Venezuela has been under siege for decades.
Not at all. It was Latin America's richest and most prosperous country until the oil price tumbled and Chavez took over. It was only then that the country got progressively worst to now being on the verge of total collapse.

People are literally starving to death. Wanna know what Maduro says about it? People are starving to death
on purpose because they are participating in a US-sponsored
coup d'etat.
I kid you not. Communist logic at its best. Shit don't work? Must be someone else's fault (even though I exercise TOTAL control of the country).
