[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On Thursday, the U.S. government ordered family members of employees at its embassy in Venezuela to leave as the nation's political crisis deepened ahead of a controversial vote critics contend will end democracy in the oil-rich country. Similarly, Canada warned its nationals against non-essential travel to Venezuela and urged citizens already there to leave. As well as ordering relatives to leave, the U.S. State Department on Thursday also authorized the voluntary departure of any U.S. government employee at its compound-like hilltop embassy in Caracas, where hyperinflation is about to hit 1,000%.

Terrible crisis.  Just goes to show what happens when you vote an authoritarian crack pot as your president.  Strongmen who cultivate cults of personality are never ideal leaders and populism is often the first step on the road away from democracy toward authoritarianism.
