hugo chavez critical condition

http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/new...ition-in-cuba/

Just curious, with the knowledge of chavez's support with farc, and ties with Qud forces, can we expect to see a quick repeal of these two groups should new leadership take over? With qud being there, that means hezbolla has followed and the less support they have the better.. any thoughts?

Thanks!

Worked alot in Venezuela, both before and after Chavez becoming president. Venezuela, fortunately, is not Cuba. If he dies, the likelihood of Venezuela coming out of its coma is very possible, if not probable.

and

http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/201...south-america/

Sorry did not mean to insert hezbollah into the conversation this much, just something that has worried me for a few years now.

Hard to say. Chavez has set up an autocratic dictatorship in a fairly democratic country. He has purged anyone who he sees as a threat and not really cultivated a successor because he is a megolomaniac. Things will be rough for awhile, but, I think, Venezuela will do oaky. Best thing that could happen to them is for him to bite the bullet.

No matter how we feel about another human being we should be sympathetic to their conditions.
I hope he dies a painful commie death.
I'm sure no one in Venezuela sees any irony in him going elsewhere for his healthcare.

When I saw that he went to Cuba for treatment I laughed, it speaks volumes for the Venezuelan healthcare system.

Cuba's sucks, too-but neither Sean Penn nor Danny Glover were able to get Chavez admitted to any US hospitals, evidently.

Cuba has some pretty good Med facilities that they built to bring in foreign dollars. That's the facility fat ass dip shit Michael Moore visited.
It is a straight cash for service Hospital and only for foreigners...Cubans are not allowed there they have to go to the 'free' 3rd world clinics operated for the locals.
Hmmm, so let's see...the capitalist run Cuban helathcare is excellent but only for those that can pay.
The Commie healthcare sucks bigtime but it is 'free'.....
Course, that could never happen here.
