Monroe Doctrine. Do you speak it, muthafarker?

he's probably venting over Saudi bailing on OPEC.

or he thinks we had something to do with it...

Let's see ... renewed Soviet-like expansion in Europe, Russian military occupying Latin America.

Seriously.

Why is it the Venezuela is always the country that forces us to whip out the Monroe Doctrine?

wtf? Chavez is one crazy, dumb fark. I suspect he was just mad because he hasn't been on CNN much lately.

I'd post the attention whore pic, but I'm too lazy.

 
fenianfark 2008-09-11 10:55:40 PM  
A few years ago when he first came to power, I thought he might be a decent guy. Then he started acting like a nut.

There is a great documentary about the attempted coup in Venezuela called "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". I highly recommend it.

I think we need to ask Sarah Palin what to do and whatever she says let's go with that.

 
LoneDust 2008-09-11 10:56:43 PM  
So Saudi was all like nuh-huh US is my honey sweetheart, and OPEC was like no way we need to squeeze more out of this sugar daddy, and Chavez got all pissed with the lack of love he's getting?

This will only serve to make Herr Hugo more popular with America's left-wingers.

He might be a bit unhappy about a certain trial involving Venezuelan intelligence.

Mods didn't like my "Chavez is this century's Castro." submission with his welcoming the Russians a few days ago.

rocinante721: Russian military occupying Latin America.

uh... wut?
Did I miss the Russian invasion of Latin America amidst all the "oh isn't Palin great!" headlines on the news networks?

 
deadapostle [TotalFark] 2008-09-11 10:57:54 PM  
So the Russians just did a few bomber exercises in Venezuela and now we're having our ambassadors kicked out?

I suppose when you pile this on top of Iraq, Afghanistan, the Taliban gaining political power in Pakistan under a weakened government, the issue with Georgia, the political maelstroms that are Cuba and North Korea, the fact that our Iraq and Afghanistan invasions may well be a precursor to an invasion of Iran, and every other completely frakked up thing going on in the world, it's just business as usual.

/see y'all on the other side of WWIII... if we make it.

 
Chastain86 2008-09-11 10:58:01 PM  
I don't understand. After all, Chavez is typically so levelheaded and not quick to rush to judgment or anger.

 
jayg22 2008-09-11 10:58:20 PM  
I bet Obama could talk him out of it!

DeltaXi65: Monroe Doctrine

I don't follow, how does the Monroe Doctrine apply here?

/honestly curious

FTA

He has made similar threats in the past, but the United States is his No. 1 oil client and taking such an action would debilitate his government financially.


Two words for the clowns at AP. Global market.

 
spill_thrill 2008-09-11 10:58:55 PM  
The U.S. plotting to overthrow a Latin American government? That's absurd!

 
re-elect_jimmy_carter 2008-09-11 10:59:03 PM  
has anyone considered the possibility that maybe the ambassador hasnt paid his rent in months?

we must put a stop to these deadbeat ambassadors.

that's ok hugo...we'll just kick your tankers out of u.s. waters. too bad only a few old u.s. refineries can handle the impurities in the kind of oil you're pumping. oh well.

"That's enough shiat from you, Yankees"

My razor-sharp Snap detector informs me that someone got told.

/Assuming he said "shiat" and not "pecan pie"

I guess you did...there are a couple of strategic Soviet Russian bombers in Venezuela right now

Go ahead Chavez, keep taunting the dynamite monkey...

the US let the oil price slid too low. so, the producers (especially in countries which recently nationalized oil) are trying hard.

"occupy" a strong word. "stationed" is better with respect to the deployed war planes

 
Clarence Potter 2008-09-11 11:01:03 PM  
Besides his knotted knickers, does Chavez have an actual raison d'être for shanking relations?

He's getting all buddy buddy with the Russians, allowing them to land bombers there and naval exercises with them. That's Monroe Doctrine territory.

Chavez is having political trouble at home, so he's using us as a shield. Typical dictator behavior.

Same. At first i was all like "well he is just acting in a reactionary sense to Idiot Bush's policies and tough talk" but now I'm beginning to think he is a little crazeh.

/Bush is still an idiot though

Now, who would you rather have deal with this situation?

An eloquent former law professor who's assistant practically built his career on his foreign policy knowhow...

OR

A cranky old man with Vietnam flashbacks who's assistant thinks God wants us to go to war with Russia?

I wonder if we're going to bomb, bomb, bomb them.

Somehow, your nick is entirely appropriate to this thread.

When I was watching Indy racing the other week, I saw a car that was sponsored by PDVSA. I am amazed that Indy officials allowed that sponsorship. PDVSA is a highly politicized entity.
