A second major crash is expected, Spain looks like the next Greece, or Italy, Portugal maybe. Who goes first is the question. This is the fault of runaway, unregulated Capitalism which has infected the economies of the world. No doubt South American countries are also affected.
Compared to those European nations, Venezuela is looking good.
But you didn't answer my question. Why are some people so obsessed with a country that is free and democratic, while ignoring our allies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Uzbekistan et al. Those societies are not just 'fraying around the edges' they are over the edge and have been for a long time, dictatorships where you will be tortured and even put to death for being Gay or a woman who dares to drive, or go out without a man.
Interesting to see the priorities of some people in this country.
