Seems DW completely ignored the fact that Venezuela economy was screwed before any major sanctions hit it. The way the oil company was run meant the Maduro government sucked every dollar possible from it and it's infrastructure was beginning to fall apart. All based on the wrong idea that oil prices would grow endlessly. Zero savings, borrowing even when the oil company still worked and the oil prices were at record high numbers. So when oil prices fell Venezuela was practically bankrupt, massive overspending, oil company production dropping due to badly maintained equipment, oil spills and lack of spares, debt and unmanageable expenditure. All tied up together with serious corruption and inefficiency. The American sanctions were just one more hit to Venezuela but if they didn't screw themselves financially first they would have likely been able to endure the sanctions much better, like Russia during the Ukrainian war. Russia prepared, Russia saved money, Russia maintained it's oil industry, Russia kept enough gold and other resources to back up it's currency. Even Russia is suffering due to sanctions but nothing like Venezuela. Venezuela was already a broke trainwreck before the sanctions.
As a Venezuelan I knew there was something wrong with the documentary when they introduced the Venezuelan history using Mexican music in the background. Also, you're spot on regarding the Venezuelan economy, thank you.
I thought the same thing when I watched this .... they presented Maduro régime and socialism as being successful versus the prior free market with inequality. I didn't believe the claims so had to look it up. Here's what chatGPT said: While Chávez's socialist policies initially led to improvements in poverty reduction and social services, the long-term effects were detrimental. Economic mismanagement, political polarization, and corruption undercut the benefits of his reforms, leading to the severe economic and social crises Venezuela faces today.
@@Waldohasaskit210- are you sure? How many coups, assassination attempts, funding the radical right to create chaos, 930 sanctions? The man has been undermined by far. The US answer is only get rid of him…or assassination? What sort of democracy or civilized country you want to display such values to the world? Unbelievable the mentality.
Thank you so much for making a documentary about my country, I left around 7 years ago and I haven't seen my family since then. It's really devastating. Thank you for making documentaries in 2 languages. ❤ really appreciate it.

This is so sad, and I feel like Kenya is headed in this same direction. The issues of inequality, corruption, and lack of access to resources feel all too familiar. It’s heartbreaking to see what’s happening in Venezuela, and I can’t help but worry about similar challenges we face here.
This guy Rafael Ramirez is one of the guiltily of this tragedy, also Luísa Ortega . So, be careful who you are interviewing next time . Of course who are detecting power currently are also guilty too . Don't misunderstand me.
Rafael Ramirez was a poor guy who worked for a private consultant but now he is a billionare. Luisa ortega was unethical. Anyone of you remembers chalbadini? Additionally Guaido and his cronies stole millions of $$$ with that paralell government.
It's OK as long as they confess their crimes committed as part of the regime. Let's not hound the victims who are in exile now. BTW DW cannot get anyone in Venezeula to talk against the regime!
Venezuela is such a beautiful country, with beautiful people, good food, beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and many more to mention. Venezuela you are deep inside my heart and one day I'll come and explore you. Love from, South Africa. ♥♥♥
The US will always do what it can to promote human rights, democracy and all the western values that lead to prosperity, right up until they need your oil to win the next election.
Promote human rights? How many humans in the world live and suffer under US sanctions today? 🤔 And by western values what are you referring to? Just curious
Yeah and that is sanction a country so horribly that 7 million of its people leave the country well done USA, 😂then the US will be the one complaining about immigrants flooding the border when some of these horrific messes are worsened by it. its less about the regime than it is about oil, democracy is just a tool, why is democracy not being promoted in singapore or china
The USA and Europe didn't have much of a choice. If Venezuelan oil wasn't allowed in the market, oil prices would have shot through the roof and that would mean victory for Russia and death for the EU, and especially Germany. Germany is already in recession today; imagine how worse it would be with higher energy prices.

Not really, Venezuela has only boost production for around 2-3 hundred thousand barrels, around 0.5% of world production. Saudi Arabia can boost or reduce output by that much with a call by the White House. Venezuela is no longer a relevant oil producer nation.

