How do their "leaders" still have their heads?

They have the support of the military forces. So rioting doesn't work. It just gets you killed on the street with no repercussions for the government.

Also, the word "leader" implies that this is a legitimate democracy, which is not. Venezuela has an authoritarian corrupt government at best, a dictatorship at worst.

Life in Venezuela would improve dramatically if the US quit diverting all money going in and out of the country.

You can pump any ammount of money you want back to their economy, the result will be the same in the end.

How is it that, no matter what, people will always find a way to blame the US? I think in this case, the country just ran itself to the ground.
