Venezuela President Hugo Chavez confirmed Monday that he and his Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos are "new best friends."
"He has said that I am his new best friend and today I say the same: President Santos is my new best friend," Chavez was quoted saying by the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN) (http://www.avn.info.ve/node/27358).
Chavez responded to comments by Santos, who on Sunday called the Venezuelan head of state his "new best friend" (http://www.eltiempo.com/politica/ARTICULO-WEB-NEW_NOTA_INTERIOR-8302260.html) and said relations between the two neighboring countries "are on the right track."
The Venezuelan president, on an official visit to Cuba, agreed with Santos and said that both countries were obliged to come to terms with the other, despite their difference in political ideology.
"As Santos said himself, they will not get us off track, even though operations to do so have begun. The empire [the United States] and its lackeys will not rest from forcing us to fight," Chavez said.
"The Yankee empire has not lost interest in Latin America; this is the region they call their influence. Because of this we are forced to consolidate unity," the Venezuelan president explained.
Colombia and Venezuela are in the process of normalizing ties that were cut by Venezuela in July following accusations by the administration of former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe that Venezuela was harboring leftist Colombian guerrillas on its soil.

The question is who forwarded his hands first? Santos of Chavez? And whether the price of the friendship is paid by secret joint operations against FARC rebels? Another question is who will be more angry by this kind of moves? The Latin American armed guerrilla forces or the US empire?
REMEMBER THE NON AGGRESSION PACT BETWEEN USSR AND NAZI GERMANY.

I'd like more militancy from chavez,meaning i d like him to treat other cappie and corrupted states the way they need to be treated by "socialists' ones,and not just the US.

But i don't know details about the aggression levels in the area,so i dunno.

That would be suicidal. Venezuela (even with Cuba, Bolivia together) don't have the military power to militarily combat imperialism and imperialist allies aren't limited only in Latin America. There spread all over the world, in Asia, Africa.
DON'T TRY TO BITE MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW.

Actually,its not secret at all. That was the price of the friendship.The combined forces against FARC.

What happened between USSR and Hitler was a short truce in order for them to get prepared for the upcoming attack. But I have serious doubts that Chaves has the radical nature or the cohones of Stalin.

Actually,Santos is a rotten dictator worse than Pinoset. Only in the last year there were 30 murders against activists in Colombia.You dont consider this fucker your "best friend" whatsoever.

No friend. Chave's handshakes and laughs with Hillary,thats politics. Chasing together FARC with the fascists,is pure stupidity.

[KurtFF8]

To what extent is Chavez actually helping to combat the FARC though. And he once was actually aiding them, has that actually taken a complete turn in the opposite direction especially considering Chavez's continued Left turn?

I am glad to see Anarchists defending a Marxist-Leninist group like the FARC though ;) (okay okay, sectarian jab, sorry)

That was the thing that sparked their friendship.Plus, some time ago, Chavez adivsed FARC to give up the armed struggle.

And I m not an anarchist.

Okay but what has this translated to in terms of actual material support for the FARC by Chavez's government? After it was exposed that Venezuela helped (to some extent) the FARC, did they actually stop? Or was it more of a political gesture for Chavez to say that?


And I m not an anarchist.

Sorry, although you posting this as a response to this story probably confused me:
