I admit my bias, almost all of the local gasoline comes from Venezuela and i would appreciate it being available if I have to leave because of something nasty coming in from the Gulf.
Chavez is not a nice person, but they are helping him stay in power with this stupidity, the same way they helped Castro stay in power long after his “use by” date. For many historical reasons the US is not popular, nor trusted in Central and South America.