No one talks about the atrocities happening in the south of Venezuela where the exploitation of gold mines are destroying one of the most beautiful areas in my country., and who is doing that. Thank you for creating awareness about what is happening in Venezuela, but I would go deeper. Oil is not the only interest.
Venezuela is flooding the whole continent with refugees. Something is very wrong in this country. Also the US has taken several millions of Venezuelans.

What business has the United States in the political life of Venezuela? Why not discuss countries like Nigeria with no sanction or restrictions, yet the situation of its people is worse than that of Venezuela.
There's a right wing free market economy off the coast of Venezuela, it's named Haiti.. they rather confabulate m myths of cannibals in the carribean lol

I used to love watching the Venezuelan culebrones when I lived in the Canary Islands. My favourite was Cristal. We used to have a Venezuelan guy work for us at the company I worked at. The Canaries and Venezuela have strong ties since a lot of Canarians migrated there during the 20th Century. Most of us Canarians have distant relatives there.
The only permission power is concerned with is its own. Just the way of nature.. sometimes it yields positive results, other times it makes things worse. Describe a world in which powerful entities that are entangled in a system together choose not to be driven by selfishness. Life feeds on life.. a competition..
It's clear that when a leader starts focusing on not being toppled, not because of rogue elements but because they're actually not worthy of the position they're in, that's when they actually fall, because it's like driving a car while looking at the rear view mirror. A crash is inevitable.
Trump ahould become the president od the world he will get rid of Maduro and make Venezuela beautiful again. The usa should control Venezuela and cuba and they will both be saved from a life of misery. Trump will fix everything. Trump will save the world
As soon as Bolton and Trump were mentioned i thought yep it's going to turn out bad. Darth Vaders death grip. Bolton is a mad as Trump. And Putin loved it. He definitely has Trump under his thumb.
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in our country.
General Ricardo is responsible for some of the worst crimes against humanity in our time...I hope he isn't being Papercliped and is held accountable...
Just because a country has been rich does not mean that the common people would have been. If instead of watching these subversive documentaries you read more sources from other countries you would see how the Venezuelan people suffered from dispossession and humiliation.

So the idea of international sanctions are so stupid. They have the disproprotionate effect of hurting the people not the government. On the contrary the government becomes more violent to repress the starving people that still find some energy to fight back.

Maria corina the promised messiah to save the country.

Maduro is the lesser evil, he has the support enough because the venezuelans dont have usa arrive to stole their richness.

As soon as Bolton and Trump were mentioned i thought yep it's going to turn out bad. Darth Vaders death grip. Bolton is a mad as Trump. And Putin loved it. He definitely has Trump under his thumb.
😂😂😂😂😂
Viva la revolución ❤
John bolton is disgusting
Another great example that no country really concerned about human rights but only their political interest
Excelent video
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in our country.
General Ricardo is responsible for some of the worst crimes against humanity in our time...I hope he isn't being Papercliped and is held accountable...
Guyana neighboring Venezuela is well on the way to a similar fate of oil being a curse for its people and a blessing for the corrupt criminal regime
As always an amazing documentary regarding geopolitics by DW❤.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Be sure to check out our channel for more content.
Awesome doco.
Fantastic!! Simply fantastic documentary and at the same time the heart bleeds to know the date of such a country which was once rich
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Just because a country has been rich does not mean that the common people would have been. If instead of watching these subversive documentaries you read more sources from other countries you would see how the Venezuelan people suffered from dispossession and humiliation.
Manuel went from the pinnacle of military power...to being a building superintendent. LOL
Freedom for Venezuelans
I'm only interested in them staying in their country.
Freedom to leave the country ???
Freedom for Americans and Germans
@@God1293freedom from what, nothing free In life if you don't pay your family will pay.
It hurts so much to watch this. Que pena con mi Venezuela querida.
Very interesting, informative and well put together. Bravo DW.
Thanks for watching and sharing your positive feedback!
Amazing
North Korea in the making
Solidarity!
¿Nadie se ha dado cuenta de que Nicolás Maduro se parece a José Stalin?

