U.S. to Venezuelan cancer patients: “No cancer treatment for you”

No country on earth has the capability and the will to inflict harm on the less fortunate than America.

That is of course, if those suffering unfortunates reside in a country designated for American regime change.

UN human rights and health care experts have issued a report stating U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, as well as sanctions or threats of sanctions on companies doing business with Venezuela, put many Venezuelans suffering from cancer and other ailments at risk of being deprived of necessary medicines and medical equipment.

The report states "While the right to health and the right to life are fundamental for all people around the world, we call on states, banks, and private companies to take full responsibility for the effects of their actions on people and withdraw sanctions, zero risks, and over-compliance policies that affect fundamental human rights"

The U.S. has been punishing Venezuelans for nearly 20 years since deciding socialist president Hugo Chavez had to go. His successor Nicholas Maduro, also a socialist, so enraged the U.S. it simply declared his 2018 re-election illegal. When his locally hated opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself president, President Trump was the first world leader to recognize his attempted coup.

But Maduro has both the popularity and the muscle to thwart America’s senseless interference there. So as long as Maduro retains power, U.S. sanctions will continue to degrade, even end life, for innocent Venezuelans.
