Chavez again talking tough

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, again with the tough talk. He’s getting ready for a tour of Belerus, Iran and Russia, and planning some really big military purchases, in the face (he says) of the threat of agression from the U.S.

From brietbart.com:

Dressed in olive green fatigues and a red beret, Chavez spoke inside Tiuna Fort—Venezuela’s military nerve-center—before hundreds of uniformed soldiers standing alongside armored vehicles and tanks decorated with banners reading: "Fatherland, Socialism, or Death! We will triumph!"

"We must continue developing the resistance war, that’s the anti- imperialist weapon. We must think and prepare for the resistance war everyday," said Chavez, who has repeatedly warned that American soldiers could invade Venezuela to seize control of the South American nation’s immense oil reserves.

Will the U.S. invade the South American country for its oil? I’m not sure what the point would be, but then, the view from Pennsylvania Avenue is a little lot different than from everywhere else. What’s important for Chavez, is the appearance in his own country, that he’s their defense agains the boogeyman – namely George W. Bush and the United States. It’s more about his power than anything else. America can destroy his economy with a simple blockade – it doesn’t need boots on the ground to do that. Stop the oil money, and Chavez is done.
