LOL! They do kinda serve as targets!
Sounds like Cambodia.
Escualidos, traidores, y malandros... his affectionate terms for anyone who doesn't march to his tune.
I know a few of his "malandros" and they are the best people you will ever want to meet.
There have been Lenin and even Stalin t-shirts on some of them.
The (communist) Russians and Chinese are playing an ever increasing role in this, expecially the deep discount by Russia on the weapons sold to Chavez. And when they say 100,000 AK Rifles, suspect at least 500,000 AK Rifles will be shipped. Also, Chavez is getting advanced MiG/Sukoi fighters and Hind MI-24D gunships. I also believe the numbers printed are much lower than what Chavez will take in.
The Russians never gave up Communism fully, and they still fund anti-American and pro-communist movements worldwide. They also have a KGB agent running things over there.
What's malandro mean? Maliante?
So did Pinochet.
Basically. According to the dictionary it means "thug" but I always think of it as equivalent to "bad guys" or "evil-doers". I've only heard the word used in Venezuela, maybe others can comment if the word is in general use elsewhere...
I heard Maleante a lot in Panama. Each country's vernacular is so different though...
I see them around New England daily...even on skateboarding teenagers.
I wonder if they will finally "get it" if an when CW2 gets to the mass firing squad stage.
And which sideo of the firing squad they will be on.
The Venezuelians will be on the Communists side (PRC, Elements of the "Former" USSR including KGB ran Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan; Cuba, Vietnam, Nicaragua* ect...)
* Daniel Ortega expected to win '06 election
Is Ortega really leading? Wow. Red tide rising. Peru, Bolivia, Equador, Venezuela. Even Mexico, if the commie mayor of MC wins.
Why not LA elected a commie as mayor
Don't ever forget about Russian and Chinese involvement. During the Cold war, the Russians had a plan for this. Now that they are teamed up with China, the Russians and Chinese can execute their plan.
Gen. Pinochet...he was superb. Latin America desperately needs more of him.
