    Mate, this buddy’s like Putin. He’s never stepping down unless you force him to.

      That’s generally the case with dictators. Only Taiwan grew from a dictatorship into a working democracy. Maduro is nothing but a dictator. Venezuela has insane amounts of oil, gas and gold, it should be an extremely rich oil state like Qatar or the UAE but Marudo prefers to fill his own pockets and starve his people while money is worth less then the paper it’s printed on.

    At my old company I worked really closely with a coworker who was Venezuelan and he loathed Maduro. Saw him as a dictator and unrightful president that was creating problems in the country

    Seeing which other leaders support or reject this has been telling and I hope the voters in those countries are paying attention. Boric and Lacalle respect the rule of law, Castro and Arce do not.
