Here's the story:
President Chávez is kicking off an 11-day trip to Russia, Belarus, Syria, Algeria, Libya and Iran. There's not much to say about this aside from the usual: that a Bolivarian frequent flyer program must be in the offing...that he's a master of distraction...that the only common thread here is anti-Americanism...that the inclusion of at least half of those countries actually demeans Hugo's stature as a global wheeler-dealer more than it bolsters it...that his acceptance of Russian military encroachment on South American soil while rejecting U.S. military collaboration with Colombia is disingenuous to say the least...
As I said, nothing but the usual shenanigans. What we can't quite nail down here though is this: which of the following videos is the most appropriate for setting the theme of Hugo's 11-nation tour?
Or is there a third that we've failed to take into account?
