Is it the fault of the USA that Venezuela’s currency is so devalued that a great part of the population has to emigrate outside the country?

That isn't what happened. The sanctions where because the president didn't have legitimate elections... and killed political opposition. I don't agree with the sanctions as political punishment. But the emergence of Russia played a larger role than sanctions. Russia makes cheaper oil

The only reason the elections were declared illegitimate was because Maduro rightfully won. And the opposition wasn't killed, they were imprisoned for being traitors. They should be greatful most of them were allowed to live.

There are more productive things that starting an argument on the internet. I wish my husband wouldn't waste his time this way. Find people who agree with you and talk about that.
