I think this is going to be one of those times where I'm really glad we have a democrat in the white house. The GOP is filled with war-mongers who would love nothing more than to put their own hand-picked puppet in power and they won't hesitate to throw trillions of dollars worth of military spending to do it. Obama is going to be much less involved in the process this time around, but I still think he'll voice his opinion and he will probably make a little effort to help his guy get in there, but I doubt he'll use military force unless there's some kind of whole scale social breakdown.

Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
![[Image: harmlesskitchen.png]](https://i.postimg.cc/yxR97P23/harmlesskitchen.png) I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad. 
Chavez tried to take over Venezuala with a coup d'tat and when it failed, he came back and got elected and seized power and basically made himself the Castro of Venezuala.
Makes you wonder why he bothered to try a coup to begin with...
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
Yeah, I just mailed Sean Penn a sympathy card since best buddy Hugo kicked the ol' bucket yesterday....Can't say that I'm sorry to see Hu-go! Good riddance to a socialist dictator!

We can't keep our noses out of Latin America. Why not? What has south america suddenly obtained that would give it much increased bargaining power and leverage against the still overwhelming economic and military power of the US? Superficial signs of influence may wax and wane, but underlying leverage and power disparity is the long term steady determinant of who is the big dog. The only development that might pull south America away from US would be rise of brazil. In such a case it would not be clear whether south America will do better in Brazil's orbit rather than the American orbit. But the day brazil attain such powered is at least many decades off, if it would arrive at all. Even brazil's recent windfall offshore oil discovery that otherwise might give it earlier leverage over the US has been nullified by the developement of shale oil and frakking extraction in US proper. I am also sure the US will play Argentina off against rising brazil long before brazil rises very far to nullify the latter's influence and allow the US to retain preeminence in south America.

Good riddance to a socialist dictator! You know, whatever his political stances were, I think a comment like that, it doesn't warrant for such an offhanded response. It was a human being after all that died with cancer. I'll take a bullet to my head instead of that, anytime man. ETA: This doesn't mean I accepted his political views, IMO, he was a demagogue.

He will probably become an icon to the Venezuelan people, just for dying, how stoic. Truth of the matter is that he wasn't loved by the US admins because of his nationalization politics.
