government alone, yes, decades, i can say that, but is current presiden *cough*dictator*cough* that really messed up everything really bad. Venezuela had a very good and strong relationship with the US and other countries in the world. Now this guy is messing it up for people inside, creating socail hatred among citizens, and giving us a bad name to the rest of the world, bascially by being buddy buddy with Castro and terrorists in other countries.
Venezuela actually is the strongest supplier of oil to the US, i dont recall the percentage, but it is a big one, remember 4 years ago, in december when gas prices started rocketing? What most people dont know is taht in those months Venezuelan opositors to the government decided to go on a strike, and stopped all the refineries and machines used to extract the oil and proccess it, also the ways to ship it. Of course war overseas affected the sudden rise, but that wasnt entirely it.
Anyways, i hope and pray to you people that please dont base your decision on someone (such as myself) considering only where he or she is from, venezuelans and most latin americans are really friendly, outgoing and funny people, most americans believe it or not didnt even know or dont even know where venezuela is located (i have met them people

) it only takes a bad president and bad politics to put you on the map and tag you.
Thats it, this should be moved to a political thread hehe
