ReplyDeleteA lot of people count "power" by things like how many tanks and bombers and troops a country has; but what they don't understand is that the true power of a country is the will of its people.
As long as a country is large enough, with enough resources -- and Venezuela and the ALBA contries are much larger and better-developed than little Grenada or Panama, or poor Haiti -- its people will eventually defeat any imperialist aggression. Especially in this "21st" Century.
