Reply #21: Obama doesn't really need to do anythiing with Latinoamerica

There's absolutely nothing for him to do. Obama should focus on the US economy and getting the US troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and design a foreign policy that's more sensible. For example, why the hell is the US making trouble in places like Georgia?

The Russian Putin is signing these deals with Chavez because he's interested in selling weapons. And he is under pressure from the Americans around his borders, therefore he's just creating some leverage - this is a little tit for tat in response to US's aggressive moves agaisnt Russia. These American aggressive moves are driven by the US desire to put pressure on the Russians to help the US stop the Iranian nuclear power development. They need the Russians to be very flexible and do what the US wants. And why is the US worried about Iran? Iran isn't really developing a nuclear weapon - they are only processing low grade fuel. But the Israelis via the Israel lobby control US foreign policy in the Middle East - Obama is growing a small backbone, but thus far it's very tiny and it's possible only because the Israel stance has insulted the USA and is so absolutely criminal not even a lackey like the US can bend down and bow to Israel's masters of the universe.

So in this game of chess, things are linked, but in the end, Venezuela is just a meaningless pawn being moved by the Russians. They will dump Chavez when the time is ripe. After all, Chavez is a communist. And the Russians are anything but communists now.