such informed and unbiased guest you invited
Another great documentary here
SuperZakayo in Kenya is learning a thing or two.
Now all of them are coming to 🇬🇾 😢😢
When is the Cuba documentary coming out? 🙃
DW Documentary has done several, and every one of them in English and Spanish versions.
There was one about the revolution, another about Catholics in today's Cuba.
Which one are you looking for? Just do a search for "DW Documentary Cuba." It's not that hard to do.
You’d receive an embargo by the USA if you do
watch, DW will do a Cuba documentary with mexican rancheras aswell 🤣
America is angry they cant have control of venezula oil .
So the idea of international sanctions are so stupid. They have the disproprotionate effect of hurting the people not the government. On the contrary the government becomes more violent to repress the starving people that still find some energy to fight back.
muy interesante la palabra prepotencia.

I would listen to Maduro and believe him over John Bolton any day of the week.
And that’s the problem!
I get that Bolton is not thrust worthy but to trust Maduro? That´s sick
me too man me too
both have mustache but one of them want the best for the people of Venezuela
You gringos are so simple minded, the fact that your reps are liars doesn't mean our dictators are good people, free Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua from commie r4ts
Maduro is king. Bolton is a genocider and so is his people.
Poor people over there.
I love how destabilizing a country and putting millions into poverty and hardship is seen as such a casual thing for the US to do. Truly embracing that real life evil empire persona.
Chavez did that.
@@Jeanne90275 Ok and America made it worse, they are literally admitting in the documentary.
Well said...
Don’t blame the USA blame the people in charge that are corrupt and greedy.
Venezuelan leaders are to blame why blame others blame yourselves.
Porqué no hablan de la situación económica de Alemania, en vez de criticar los grandes avances y crecimiento económico de Venezuela?

Jajajajajua cuáles avances??
Thank you for this insightful and accurate documentary. It truly captures the challenges Venezuela faces. Our country needs to be saved by Venezuelans, and with the help of the world’s biggest democracy, democracy and liberty will prevail.
No you guys need to grow some balls and save yourselves stop asking daddy USA to help you unless you wanna become the next Afghanistan
the world's biggest democracy is India
Maria corina the promised messiah to save the country. That woman asked for more sanction without care for the venezuelans population, request a military intervention in the country (something that is considered high treason in all countries of the world) and his only campaign proposal was to privatize everything. I assume you voted for his party.
I am South African.... Hopefully soon, Maduro will be a thing of the past. When this happens, I want to retire in Venezuela....
Why Venezuela out of all countries. Why not Mexico or Colombia
@@Hello-uk5xp I lived in Mexico for 5 years and Colombia for 2 years...I loved both countries. I think Venezuela will present a good economic incentive once Maduro is no more....
Viva Maduro!!!
What a propaganda network
When you fail to investigate the music selected at the beginning which is Mexican not Venezuelan. I would think DW would do a better job at paying attention to these fine details that are very important.
Luisa ortega si hablas paja!! Que hizo ella en las protestas del 2012 y 2014???? Ella es parte del regimen!
Wow this is insightful and very depressing
Hope one day people from Venezuela will have a democratic government as to the suffering they are having now.
Maduro is the lesser evil, he has the support enough because the venezuelans dont have usa arrive to stole their richness. Do you know the competence of maduro in the election asked for more sactions and a military intertion in the country?. And the mainly porpuse in case to governing was he total privatizacion. The hand of unitated state was stupidily visible in the venezuelan oposition.
Maduro definitely has balls of steel..to go against the wishes of a formidable country like US is no joke.. RESPECT
I like how they say how the sanctions was partially responsible
Nope
@TheSmartLawyer uh yeah it was
Stability and predictability, the two supreme national blessings, have existed contemporaneously with the Maduro regime.
If there was no oil, would we care?
No, like the many countries that there are with questioned governments but that do not attract as much media interest.
Nicaragua has oil?
Wow! The country with the biggest oil reserve in the world is also the world's biggest basket case! Really hard to comprehend!!! Corruption and incompetence at this level have not been seen anywhere else in the world!!!
politics, suck!!!!!!!!!
I.ve met many beautiful people from Venezuela, I hate that they are having issues
