Venezuela erupted Monday in a fifth day of violent protests against President Nicolas Maduro as the United States voiced "grave concern" over moves to stifle one of his main opponents.

In the latest clashes in the once-booming oil exporter, riot police in Caracas fired tear gas at stone-throwing demonstrators -- whose leaders vowed not to let up the pressure on Maduro.





quote:

Speaking at a meeting with allied leftist leaders in Cuba, Maduro repeated his claim that his old foe the United States was to blame for the crisis.

"The order has been given from Washington that there must be no dialogue in Venezuela, to make our country explode and give way for a foreign intervention," he said in a public address.






How in the hell is this our fault? We're about the only ones that buys their shitty oil because it's so hard to refine.

And even with that they're still about to lose their oil company to the Russians.

Oh wait ... we're in bed with the Russians ... now I see how we're to blame ...

Maduro was scaring people about the US before he took office. Chavez did the same thing. The only alternative is taking the blame themselves.

Latin American leftists live to blame the United States for all of their domestic problems. I'm no fan of our meddling in the region, but the forced redistribution of wealth in those countries doesn't do anything for the poor. It only results in a new political class getting rich off political tyranny.

I wonder if Bernie made the trip down to do some 'anti-yankee' protesting...
