It is national debt to other countries.
(i added the word National now, thanks)

Which country doesn't have any?

the point is the people of Venezuela are crippled from this debt, this is global news so I won't go into what is happening there right here but the US is feeling no such heat.. in fact it's spending as usual here - question is why?

Does Venezuela have oil? Or other natural resources that the US might want? All it does is manipulate its' government and voila!

oh yes - exactly! it's all about their oil (unfortunately)

President Nicolas Maduro blames the United States and Western institutions for waging "economic war" against Venezuela. President Trump and several other Western leaders call Maduro's regime a dictatorship.

~from a CNN article hah

Well, in this case the information is accurate. Maduro does blame the US and Western institutions for waging the "Economic War" (which is ultimately the justification the government has for every bad thing that happens in the country).

And they do call it a dictatorship, and we call it a dictatorship, and even Maduro has called it a dictatorship at some time in his government, although nowadays they try to paint it as a democracy (not very successfully).

For a change coming from CNN.
@bifilarcoil here is @cryptosharon😁

The debt is a minor thing compared to the rest of the situation. Venezuela is completely destroyed in many ways. There is no safety from crime on the streets due to police corruption and lack of resources. The water services are all broken and lack maintenance (same with the energy services; there are many towns where there is only energy on certain days of the week or certain times of the day).

Political corruption, school desertion, over-regulation of prices, etc., I can't go into all of it, but it's not just the debt.

What do Venezuelans do to keep the spirits up?
