    Seems DW completely ignored the fact that Venezuela economy was screwed before any major sanctions hit it. The way the oil company was run meant the Maduro government sucked every dollar possible from it and it's infrastructure was beginning to fall apart. All based on the wrong idea that oil prices would grow endlessly. Zero savings, borrowing even when the oil company still worked and the oil prices were at record high numbers.
    So when oil prices fell Venezuela was practically bankrupt, massive overspending, oil company production dropping due to badly maintained equipment, oil spills and lack of spares, debt and unmanageable expenditure. All tied up together with serious corruption and inefficiency. The American sanctions were just one more hit to Venezuela but if they didn't screw themselves financially first they would have likely been able to endure the sanctions much better, like Russia during the Ukrainian war. Russia prepared, Russia saved money, Russia maintained it's oil industry, Russia kept enough gold and other resources to back up it's currency. Even Russia is suffering due to sanctions but nothing like Venezuela. Venezuela was already a broke trainwreck before the sanctions.

    It's clear that when a leader starts focusing on not being toppled, not because of rogue elements but because they're actually not worthy of the position they're in, that's when they actually fall, because it's like driving a car while looking at the rear view mirror. A crash is inevitable.

    As a Venezuelan with a deep understanding of politics, history, and geopolitics, it's important to direct attention to who is truly behind the suffering of our nation. We must ask ourselves: why did Venezuela begin distancing itself from Europe and the USA? Who influenced our decision to replace American military bases with Russian ones? Why adopt extreme nationalist ideas, and why start purchasing Russian military equipment? All of this points to Russia's influence, operating through Cuba.
    Currently, Maduro is using Venezuelan planes to travel between Iran and Russia, maintaining control over Venezuela with outside support. It’s clear that Maduro couldn't have orchestrated this on his own. Additionally, it's puzzling how Trump allowed these actions to continue, seemingly in exchange for political favors. It's strange that Trump appeared to use Venezuela as a pawn to win the election, and even more curious that he maintained communications with both Putin and Maduro
