Plentiful rice on the plate

bleh Venezuela is not a socialist country, the vast majority of its economy is still in private hands. Venezuela is no different than a lot of Scandinavian countries with a strong welfare State, they nationalized the oil industry and put the wealth into helping the poor. The difference between the Scandinavian countries and Venezuela is that Venezuela dared to go against USA policy, and that is a big no no especially in the US' backyard. Like Cuba, Venezuela has been under constant attack by the USA, but unlike Cuba, Venezuela's economy was still in the private sector, so it was easier to destabilize. Venezuela was too reliant on oil prices, when oil prices was high everything was good, but once oil prices crashed, that's when things went downhill.

Why do you think Venezuela is not a socialist country? Is it because the name is not the "Socialist Republic of Venezuela"? Not by the name but that country's economy has been completely ripped apart by the socialistic policy of the former President Chavez that still continues. Read about it on the internet and other sources, please.

BD's large population(approach 200 million by 2030) may seem like a curse now but it can become a blessing as it will allow a large economy, which will allow a powerful military and hence in turn a foreign policy that is not subservient to any major powers.

You really know the true recipe of destroying whatever meager progress BD has made after 1947. Do you think 40 million additional people will be invited by the ME countries to water their date and watermelon trees and sweep their dusty streets?
