    The ONLY reason Obumma is seeing this idiot (as he has just proved to the worls) is the fact that “No Money Pepe” is willing to saddle Uruguay with more undesirables (at best) or murdering bastards like him and the Tupas (at the worst).

    Uruguay must be the laughing stock of the diplomatic community.

    Mujica is going to Washington to beg, or maybe trade a bit, if he can get something in return for taking terrorists. If he would reverse most of his policies and let people in Uruguay run their own lives and businesses (rather than government), there would be no need of assistance.

    “Malvinas Islands British occupation a 'latent threat' for Uruguay's defense policy”

    I hope he is stupid enough to bring up the US Congress vote for sanctions against Venezuela.
    That'll be funny.
    Creep.

    Oh goody. Let's take a look at the list and the likely U.S. response.

    “Uruguay is interested in increasing trade is items such as beef, lamb and citrus”. Do you want to import ours or export yours? Nope, nope and nope.

    “Uruguay has been a pioneer in approving legislation to legalize and regulate the planting and selling of marihuana”. In deference to your current position, president pepe, we have let you into the United States. However, you are now on our lists as a narcotics dealer. I understand your “presidency” ends in 2015. If you'd like to visit the United States again you should do it before then. You won't be permitted entry after that.

    “Mujica has said he is willing to help vacate Guantanamo by taking some of the prisoners which have been held for years without process, and are not necessarily dangerous.” That's okay, Pepe, but they have to be kept in custody and shot if they attempt to escape. If you don't like that, they could always “go for a swim”. You understand. We can't release terrorists to a “government” headed by a terrorist, sorry, former terrorist.

    “Mujica is expected to request support from the US in an ongoing litigation with Philip Morris over tobacco packages”. Sorry, no chance. On to the next.

    “Mujica announced in Uruguay he would like to explain to Obama how and why the US has lost influence in Latam”. Sorry, Pepe bro, we already know. You're cowardly, incompetent, ignorant, stupid, undemocratic and weak. Would you like assistance? We could base a number of bombers, combat aircraft and “support” forces in uruguay so that we can hit argieland whenever we want with minimal fuel use. We must be “green”. You'll also need to accept some U.S. advisers in your “government”. About 130 should be enough. They can replace your “General Assembly”. And you get to pay them, at U.S. rates of course without tax deductions, which saves us money!

    Anything else? Bit pushed for time! Have to reorganise U.S. forces to assist our allies wherever.

    Stevie, Caracas is down to water every other day, HIV patients are denied their medicine, the protests continue, US is going to sanction Venezuela,

    I don't have to hope for a collapse of Marxism in South America I only have to watch.

    I wonder when running water will go to every 3 days in Caracas?

    You lot have been saying that for decades. Not even operación Condor served your cause. You are not worried about any patients, water or people doing fine or not in SA. You are merely worried your system will collapse should people open their eyes or get educated.
    You can't stop it, yanqui. You can lobby, intervene, bomb, torture, murder, steal, blame and write your prefabricated history with your manmade gods.

    But you can't stop it.

    We don't have to do anything but watch it collapse. Pretty soon the population will take care of the filthy evil Marxist for us. How long do you think they'll put up with collapsing infrastructure, NO WATER, NO ELECTRICITY, NO FOOD, NO MEDs.
    Not long

    Rumor is we might start providing arms to the opposition

    I wonder what will happen with the protestors are armed as well as the gov't?

    Won't that be fun to watch!!

    That's not arumour, yanqui. It's a fact. You even have millions of dollars budgetted to your Venezuelan cause.
    It didn't help you in the 60's and it wont help you today.
    In the end, you can only stall the process. You are nothing but an annoyance, never understanding how come we don't want what you have to offer.

    Shovel it, yanqui. Choke on it.

    In the meantime, we'll find our way.

    It's all about faith, yanqui.

    Have faith in the global market believing you can pay your debts, otherwise you'll something else entirely crumbling...

    Wanna race?

    I don't need faith I can clearly see Venezuela collapsing. When it goes the rest of ALBA will follow.
    Sheesh there's only a few countries left! Even Norway is having problems keeping up the model with so many immigrants.
    Pretty soon Scandanavia will start pushing them out just like they've done in the past.
    Do you look Swedish Jonathan? If not be careful. They have a nasty little history of getting rid of people who don't look like they think a Swede should look.

    What a weird crazy rant, Stevie. I am sure that you are fu€king insane !!

    BTW, in all your anti-Western rhetoric and drum beating, the one thing you always ignore, if not deride, is compassion for the people living under your regimes.

    As someone once said,

    “Stevie: ideology before people”

    How very very true.

    Ironic when you talk of supporting populist regimes and Peoples' Republics etc.

    “Besides several ministers and business people the delegation also includes ballet school director Julio Bocca”

    Pulling out the 'big guns' on this one, aren't they?

    Nice!
