El régimen ha suspendido el servicio de internet en todos los lugares donde hay protestas, como hacen cada vez que quieren impedir los videos de la policía y los militares reprimiendo al pueblo.

No US sanction is causing people to leave Venezuela, your socialist policies and friends did.
Venezuela is the LARGEST refugee crisis, more than Ukraine and Syria. And that's because they took over people's businesses, put price controls, and printed money to pay for welfare.

Some in the West need to be sent to spend some time in dictatorial regimes like Russia, without being able to leave early.
They will quickly start appreciating the “dumb freedom” and “libtard democracy” they love to hate in front of their laptops in NYC coffee shops.
