CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.

Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.
“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”
The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.
Doesn’t this description fit in on the U.S. as well?
Yes and no, by far and large superficially it describes the USA. But I’m reality most of the USA is kinda just coasting and it’s pretty mundane and fine.
The USA is still a good long way before it’s close to what Venezuela is like. But it’s for sure on that path, a few years more and I would entirely agree with you.
The USA really only has just started down the path proper so to speak.
It hasn’t even been a year of Trump’s policies yet. Just wait. The US economy will nose drive even without the AI bubble crashing.
Our economy is cooked and it will get very bad, but we don’t even have the same unemployment we say during the Great recession not even close to the Great Depression. Overall we’re not starving to death yet. Things are pretty bad though.
I do expect things to get much much worse, but we’re not there yet. Truthfully it may be too late to avoid what’s coming
