Hugo Chavez is Dead

If anyone here would've lived in Venezuela while Chavez was in power you'd see why many left the country and hated him. Not hard to see when you live it.

[QUOTE="DeadMan1290"][QUOTE="thebest31406"] Good for most of Latin America. His presence and influence encouraged other Latin American countries to stop abiding by western rule and to make matters into their own hands.thebest31406

[QUOTE="thebest31406"][QUOTE="DeadMan1290"] Yep. Now, US will want to re-establish relations with Venezuela.LJS9502_basic

Wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. was behind this purely based on their actions in other South American countries.DroidPhysX

[QUOTE="lo_Pine"] Their economy collapses. Almost half of their oil exports are to the United States alone (http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=venezuela+oil+exports+&go=&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=venezuela+oil+exports+&sc=5-21&sp=-1&sk=#view=detail&id=7144DAE67FECE312C796349FEB07B68CAA35C4D5&selectedIndex=0) And oil exports make up about 20% of their economy. Foreign investment in Venezuela would also decrease significantly if Venezuela decided to stop exporting oil, even if only to the United States.

lo_Pine

Ok. Now do you want to answer the question I asked you?

You have no idea how the oil market works do you?

It's one thing to carry out policies intended to help the poor. For all I know, they may have been effective policies (I'm not too familiar with the economic conditions of Venezuela, past and present). It's another to fire thousands of middle class engineers because they do not agree with said policies. In fact, I'd call it outright oppressive.

It's funny, if a employer here in the US fired workers over political differences people here would be defending that employer. At-will employment and all.

That's why the people took it to the streets to mourn Hitler's death after he shot himself...

To be fair, it's hard to mourn anyone when you have just been brutally defeated in war, your country is largely destroyed, and it is about to be essentially sliced up between competing powers. I would be interested in the possibilities of Hitler's death in the absence of WWII.

So then the U.S. governemt is full of "communist scum" as well?

Modern day McCarthys are pretty embarrasing.
