Over the border say Peru where the tear gas cannisters came from in Honduras? It's one thing to be pacifist (and I do believe that the Morales government is genuine in that desire) and another to blind and stupid. If left to their own devices I am sure that would be the case but the US has never left any nation to develop freely. It is a long list of US invasion and 'intervention'. A list Morales and co. are all too familiar with.
And you think, Magda, that buying some K-8 planes will stop the gringos?...some guns or whatever?......
Maybe you don't notice yet, but good old days when heroic and barely armed gerrilleros can stop a modern army has gone a long time ago.
Gringos now doesen't need to be in the field to kill you, so you don't even have the chance to have a target. They just place a Reaper drone some miles over your head, they can search, track and kill you without notice, day and night, all weather condition. And that job is carried by an officer sitting in a confortable executive chair, with air-conditioned and Mozart music, living in a suburban house of any american city. He can shoot his missiles against you and go to dinner to his house, kiss his wife and daugther and feed his cat.
Those weapons are not for them. They are useless. Not even the powerful Sukhois buyed by Chavez (spending thousands of millions) can have a chance against american weaponry.
Those weapons are used as a disuasive threatening against any possible internal opposition. They are saying: "obey ME, or ELSE".
Maybe during cold war we were important for the gringos, but today they don't even care about us. They are happy maintaining as friends and partners only few countries in the world. They learn they don't need more.
In America: Canada, Mexico and Colombia are top countries for gringos. Venezuela is important as long Chavez keep selling oil to them.
Second line are Brazil, Chile and maybe Argentina. The rest of us can go to hell.
