Why, what is the US going to do?
-
In response to an unprovoked attack by Venezula? Oh, I don't know, but it probably invoves a carrier of two and some heavies out of Louisiana."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously. -
Looks like Lula has demanded an apology from Uribe (which wasn't a given IMO). Colombia has to back down here..."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Back down from what? They didn't do anything to Venezula in the first place, and what they did do to Equador is over with."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment

You are so wrong this time. Everything Chavez said is true, even the part about the US financing the Columbian government.Originally posted by Oerdin
People in Venezuela find this sort of rambling nonsense to be compelling? Chavez is gibbering like a monkey.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Why, are we going to start sinking supertankers? I guess Chavez could shut down production, but something tells me in the middle of a war he is losing cutting 30% of his economy down isn't a good move.
And something tells me after such a war the price of oil would make up for any previous spike

1. I didn't mention Venezuela. Lula is the (center-left) President of Brazil.Back down from what? They didn't do anything to Venezula in the first place, and what they did do to Equador is over with.
2. Back down from their antagonistic relations with their neighbors and apologize profusely..."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Yeah, thats why I said spike. A humiliating defeat at the hands of primarily fellow South Americans with a little US air power thrown in means no more Chavez and thus a properly run oil industry. Or in other words, lower oil prices long term.Do you even know the first thing about how markets work? There would be a panic.
Honestly, how long could a border war like that last? Chavez can't aford a protracted military campaign even if the US doesn't get involved."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

The US isn't going to do that. Oil spikes cause stagflation. Those are very bad and dangerous. Mkay. Sorry to ruin your little fantasy.Originally posted by Patroklos

if they apologize profusely won't that provide more incentive for FARC to continue sheltering in neighboring countries?Originally posted by Ramo

Apologizing is the last thing Colombia should do.
It should instead issue a statement of regret for any misunderstanding on the part of the Venezuelan and Ecuadorian governments.Last edited by Geronimo; March 4, 2008, 22:44.Comment

Everything meaning everything. Columbia invaded ecuador. And you expect them to use rhetoric that would suggest that they will do it again. In that case Venezuela and Ecuador can legitimately say and do anything.Originally posted by Geronimo

If Ecuador lacks the ability to control its territory and keep foreign influences out or worse if the evidence found at the base and they are supporting them pans out, why shouldn't Columbia be able to attack FARC bases?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment
