    2? At least 6. EDIT: I take this back, I misread/read too lazily. It was 2 centuries, not decades.

    I've been reading Open Veins so I pause at claiming the US was out-terrorizing Spain in the Americas, and British Empire deserve credit for their atrocities as well though it's easy to argue USA is the continuation of that.

    at some later date, when the united states is barely a regional power, the venezuelans will forget why there was any animus in the first place and i don't know how to feel about that.

    She's the US's puppet. That's why the US is not eager for elections there. They already have installed their leader.

    Same thing the CIA and the US has done countless times around the world.

    There's a whole damn huge wiki on it.

    Even if she's not a puppet certainly she feels threatened by Trump's actions against previous Venezuelan president.

    The news article make it sound like a progressive leader who came up with a genuine idea not a hostage with a gun pointed to her head.

    I will be tickled if US companies are lured in to rebuild infrastructure just to get it all nationalised.
