Agree or disagree?agree. but countries in the western hemisphere need strong relationships with other countries rather than the US. A country such as Russia( any other than the USA) can improve those countries economic problems which the US does not care about but themselves. but it has to benefit for both not for one, the US controls other countries like puppets. The reason the US is in so much crisist is because more and more countries are leaving US ties because it doesnt benifit them and finding other economic help such as Russia which the US is againstAgree, the more enemies, the more honour. And the military industry is happy. i agree with Damn_the you r neither centrist nor economically right liberal or tory can't be socially leftI would agree with the first two, however I think that no country 'needs' enemies, some are damn good at making them though, like that country you just mentioned above.I agree, the military industrial complex needs war to justify its existance. Russia also has a large military industrial complex obviously not on the scale of the USA. Venezuela needs arms to avert the USA invading it for its resources or trying to stage another military coup.Venezuela doesn't need weapons, they have too great a chance at going rogue.
Russia does need customers, epecially since their economy and currency really tanked this last month.
The US does need its enemies, especially Russia. I think we balance each other very well. Arch Enemies that would be lost without each other. We keep each other in check.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.
After careful consideration of the facts, it becomes quite clear why the corporate interests and incredibly wealthy hijackers of our constitutional republic in the United States are so desperate to convince their "electorate" that men like Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales are our "enemies". These men do pose a grave threat. If they maintain their hold on power and continue to advance the Bolivarian Revolution throughout Central and South America, powerful corporations will lose their capacity to commit legal larceny by plundering resources (a practice which leaves much of the Latin American population living in abject poverty). Morales is undermining the charade our government calls the "War on Drugs", which is simply another means of employing military intervention in the region and supporting ruthless leaders who implement policies favorable to the interests of the wealthy elite of the United States.
Yes, Morales is a dangerous man indeed. Like Chavez, he is rising like an ominous storm on the horizon, poised to strike powerful bolts of lightening through the fat wallets of the proponents of neoliberal economic policies (which are modern means of non-violent colonization). The Bush regime has legitimate reasons for fearing these men. They are imminent threats to the health of US cash cows throughout the Latin American region.
Based on the fact that the US government and media are defining Morales and Chavez as our "enemies" because they champion human rights and economic equality for their people in the face of American neocolonialism, I conclude that the Bush regime and many members of our Fourth Estate are morally bankrupt. What is even more distressing about their persistent efforts to convince Americans that Morales and Chavez are Antichrists is the fact that those who stand to "suffer" from this Bolivarian "diabolical scheme" to end US economic exploitation and oppression in Latin America represent a small fraction of the US population.
I guess you could put it that way, but I don't really think the US is looking for enemies.disagree, you obviously dont know how the world worksYou say it's "BUSINESS as USUAL"
Agree.
A:~)I don't completely agree, but as one of the most interesting questions that have come from out of left field here, /starred.
EDIT: Coming out of left field doesn't mean a liberal said it. Its a common expression that means "unexpected". Sorry for the confusion.Yep, agreed. Actually, the world needs these problems so the UN can get all small arms taken away from citizens. Without their arms, people will not be able to defend themselves from those that seek to destroy us, namely Islam.Remarkably perceptive of you. Yes, we have needed a good stable enemy ever since the collapse of the Soviet union. Why don't you move to Venezuela or Russia and ask your Question.Seriously,you may like it there.We can all chip in 50 cents here in Elections and buy you a ticket.Not really a question more of a Rant.ReportedWhat people never seem to see in these events is the economics.
Russia is trying to solidify it's position in the world oil market and therefore have more control over the price of oil, worldwide.
Russia could careless about Venezuela except for it's oil supply.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
