    That’s all true and you can find politicians saying the intentions are starving the people into causing an uprising in Venezuela (not just Cuba or Iran) - but it’s not all you need to know - the running of PVDSA has a very complex history and there were certainly elements of economic mismanagement in Maduro’s time as well as Chavez. If however countries were open to helping Venezuela with oil refining and subsidy strategy rather than destroying it to get control of their oil, there would be a different outcome.

      and the rapporteurs say all that but then state in no uncertain terms “it’s the sanctions killing people”
