Obama absurdly declared Venezuela a "threat to U.S. security", as an excuse to impose economic sanctions.

He is also "concerned" about Venezuela's "human rights violations", such as accusing a few opposition politicians of joining a coup plot allegedly organized by the US (which organized one around 12 years ago) but strangely unconcerned about Saudi Arabia's across-the-board human rights violations or Mexico's.

I really am concerned about the charges against those opposition politicians. They could be valid, but I can't be confident of that, and that is the cause of my concern. I hope they will get fair trials and that they won't be convicted without real proof of complicity.
