      <description><![CDATA[Still not fully incorporated and yet he's already announced a Mercosur military pact and labelled a fellow member a pro-yank enclave and enemy.

You've gotta love Hugo.

NB Where is his evidence that Paraguay wanted a bribe or did he just make that up?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I think he thought out loud again, just like the cancer inducing machine he thinks the yanks have. Total uneducated idiot, though with Paraguay going to arbitration he should'nt count his chickens before they hatch. Would be an interesting smack in the face for Hugo & CFK should the ruling go against them.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[@8 Simon: Like!

But the world would be a duller place without him. He is great comedy value, a reliable clown. I love the way he "orders" things to be done. Like the way he ordered the setting up of a car factory to make cars affordable for all Venezuelans. I think they made a few hundred that all broke down before they got to the forecourt and were way more expensive than better imports. Imagine a Caribbean built Lada and you get the picture.

Go Hugo! The silver lining to your cloud is that you are a living example of how to squander wealth and opportunity. Your legacy will be studied all over the world. It just won’t be the legacy you wished for.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[18: Max uses time-tested propaganda tactic "whataboutism" that emerged most prominently during Soviet era but still handy to seek to divert focus today. 

The goal of whataboutism, not to be confused with an appropriate comparison, isn't to convince those directly debating the issue, but to create doubt in third-party audiences.

So if the issue diverts to become a comparison of violent criminality (it isn't), a suitable whataboutism rejoinder could be to see that Venezuela's homicide rate is far higher than that of the United States.
