🌎 Big countries like the U.S. 🇺🇸 sometimes try to control smaller countries like Venezuela 🇻🇪 because they want their oil 🛢️. They might say the leaders there are bad 👎, but often it's just because they want to be in charge. Venezuela has done good things for its people 👨👩👧👦, like giving them better schools 🏫 and doctors 👩⚕️. The U.S. also gets involved in fights far away, like in Ukraine 🇺🇦, by sending weapons 💣. This can make the fighting last longer 😢. It's important to listen to what the people in these countries want, not just what big powerful countries say 🗣️.
