it is just sabre ratlling bullshit and button pushing. Now it is cyber warfare as well, and where did FLAME come from? It wasn't freaking Iran or Venezuela. So Iran and Venezuela react as any nation would. It is all the same sort of escalations, all the same sort of bullshit that just feeds on itself and it's just more economic warfare and more Neo-con, Neo-liberal BS.

I mean shit people, Chavez says the same thing about NAFTA as people here do!

Opposition to perceived "neoliberal" globalization

[edit] 2005 UN World Summit

At the 2005 UN World Summit, Chávez on 15 September mocked and denounced the what he perceives to be a neoliberal model of globalization, promulgated by the Washington Consensus, as a fundamentally fraudulent and malicious scheme.[10] Referring to such arrangements as Free Trade Area of the Americas, Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, and the North American Free Trade Agreement, Chávez stated that such

"market-oriented policies, open market policies" were and continue to be ... the fundamental cause of the great evils and the great tragedies currently suffered by the Third World".[10]

Chávez also listed the accomplishments of his social welfare programs:



So which is it people? It's all crackheaded bullshit is what it is. I support globalization myself, but it's being fucked up and I agree with Chavez and a LOT of other people on that. Hell even Ross Perot said the same about NAFTA.

The current 'cold war' approach to globalization we have is complete trash and is about nothing more than exploitation of other peoples and their resources.
