If you have read the headlines of @primeraplana recently, maybe you have checked out some articles talking about the lack of transportation in Venezuela. And certainly, you have seen this image, about current means of transportation today:
Well, this wasn't always the case. It was reported in "El Cooperante", that between 2012, and 2017, 7,016 buses were bought by the Venezuelan government from the China government by Yutong, a chinese mass transport maker.
According to a statement issued by Venezuelan congressman Jony Rahal, the investigation revealed that "around 1.261 billion dollars had been invested in the purchase of 7,016 buses, which were bought by the government for the sum of USD 179,852, while the real cost is between 80 and 87 thousand dollars, which means a surcharge of USD 92,852 per unit". Also, he stated that "the Yutong plant located in Yaracuy is inoperative, despite the fact that a large amount of money was invested, amounting to almost 3 billion bolivars, and that due to delays and unfinished work, it generated around 939 million dollars for the Government. "With what has been stolen, 10,795 more buses, or 5 million tires, or 20 million batteries, could have been purchased, and 219 million students could have been subsidized on student tickets."

Well, the challenge began. I invite you to see the pictures and count the inoperative buses. And you will see the magnitude of the problem:
After seeing all of this, a tiny representation of inoperative buses in the country... Can you imagine the magnitude of what's happening here?
And remember, the buses were bought by the government with a surcharge of at least 100%.
Who is to blame? The US Empire? The so called "Economic Warfare"?
Think twice.
It is our duty to tell the truth and exercise our critical thinking. If you agree, i invite you to resteem the post. Let's inform the Americas about the actions of the Venezuelan Socialist Tyranny to the world.
Those who physical committed that acts are the guilty parties. That way after a while people won't commit the acts.
