Yes. I don’t mean to throw shade on all that they are doing. I just don’t think they’re coming to save us and frankly, we shouldn’t ask them to. If we can get to a point where a viable communist party is one faction of a civil war, perhaps they would render some form of aid, but we can’t depend on that. We have to be willing and able to support ourselves.

why?
Why am I not counting Venezuela out yet? Sometimes strategic victories require tactical retreats.
