Odd that The Globe and Mail gets its nose out of joint about Venezuela, but doesn't suggest isolating Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other "free market" dictatorships. Why's that, I wonder.

Also, your editors seem content to ignore the ongoing attempts of the US government to interfere with the internal affairs, starting when Hugo Chavez took power. More than a little hypocritical, I think, given that Trump is sanctioning Russia for "interfering" in the US election.

Finally, the western strategy of isolating Maduro is the same one it used against Fidel Castro. How did that work out?
