No... government pay for school to brainwash your children, you send them to training camps, they get educated with propaganda... you sell your children to the government for a hand out, then they become pawns in their games for the rest of their lives, or they wake up, realize what happened to them, see all the other players on the chess board and realize the vast majority of everything anyone of any supposed position says is propaganda, and worthless.

Argentina has a handful of rusty old boats leftover from the Falklands war, none of which would even be able to spot let alone fight a British nuclear sub.

well kristina is using the tried and true chavez style, uplift the poor and you get the votes, heck most of the voters are poor. Smart and good.
