    I never really understood what’s going on in that region

    If I read this correctly Hugo wanted to loan Haiti some fuel at 1% but W. and Barry didn’t let him, then he died and Maduro let the shit go to hell?

    The problems there have to be much deeper than that.

    All I know is that their currency has consistently tanked for the past 17 years. No really talks about that region and I was hoping that this topic would someday come here because I don’t get it.

    Well an awful lot of it has to do with the price of Oil.

    Also Chavez chose not to completely crush the Neoliberal/Capitalists the way Castro did. So they were waiting…gestating…growing…like one of those Alien babies inside a host…

    Thats also why i am not optimistic about Amerika. Even if a bernie gets elected
    the powers-that-be will just wait him out.
