The report, published by the Centre for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) a progressive, Washington DC-based think tank, says those deaths took place following the imposition of sanctions in the summer of 2017.
Summer of 2017… hmm… which makes me doubt every other word in the article.
Thankfully joe biden didn’t just continue trump policies, so that settles that.
oh, wait. we still have a space force, we still have rich people tax cut handout, we still have an embassy moved from tel aviv to jersualem, and we still sanction venezuela.
Sure, but this article is a “Joe Biden Bad” article and immediately cites a report that directly corresponds to a Trump policy… without even giving any indication that it was a Trump policy and that the report was related to a specific time after that policy was instated… 7 years ago. All of this to show that “sanctions are bad” and since Biden has more sanction, Biden bad. If they’re not going to provide critical context, then they’re shitty journalists, they’ve compromised their credibility and it’s not worth reading. Any of their conclusions are suspect. I’m not even defending Biden here…
Also, Joe Biden isn’t even running for president… so what’s the point of the smear campaign?
I was interested and clicked the first source to find this:
As many as 40,000 people may have died in Venezuela as a result of US sanctionsthat made it harder for ordinary citizens to access food, medicine and medical equipment, a new report has claimed.
