destabilized Venezuela and has threatened them militarily,it has nothing to do with Socialism or bringing Democracy to the people as the Yes. Government would have you believe.
