btw... I'm still not happy with Spain's willingness to poke the USA in the eye for no reason.
To: Paul_Denton
We're likely to send Spain a few gadzillion dollars since they aren't worth that much anymore. Bush and State like to support the New World Order.

It's not like Spain is the only country ever to supply transport aircraft to a megalomanic expansionist dictator (USA. C-130B Hercules. Sukarno. 1960)

Sukarno. 1960) That was before I was born, and things have changed since 1989 (fall of USSR) and 2001 (9/11)... Our allies should not be helping our enemies in any way... no matter how small. Let Chavez buy from China and Cuba. My wife was born in Venezuela, and Chavez is screwing up a potentially prosperous country.

We are not at war with them now. But he is a guy we should keep a close eye on. Right now he is Castro the Lite version. But he has been getting rather cozy with China and Russia.Let's get this straight..There is this thing called the Monroe Doctrine and I think our President knows want it means.

True. But any military (should we go to war with them. May nto be necesary) travels not on food but logistics. Thats why I felt it was a bigger concern. But we would nail that stuff firs anyway so no biggie.

What's so bad about this deal? I'd rather see Chavez with Spanish military equipment instead of US. Maybe Guatemala will sell Chavez some tanks.

From European Sources means the French and Germans are probably at it again. I would bet this deal doesn't go through or is very much reduced in scope before it's all over.

I wouldn't fret. I suspect this stuff will end up as expensive targets when, and if, the situation warrants. Besides, wasting his money on this weaponry will make it less likely he'll have much maneuvering room in curtailing oil shipments - He'll need the revenue to pay for this stuff he won't know how to use.

More that probably you've already done it since you've supplied guns to groups friendly to ETA like the Nicaraguans or the Afghanis.
Morocco is one of your "preferred allies" in the area and I don't think that's friendly to us either..
You sell guns to our enemies, we sell transport ships and planes to yours...
where's the problem? In fact, in my opinion we are far from the line that you crossed time ago... (that's selling things that actually kill)

Listen Stain your economy is about the same as one of our poor states. Dont destablize our sphere of influence.
To: MARKUSPRIME
re :Dont destablize our sphere of influence.
I have to admit this does make me laugh, because in real political terms American sphere of influence just about covers most of the globe. So no matter what anyone does there is always an American toe you may stand on.
To: MARKUSPRIME
"Listen Stain your economy is about the same as one of our poor states"
You know or you wish?
"Dont destablize our sphere of influence."
If you get destabilized by some transport planes and ships then... aaah forget it, no one is being destabilized here, you simply just can't stand anyone going against your will.
By the way, just add one "l" to the insult you've thrown and you'll have yours...
