Aside from screwing Putin and his petrol state, this is just another reason to get off fossil fuel. Rubio is just another corporate tool.
While I think he is a bit nuts and incompetent, it is none of the West's business what is going on in Venezuela, until and unless there is a) a genocide or b) a military attack on their neighbors. Neither is the case. If Venezuelans want to get rid of Maduro, it is their job, and only theirs.
A self-proclaimed president is not exactly democratic, either.
And if a country doesn't want to be democratic, it is also their business. Democracy is just one form of government, there are others. Where are the sanctions on Saudi-Arabia with its horrific, killing regime?
