US rejects Hugo Chavez remarks on Latin America cancer

101. What did I mean?

I meant that Chavez is increasingly erratic and delusional, and is at risk of destroying any good he has done, and needs to step aside voluntarily or otherwise be removed from power. A delusional, paranoid, interpretation of that may be "they're trying to kill me!". As demonstrated.

As far as the imagined US "aggression", it's all pretty much the same pattern, where a US airplane flies near Venezuela, and Chavez freaks out about "being invaded", American intelligence warns Chavez about an internal threat and he declares "the US is trying to assassiinate me"!, an attempted coup take place and Chavez blames the US for it, aid is given to other governments and Chavez interprets it as a personal attack, etc.

It's always about some nefarious, external, threat, because the delusional cannot accept that they are aiding, and indeed, creating, their sense (and thus, their reality) of persecution.
