How did the USA interfering in the Middle East cause Chavez to appropriate all the successful businesses, and force their oil company to become unprofitable?
Come on man: US aids terrorists who took over oil fiends & sell very cheap oil, oil prices plummet globally, Venezuela's income is greatly from oil, so their income goes down also.
That is untrue. OPEC decided to increase supply after artificially raising prices by a lowered supply for years. This ruined the profitability of Venezuela's main export.
