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.
@@Waldohasaskit210- are you sure? How many coups, assassination attempts, funding the radical right to create chaos, 930 sanctions? The man has been undermined by far. The US answer is only get rid of him…or assassination? What sort of democracy or civilized country you want to display such values to the world? Unbelievable the mentality.
Thank you so much for making a documentary about my country, I left around 7 years ago and I haven't seen my family since then. It's really devastating. Thank you for making documentaries in 2 languages. ❤ really appreciate it.

@@lashlarue7924 Does that kind of talk really speak to you? That you applaud? The general public is so dumb the way this world works is allowed to happen. 🤦♂️ I do not believe the general public has ever stopped to actually research & think about what is happening or the public would not be so foolish to believe it’s red vs blue. It’s not a lack of intelligence, it’s simply ignorance. You can think stuff like this(John Bolton’s Vader comment) is stupid and still support the USA and be against Maduro.

This guy Rafael Ramirez is one of the guiltily of this tragedy, also Luísa Ortega . So, be careful who you are interviewing next time . Of course who are detecting power currently are also guilty too . Don't misunderstand me.
Rafael Ramirez was a poor guy who worked for a private consultant but now he is a billionare. Luisa ortega was unethical. Anyone of you remembers chalbadini? Additionally Guaido and his cronies stole millions of $$$ with that paralell government.
It's OK as long as they confess their crimes committed as part of the regime. Let's not hound the victims who are in exile now. BTW DW cannot get anyone in Venezeula to talk against the regime!
Venezuela is such a beautiful country, with beautiful people, good food, beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and many more to mention. Venezuela you are deep inside my heart and one day I'll come and explore you. Love from, South Africa. ♥♥♥
This is so sad, and I feel like Kenya is headed in this same direction. The issues of inequality, corruption, and lack of access to resources feel all too familiar. It’s heartbreaking to see what’s happening in Venezuela, and I can’t help but worry about similar challenges we face here.
The US will always do what it can to promote human rights, democracy and all the western values that lead to prosperity, right up until they need your oil to win the next election.
Promote human rights? How many humans in the world live and suffer under US sanctions today? 🤔 And by western values what are you referring to? Just curious
Yeah and that is sanction a country so horribly that 7 million of its people leave the country well done USA, 😂then the US will be the one complaining about immigrants flooding the border when some of these horrific messes are worsened by it. its less about the regime than it is about oil, democracy is just a tool, why is democracy not being promoted in singapore or china
The USA and Europe didn't have much of a choice. If Venezuelan oil wasn't allowed in the market, oil prices would have shot through the roof and that would mean victory for Russia and death for the EU, and especially Germany. Germany is already in recession today; imagine how worse it would be with higher energy prices.

Not really, Venezuela has only boost production for around 2-3 hundred thousand barrels, around 0.5% of world production. Saudi Arabia can boost or reduce output by that much with a call by the White House. Venezuela is no longer a relevant oil producer nation.

And exactly who is that such dictator who dictated the embargo on Venezuela who took the right to least your food from the late 60s Venezuela oil company was no different than a foreign entity
Venezuela is flooding the whole continent with refugees. Something is very wrong in this country. Also the US has taken several millions of Venezuelans.
@@KlausBahnhof of course not. Look at Iran's economy growing despite being the most sanctioned country in the world. Typical excuse of the incompetent, corrupt tyrants. Blame it on embargos.
What business has the United States in the political life of Venezuela? Why not discuss countries like Nigeria with no sanction or restrictions, yet the situation of its people is worse than that of Venezuela.
There's a right wing free market economy off the coast of Venezuela, it's named Haiti.. they rather confabulate m myths of cannibals in the carribean lol
Documentaries like these refuse to show the direct involvement of America to overthrow Maduro and instill a puppet president just to get control over their oil.
Why is it that in any informational documentary about Venezuela, no one talks about how Maduro and his people turned Venezuela into a narco-state. No one talks about the atrocities happening in the south of Venezuela where the exploitation of gold mines are destroying one of the most beautiful areas in my country., and who is doing that. Thank you for creating awareness about what is happening in Venezuela, but I would go deeper. Oil is not the only interest.
Mexican music!? Venezuela and Mexico are independent countries with different culture, gastronomy, traditions, and MUSIC. This documentary could’ve been great otherwise.
Wow... I'm a Galapagueño and didn't know about the situation you Venezuelans had to go through.. it's quite shocking (I'm 19) Wishing you venezuelans all the best
Any countries that follows Russia and/or China is a country that is being used. I mean used even more than the Americans or British will use you during these modern times.
Trump ahould become the president od the world he will get rid of Maduro and make Venezuela beautiful again. The usa should control Venezuela and cuba and they will both be saved from a life of misery. Trump will fix everything. Trump will save the world
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.
When you fail to investigate the music selected at the beginning which is Mexican not Venezuelan. I would think DW would do a better job at paying attention to these fine details that are very important.

I used to love watching the Venezuelan culebrones when I lived in the Canary Islands. My favourite was Cristal. We used to have a Venezuelan guy work for us at the company I worked at. The Canaries and Venezuela have strong ties since a lot of Canarians migrated there during the 20th Century. Most of us Canarians have distant relatives there.

