      It's like that most of the times, but foreigners get deceived by the government propaganda...Happens everytime I mention my venezuelan nationality in an english speaking website, I get all kind of comments about how communism sucks and how we desserve it for "voting for Maduro/Chavez" when every latin american knows most venezuelans don't support their govt. When I try to explain it, they usually talk about stats and videos they saw in the official venezuelan media (propaganda).

There are multiple countries at once almost pouncing on the koreas for their own motive, like China, Russia, Japan, and the US. However, Iraq is different.

      Yes. There are many running loose in America who are also "secretly" watching and judging. Their religion is to "get away with MURDER...then say they've done NOTHING" (Read Jeremiah 5:1-12* and you'll understand why they hate the Bible).

      And those of us who have rejected socialism/communism have managed to live a 'normal life'. Please direct your sadness to those how profess to deliver 'equality' and instead deliver mass murder. 100,000,000 at last count for the 20th century; who knows what they might accomplish next, given the idiots who still try to paint lipstick on the commie pig.
