There are a lot of foreign troops/others in Venezuela, Hugo has no trust for his own people. The Ministry of Interior (secret police) is fully staffed by Cubans I understand.

All this is fine, well and good, but truly these are people we can reason with. If we're just nice to them and show them we want to be their friends...
