The only country in the Western Hemisphere that is a significant danger to itself and to all its neighbors is Venezuela. With billions in defense spending and free cash from natural resources (albeit declining), Chavez has been fomenting political or military conflict in every country that he can.
The latest evidence of his meddling in Colombia:
Officials in Sweden are investigating reports that Swedish weapons were found in camps of Colombia’s Farc rebels.
The Colombian government says it believes the rocket launchers had originally been bought by Venezuela.
Defence journal Jane’s Intelligence Weekly reported last week that weapons thought to have been sold by Sweden to Venezuela were found in a Farc camp.
Chavez’s popularity at home is already on its way down… The 2009 referendum yielded a mere 54% support with 67% turnout. 46% voted against his proposal to end term limits.
We need a change in Venezuela. Perhaps a blue revolution with explicit support from Western powers?
