The only small fault with the article is when the author quoted the director of the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research without stating that she is a coordinator for the very same. This is shown in the authors CV synopsis at the bottom of the article but I think it should have been stated more clearly for the reader.

The article is from a Left wing perspective and assume reader has some understanding of the history of American empire. It is very plausible that Venezuela could be another Vietnam as described, this is not a new line of thought, just one you will never see in corporate news.

The piece is not balanced it depicts the US as the Darth Vader capitalist and the current Venezuelan government is the Knight in shining armor.

Lack of Reliable Sources

The article takes the unconventional warfare against Venezuela by the US as a fact that needs no support, and similarly that it is directly responsible for the hardship there.
