Hi from Venezuela


Ah yes, also curiously enough the US is way more prone to completely embargo Cuba and Venezuela but neither Russia nor China. (Due to political-economic reasons and not moral/ethical ones)

Edit: profile I am replying to has the following in their about section: "about: I play music and I code videogames. I live in Brighton, UK." so assuming the "hi from venezuela" was sarcastic.


I lived there 29 years of my life, I lived the dictatorship, and I still got family and friends. Far from sarcastic.


I'm currently living the dictatorship in Venezuela. Ask me if you think Ciro's opinion is not valid, for whatever reason. (Don't know him btw. Epale Ciro!)


¿Crees que solo hay dictaduras bajo gobiernos anti-capitalistas o es algo en donde por ejemplo Qatar (o Reino Unido) siendo monarquías constitucionales podrían superar en autoritarismo?


Ah yes, compared to the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom.


> (Due to political-economic reasons and not moral/ethical ones)

Has there ever been a lasting trade embargo that was based solely on moral and ethical grounds?
