And they equip their military!

You guys are pathetic. Venezuela isn't even close to making the biggest weapons buys in the region and your exporting weapons bs is an AEI fantasy that's been in development for a long time.

AEI OUTLOOK SERIES
Hugo Chávez's Criminal Nuclear Network: A Grave and Growing Threat
By Roger F. Noriega AEI Online
(October 2009)


Hugo Chávez's criminal activities, long the bane of his neighbors in the Americas, have now extended to Iran, where he is aiding that regime's pursuit of nuclear weapons. The U.S. policy of averting our eyes so as not to give him the attention he craves must change. The Obama administration needs to strengthen ties with the friends in the region, bring Chávez's partnerships with Iran to the attention of the United Nations (UN), and engage the Venezuelan people to confront the threat Chávez poses.



Key Points in this Outlook:

*
Hugo Chávez is developing a nuclear program for Venezuela while aiding Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
*
The United States must confront the grave threat posed by Chávez.
*
The Obama administration should strengthen ties with stalwart friends, redouble antidrug cooperation with Africa and Europe, and caution the Venezuelan people on the costs of Chávez's risky behavior.
