” Chavez Saber-Rattling Doesn’t Mean War “
I’ve seen a lot of this “whistling past the graveyard” sentiment the past couple of days.....
Situations involving massed troops along borders tend to take on a life of their own — even if Hugo doesn’t actually *intend* to enter armed conflict at this time, any small incident can - and will - spiral out of control...
And, to be sure, I’m not as sanguine about Hugo’s intentions, or lack thereof, as are most of the commentators — it’s time to blow the dust off of one of my favorite cautionary aphorisms: “Never assume that your enemy is making the same calculations that you are..”
Could be.
I don’t “know” the situation and players there yet so I’m just gathering “data points” right now.
