| US renews call for OAS to eject Venezuela |
| 2018-06-05 |
| [Al Jazeera] US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on members of the Organization of American States (OAS) to suspend Venezuela from the group and bolster sanctions against Nicolas Maduro's government. ... as it edges ever so much more snugly into the same category as North Korea... In his remarks on Monday, Pompeo again condemned last month's elections that returned Maduro to power as a "sham" and said the government had "exhausted all options for dialogue". Ejecting Venezuela "would show that the OAS backs up its words with action and would send a powerful message to the Maduro regime", Pompeo told the 34-member OAS assembly in Washington, DC. "Only real elections will allow your government to be included in the family of nations," he said. |

| #3 I'm not sure Venezuela rises to the level of a state anymore, failed or otherwise. Looks to me like just another f**ked-up place on a map. Back during the Presidential election when Bernie Sanders was barnstorming thru Michigan making everyone giddy, I happened to be at a tech meet-up talking with some 20-30-somethings. Over the course of the evening, the subjects of PHP and socialism came up (tl;dr: PHP bad. socialism good) They were totally geeked on socialism. Funny thing, none of them had ever heard of Venezuela. |

| #2 ... as it edges ever so much more snugly into the same category as North Korea... They have the starvation diets and ChiCom/Cuba influence. All they need now is nukes |

| #1 Venezuela has been a failed state for quite some time now. They have been, in fact, already ejected. |
