Well judging on the rise and fall of things, Venezula's situation is to be expected.
Empires come and fall within these few steps Step 1: Start out as a fledgling new middle power with benign intentions Step 2: Rise up as a potential superpower Step 3: Get drunk with the power Step 4: Become too overconfident that you are too big to fail Step 5: You slowly start to fail Step 6: If its a democracy at step 1, a dictatorship will be formed. If already dictatorship at step 1, dictator becomes more insane and does stuff he previously would not do Step 7: Things are good temporarily, you ain't a power, but you are in a good place Step 8: Sudden unforeseen problem Step 9: VIVE LA REVOLUCION !!! Step 10: You are no longer great, just a once proud nation, within the likes of most former European Colonial empires Step 11: Slowly degrade and rot into the history books
Venezuela's pretty much at that place where Maduro is becoming a dictator...I really can't see the situation going anywhere good in the near future.

I am very scared of Venezuela, any conflict from an area of relevance could affect my mom's paycheck as a middleman trader along the world to Asia trade. Also, muh trip visitng south america this november just got harder. Would applying to be Red cross volunteers be helpful enough ?

As one of TSP's South Americans, I can assure you that the region is very peaceful and stable, and Venezuela is a rather extreme case. South America is a beautiful region, and very much worth the trip. Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Former Delegate of the South Pacific

But as for Venezuelan women and chevism, that might be a problem... considering the Chevism has failed.(08-18-2017, 09:44 PM)Malayan Singapura Wrote: I am very scared of Venezuela, any conflict from an area of relevance could affect my mom's paycheck as a middleman trader along the world to Asia trade.

Oh, Peru has so much more than just high altitude. It deserves a whole trip just by itself.

We actually have lots of interesting places here. It's sad that the crime rate has scared away any tourists considering making a visit.

Boy, crime no scare me. My country has the third highest bullying rate in the world. I will see them all no matter how many narcos cartels, corrupt policemen or instability there is. I know what to do to avoid getting shot or jailed. Heck even if the whole continent is on rhetorical or literal fire, I will bring a Fire extinguisher or riot armor, a sign supporting the side that I believe in and an AK47 with a thousand clips of rubber bullets.
