Venezuela's riots - regime change - stand in president that never stood in the last elections. The current President Maduro was elected and elections overseen by UN and others. French Yellow Vest riots go on for months - 20 plus have lost eyes from Police actions, one has lost a hand from the banned LBD rubber ball launcher - no one is calling for regime change outside of France. Several thousand other serious injuries and no one cares.
Then there is the attacks in Yemen to support a corrupt Govt. Opposed to that in Syria. Which one has had the media coverage and attracted the wrath of Europe and the USA. the totally unconvincing story of the Novichok saga compared to the killing of the Journalist at the Saudi Embassy in Turkey - Jamal Khashoggi. The differing Govt's reactions says a lot to me.
Great difference is also Venezuela vs Haiti. Anybody heard about Haiti crisis in TV? Maybe on first pages of newspapers? Support for protestors from US state department? From EU? Troops, weapons, sanctions?

Yes, six protesters have died during these protests.
