Will the neo-con thugs cry outloud against Hugo Chavez again?

Question

Hugo Chavez is going to buy 5 Russian attack submarines "Project 636" (class Kilo) and 4 subs "Project 977" (class Amur).

The last time they (and their Ministry of Propaganda) cried when Chavez bought 100,000 AK-100s.

Answer 1

I'm not a fan of Hugo Chavez but he was democratically elected. If he's what Venezuela wants, then you got him. Hopefully they don't reelected him next time around.

Answer 2

So in fact, what's nice for one isn't for the different? Chavez additionally tried a Coup and grew to become into jailed for it. On 04 February, 1992, Chávez led a militia coup against Perez which finally failed, ensuing in Chávez' capture and incarceration for 2 years. Chávez grew to become into later released by utilizing President Rafael Caldera in 1994, and entered politics by utilizing founding the pass for the 5th Republic.

Answer 3

I don't mind opposition to Chavez.

However, the opposition to Chavez is not legitimate until they reveal who murdered Danilo Anderson, a prosecutor who was going after the people who tried to depose Chavez in a botched 2002 attempted coup.

Answer 4

Those submarines will be used for defensive purpose only, as being use as attack subs, would not be efficient against the US fleet... Also Chavez may not like Bush, but he says that he want to do business with the US, only not at Bush conditions... I guess who can blame him?
Leave these neocon alone, they don't deserve that we care about what they think...

Answer 5

I suppose you're applauding the fact that a guy who's now had himself declared dictator for life, closed down any opposition media, purchsed 100,000 weapons instead of 100,000 schoolbooks now wants to buy attack submarines. You have the nerve to call those who oppose this autocrat thugs and refer to the free press as a ministry of propaganda? WOW, I am truly impressed at how far the loopy leftys have fallen. You are siding with the anti-Christ because he called our President the devil. How terribly sad.

Answer 6

Hugo Chavez has publicly castigated the United States (and Bush II in particular) on several occasions. Drawing calls for his assasination from "respected US Christian leader" Pat Robertson, Chavez has clearly stated his intention to use his vast petroleum resources as a geopolitical weapon against the United States. He drew thunderous applause at the UN for his speech in which he maligned the United States government and its policies. As the democratically-elected president of Venezuela, a member of the indigenous population, a survivor of a US-sponsored coup in 2002, and the winner of a recall referendum in 2004, Chavez has utilized his nation's rich oil reserves to wage a war on poverty. He has used oil revenues to provide schools, medical care, and basic necessities at subsidized prices to the 80% of Venezuelans who live below the poverty line. He has also instituted land reforms to provide impoverished farmers an opportunity at ownership.

Aligning himself closely with Fidel Castro, a man who has been a thorn in the collective sides of the United States ruling elite for years, Chavez has drawn further ire from US leaders. Since 1959, Castro has bedeviled the US government as the Cuban leader who deposed Fulgencio Batista, a ruthless dictator whom the US government supported. While ruling Cuba, Batista widened the wealth gap to a chasm (sound familiar?) and dispatched his death squads, which captured, tortured, and murdered thousands of "Leftists". Castro is certainly no saint, but Cuba was not exactly a paradise under America's proxy either.

Trading oil for the use of many of Cuba's superbly-trained physicians, Chavez has parlayed his relationship with Castro to an advantage for the poor of his nation. Ironically, the infinitely benevolent and wise leaders of the United States rejected offers of help from both Chavez and Castro during Hurricane Katrina. While the Bush regime spurned overtures of help from our "enemies", over a thousand Americans died in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as a result of criminal neglect and incompetence on the part of a US government now geared almost solely to represent and sustain the interests of the wealthy, corporations and the military industrial complex.

Answer 7

i wish those neo-cons do t Chavez what Syrians did Lebanese leaders.

Answer 8

This man has stated that he wants the downfall of this country and it should be ALL of us that should cry outloud, even you kool-aide drinkers! The subs are no big deal as they are like buying a BB gun to what we have!

Answer 9

Yeah, so I hate the neocons, but if Hugo Chavez were in my country, I'd be much more afraid of him that I ever have been of neocons.

Chavez is an authoritarian nutcase, who thinks he can manipulate his people into giving up total control of their lives and their freedom. So far it seems to be working. I figure we'll see an increasing number of Venezuelan refugees in coming years.

Answer 10

Why are you liberals so in love with this guy?

He shut down a privately owned TV network that supported the opposition, and instead replaced it with state run tv.

So much for freedom of speech in Venezuela.

You secretly wish you guys could do the same here, don't you?
