(62,325 posts)haters, who are mostly Global Corporate thugs who will never get over any Latin American leader deciding that their resources belong to the people of Venezuela and not to these outsider, corrupt institutions that raped every one of those countries dry until leaders like Chavez, one of the most popular leaders in all of Latin America, put a stop to the theft.
It really is very simple. Either you respect the sovereignty of other nations and the choices of their people in some of the cleanest elections ever, or you don't. Looks like our President has chosen to be on the wrong side of history here. Latin America is not going back to the old ways of US backed dictators like Pinochet. Enough time has passed to give them time to consolidate the powers of their various countries which they did with the sole purpose of keeping the old Imperialists out of their business.
So sad, I actually thought that this president would move forward into the future, a future that Latin America has chosen for itself. But apparently not.
