Looks live the Venezuelan Clown is going to invade his neighbors.

What a terrible waste of resources on imagined enemies and worthless pride.

"What a terrible waste of resources on imagined enemies and worthless pride."

Yep.

Be a lot more well-served building roads, schools, telephone systems, etc.

But, hey, when their oil runs out and China becomes middle class, WalMart will need somebody to make the plastic stuff in cheap in sweatshops, and they can do that for us.

[The_Republican]

True!

[MARKUSPRIME]

Excellent target practice.

[monkeywrench]

He plans on using them, not letting them turn to rust. His "Bolivarian" dream.

"It’s also possible that the Chavez government will talk with officials of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) about buying larger ballistic missiles."

Ok. missle 1 on the ground and you and your country will cease to exist.

"Spanish transport aircraft and missile-capable corvettes,....."
Boy, would I like one of those missile-capable Corvettes about 7:45 A.M. on Interstate 95 when I'm running 10 minutes late already. Yeah, baby!

[Brilliant]

I suspect that at some point, they will be used on him.

Two billion dollars is a lot to spend just to get it shot all to **el if he starts anything with us.

[VeniVidiVici]

I hope ol' chubby remembers that Saddam's Republican Guards didn't fare too well.

[Hardastarboard]

missile-capable corvettes

I've never seen these cars in Car and Driver. Did I miss an issue?

Seriously, the US military will turn that $2 plus billion of hardware into hot smoking steel in about three days if Chavez ever decides to provoke us.

[genefromjersey]

I just signed up.Some of the folks I "chat" (argue ferociously) with think "poor Hugo" is just a nice socialist, trying to help his downtrodden people.

[rebrane]

His neighbors? Since even the Colombian army can't seem to conquer Colombia, I doubt they are too worried about this guy and his fancy Russian guns.

[binkdeville]

Hey NJ here too..You must be talking to NJ Democrats ..He's another tin pot Suth of the Boarder mad man , ego freak , half a homo nut.

[burzum]

This is not surprising. Recently he has made remarks that Puerto Rico should be liberated. I think he really wants a war with the US. He probably thinks all of his 'loyal' friends in countries like Iran and Cuba will help him out. Perhaps, but that wouldn't change the outcome.

[tet68]

I bet Hugo got a better price than $388 each for those
ak's.

who'd he buy them from Nickolas Cage?