As soon as Bolton and Trump were mentioned i thought yep it's going to turn out bad. Darth Vaders death grip. Bolton is a mad as Trump. And Putin loved it. He definitely has Trump under his thumb.
General Ricardo is responsible for some of the worst crimes against humanity in our time...I hope he isn't being Papercliped and is held accountable...
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in our country.

So the idea of international sanctions are so stupid. They have the disproprotionate effect of hurting the people not the government. On the contrary the government becomes more violent to repress the starving people that still find some energy to fight back.
I love how destabilizing a country and putting millions into poverty and hardship is seen as such a casual thing for the US to do. Truly embracing that real life evil empire persona.

@@Hello-uk5xp I lived in Mexico for 5 years and Colombia for 2 years...I loved both countries. I think Venezuela will present a good economic incentive once Maduro is no more....
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
If you sign up with Brics, You are basically a communist and on the wrong team. Trump has mental issues. He does not care about anyone but himself. Americans think he gives a damn about the people are dead wrong. Say just one thing that opposes his plan and watch how fast he talks sh't about you

Shalom, well I really do like your channel a lot- thank you - ONE2
Excelent video
As soon as Bolton and Trump were mentioned i thought yep it's going to turn out bad. Darth Vaders death grip. Bolton is a mad as Trump. And Putin loved it. He definitely has Trump under his thumb.
😂😂😂😂😂
Ayeee where you from ??? Me I’m from the good old USA 🇺🇸 😊
This is like a vision what is coming to KENYA.. May God help us
Guyana neighboring Venezuela is well on the way to a similar fate of oil being a curse for its people and a blessing for the corrupt criminal regime
General Ricardo is responsible for some of the worst crimes against humanity in our time...I hope he isn't being Papercliped and is held accountable...
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in our country.
So Sad Story!
It hurts so much to watch this. Que pena con mi Venezuela querida.
Freedom for Venezuelans
I'm only interested in them staying in their country.
Freedom to leave the country ???
Freedom for Americans and Germans
this is bad journalism i was expecting more from DW. this is terribly one-sided.
I couldn’t agree more
Thank you for this insightful and accurate documentary. It truly captures the challenges Venezuela faces. Our country needs to be saved by Venezuelans, and with the help of the world’s biggest democracy, democracy and liberty will prevail.
No you guys need to grow some balls and save yourselves stop asking daddy USA to help you unless you wanna become the next Afghanistan
the world's biggest democracy is India
Amazing
Luisa ortega si hablas paja!! Que hizo ella en las protestas del 2012 y 2014???? Ella es parte del regimen!
Porqué no hablan de la situación económica de Alemania, en vez de criticar los grandes avances y crecimiento económico de Venezuela?

Jajajajajua cuáles avances??
So the idea of international sanctions are so stupid. They have the disproprotionate effect of hurting the people not the government. On the contrary the government becomes more violent to repress the starving people that still find some energy to fight back.
Manuel went from the pinnacle of military power...to being a building superintendent. LOL
I love how destabilizing a country and putting millions into poverty and hardship is seen as such a casual thing for the US to do. Truly embracing that real life evil empire persona.
Chavez did that.
@@Jeanne90275 Ok and America made it worse, they are literally admitting in the documentary.
Well said...
Don’t blame the USA blame the people in charge that are corrupt and greedy.
Venezuelan leaders are to blame why blame others blame yourselves.
19:43 did he just compared US with the Empire?
Accurate comparison.
¿Nadie se ha dado cuenta de que Nicolás Maduro se parece a José Stalin?

North Korea in the making
Another great documentary here
Who leads Venezuela is nothing to do with anyone other than Venezuelan's.
People always blame other people and countries for their own dictatorial tendencies and leaders.
You have ENTIRELY too many commercials enabled for this video and you just lost my eyeballs less than halfway through
Wow this is insightful and very depressing
What a propaganda network
I am South African.... Hopefully soon, Maduro will be a thing of the past. When this happens, I want to retire in Venezuela....
Why Venezuela out of all countries. Why not Mexico or Colombia
@@Hello-uk5xp I lived in Mexico for 5 years and Colombia for 2 years...I loved both countries. I think Venezuela will present a good economic incentive once Maduro is no more....
Viva Maduro!!!
Behind every dictatorship is a nation who dances to the dictator's tune in exchange for a lousy life. 😢
Maria Rosa's Family in Dominican Republic...Again....Thanks NYPD
I like how they say how the sanctions was partially responsible
Nope
@TheSmartLawyer uh yeah it was
Stability and predictability, the two supreme national blessings, have existed contemporaneously with the Maduro regime.
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
If you sign up with Brics, You are basically a communist and on the wrong team. Trump has mental issues. He does not care about anyone but himself. Americans think he gives a damn about the people are dead wrong. Say just one thing that opposes his plan and watch how fast he talks sh't about you
Trump has nothing to do with your internal politics of late, he's not even in office. What you have is an agenda, not an understanding.
Because you are not Venezula😂
Trump is a traitor to his own country
Putin and Trump are friends, they admire each other.
Viva la revolución ❤
Exact script president ruto is using right now in kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🚩🚩🚩🚩
*34:10* Superzakayo
