Thanks for Useful Article and for the ...Mr Weeks :<br /><br />Thanks for Useful Article and for the Links.<br /><br />Using those Links, I finally got these numbers for Percentages of Trust in the Military.<br /><br />Colombia 65.6%<br /><br />Nicaragua 61.5% <br />Ecuador 56.9%<br />Bolivia 54.9%<br />Venezuela 54.5%<br /><br />So the Chavistas and their Minions have failed in producing Trust in the Military, after so much Demagoguery, Populism, and Idiotic Jingoism, Nationalism, and Chauvinism ( That is what Latin Americans call PATRIOTERISMO or Idiotic Patriotism ), the use of a foreign strawmen or bogeymen to induce National Pride and Agression Instincts against other nations.<br /><br />It helps to have a punching bag.<br /><br />Unleashing an Arms Race and Idiotic Military Parades don't persuade the People. <br /><br />The "Bolivarian" Revolution is a Failure and a Great Deception based on Squandering Billions of PetroDollars. A more fortunate nation would have built a Great Consumer Industrial Complex and Great Agricultural Development.<br /><br />But Venezuela has squandered hundreds of Bilions of Dollars in Useless Projects and luxury expenses of "Red Shirts", and the sycophants of Chavez. ( Ten or more Marshall Plans ). Throwing money upon ignorants without experience in business or projects. What do they do with the Government Money ??? .... Buy expensive Cars, Vans, SUVs, and live in luxury.<br /><br />The apotheosis of Lavishness and Sumptuosity, while the Criminal Indexes are the worst in Latin America, and poverty is very evident in Venezuela.<br /><br />A stupid control of prices bring scarcity of the most basic foodstuffs.<br /><br />The Narcos and Mafias are advancing and every day many corpses are thrown on the countryside.<br /><br />Studying Foreign Policies around the World and mapping the Future :<br /><br /><a href="http://prophesizing.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Prophesizing.com</strong></a><br /><br />Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.com
