@dardingz Whatever John Birch Society. Nobody cares what you say. You're a fossil of nothingness. Goodbye!

Ummm... everybody in America takes oil from Chavez. If you drive a car, you are pumping Venezuelan oil. What's the deal?

If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand—the ultimatum. And what then—when Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically.Reagan-1964

They were then called to Havana, where Castro cynically instructed them in the ways of successful Communist insurrection. He told them to tell the world they were fighting for political democracy, not communism. But most important, he instructed them to form a broad alliance with the genuinely democratic opposition to the Somoza regime.Ronald Reagan-Policy in Central America-1984

Castro explained that this would deceive Western public opinion, confuse potential critics, and make it difficult for Western democracies to oppose the Nicaraguan revolution without causing great dissent at home.You see, that's how Castro managed his revolution. And we have to confess he fooled a lot of people here in our own country, or don't you remember when he was referred to in some of our press as the ``George Washington of Cuba?''Ronald Reagan-Policy in Central America-1984

They followed the advice of Fidel Castro, who told them to put on a facade of democracy. While Castro viewed the democratic elements in Nicaragua with contempt, he urged his Nicaraguan friends to keep some of them in their coalition, in minor posts, as window dressing to deceive the West. ``And that way,'' Castro said, ``you can have your revolution and the Americans will pay for it.'' And we did pay for it. Ronald Reagan-Situation in Nicaragua-1986

More aid flowed to Nicaragua from the United States in the first 18 months under the Sandinistas than from any other country. Only when the mask fell, and the face of totalitarianism became visible to the world, did the aid stop.Castro explained that this would deceive Western public opinion, confuse potential critics, and make it difficult for Western democracies to oppose the Nicaraguan revolution without causing great dissent at home.

Recent developments in Asia and Latin America have provided the Moscow elite with the ability to isolate the United States economically and threaten it militarily. Whatever setbacks Moscow may encounter in Ukraine will be dramatically offset by successes around the world.From Asia to Latin America, Moscow is assembling a coalition of nations which possess much of the world's natural resources and has two-thirds of the world's population.

Oil and weaponry form the basis of Moscow's economic and military appeal to a large portion of the planet. An increasingly virulent strain of anti-Americanism, fueled in part by Moscow, has also aided Russia's efforts.For over a decade, Moscow has supplied Communist China with sophisticated arms and technological training. Many Peoples Liberation Army officers have attended Russian military academies. Russia has also agreed to extend oil pipelines to feed China.
