    But but but the west loves the free market and all that…

    These wankies only care about “free market” when they’re on the top exploiting.

    As soon as a strong competitor appears, the market is cornered, blackmailed, forcefully sold off to friends/families, or simply sanctioned or embargoed along with countries who are willing to do business with them.

      I strongly oppose any US intervention in Venezuela, but the notion their civil society is equivalent to Norway other than superficial observation that both are oil-rich is absurd.
