You’re blaming the government of Venezuela for the conditions your regime is directly responsible for. I’m simply addressing the misinformation in your comment.
The crisis - both political and economic - started several years before the US even started imposing sanctions on Venezuela, and even then it was just on certain officials. Maduro and friends are just trying to fool you. His crappy economic policies and political repression brought Venezuela to where it is. That’s why you see naturalized Venezuelans in the US often voting for Republicans. They are reacting to the mismanagement under Maduro.
I’m curious, are you genuinely ignorant of what US has been doing in Venezuela long before Maudro?
Here’s a little primer you might want to read. Then go read the book I linked in the previous comment and learn at least a smidgen of history of what your regime has been up to, and how it translates into the horrors people of Latin America experience today.
That’s not relevant to the current migrant crisis. And as I’ve stated, even though the US bears little responsibility for the current situation, it should welcome Venezuelan refugees as a humanitarian principle. It’s not their fault that their president is a shitty military-backed dictator.
The fact that Maduro can’t get above a 15% approval rating when he controls the entire government and media in the country is much more relevant to the present situation than past actions by the US. Maduro can only rely so much on the big bad US as a scapegoat for his own failings.
Meanwhile, it’s pretty weird how the Economist fails to mention the fact that UK literally stole Venezuela’s gold reserves that were in British banks after they didn’t like the outcome of the election. That’s the rules based world order you support in action right there. But you keep on pretending it’s all Maduro’s failings because engaging with reality is evidently uncomfortable for you.
That poll should not be viewed as a measure of Maduro’s popularity. It instead shows that the opposition is in disarray and the population has little faith in their ability to carry out policy goals. Given that political repression is rife under Maduro, that is hardly surprising. As for polling on specific policies, what of it? I’ve frequently seen it be the case in the US that a policy is popular or unpopular separate from a given politician who backs it. None of this
If we instead look at polls that directly ask about his approval rating, it’s clear that most Venezuelans would have preferred that he stuck to driving buses rather than driving their country into the ground.
Wow. I’m condemning the actions of my own government and this is your reaction? Are you capable of not being caustic?

Edit: Part of why I hate Maduro: https://www.economist.com/the-americas/six-ways-nicolas-maduro-stays-in-power-in-venezuela/21806197
The fact that US has been destabilizing the region is in fact very much relevant. Once you read up on the subject you’ll understand why.
Meanwhile, if you get your views on Venezuela from the economist, that explains a lot.
The fact that Maduro can’t get above a 15% approval rating when he controls the entire government and media in the country is much more relevant to the present situation than past actions by the US. Maduro can only rely so much on the big bad US as a scapegoat for his own failings.
The Economist is a literal propaganda paper of UK oligarchs. It provides no actual source for its claims, and it relies on people simply accepting such statements because they fit with their preconceptions. https://www.sott.net/article/331691-Dont-believe-the-propaganda-Venezuelans-support-for-Maduro-increasing
