Iran has two primary interests from my understanding - Oil production (less from Venezuela = higher prices more profit for other producers) and access to Venezuelan passports for some of their nefarious activities (Hezbollah).

FanboyOf91 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Damn, I could've sworn there was more than that. Quote The anti-government opposition is a left-right coalition. The left elements are former Chavismos like state prosecutor Luisa Ortega and former interior minister Miguel Rodriguez. There are 4 Venezuelan affiliates of the Socialist International (which technically makes them Democratic Socialists of America’s sister organizations). 3 out of the 4 Socialist International affiliates (AD, UNT, VP) combined control 57 out of 112 of the opposition’s National Assembly seats and are among the top five most powerful opposition members (most of the other parties have fewer seats; the opposition party with the most seats, PJ, is apparently a center-left party).

nonniey Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 For those few of you that where seduced by Corbyn. (I think of him as Britain's even more extreme version of a left wing Trump). He's always agreed with economic policies and actions Chavez and Maduro have taken. http://www.reuters.com/article/venezuela-politics-britain-corbyn-idUSL9N1IW004?rpc=401& British opposition leader Corbyn says dialogue needed in Venezuela 1 MIN READ LONDON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - The British Labour Party's socialist leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Monday there needed to be dialogue to stop growing violence in Venezuela but declined to condemn its President Nicolas Maduro.........

I see it as no different than the inability of Western conservatives to criticize Pinochet and other right wing authoritarians for their atrocities. I mean the current conservative movement across the US and Europe seems to have a certain admiration towards Vladimir Putin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
