That's the primary reason the US, Russia and China's respective government leaders, their .01% plus many other of the world's .01% - and their financial backers - want greater control there.

Venezuela's problems began in the 1990s and have consistently gotten worse and worse due to mismanagement by the govt. The country has been on the way to collapsing all this time.

Of course, no mention that Maduro is merely echoing what even his critics who look at the numbers have figured out.
The problem is NOT the fault of the policies that made Venezuela the fastest growing economy in the region before the US got tired of the Venezuelan population voting in real leftists (not the pseudoliberals who are ok with the 10% becoming the 1% (and quickly the .1%) as long as the ever growing working poor can dress however they like) and went full crime boss on the Venezuelan people.

Cuba has vast shortages, always.
China is keeping a tab/loans. They will demand to be paid.
Folks know that mismanagement has Caracas buying lite oil from other countries to mix with their dark oil, correct? They still have some lite-oil, but production has dropped due to govt mismanagement of that resource over the last 20 yrs.
