Rejoice, Venezuela to acquire 55 more Russian helicopters

September 19, 2006

Today the Minister of Defense announced that the Government is considering purchasing an additional 55 Russian heliocpters so that they can keep playng war games.

–I wonder what the people in Vargas state think about this, their state still in shambles after five years and the Government is buying more toys for the military?

–Could they use them to transport the citizens of Vargas to come to work to Caracas? the “trocha” takes two hours each way for them.

–Couldn’t they have used the money to rebuild Vargas?

–How much does one hour of flying these machines cost? Does Chavez know it? (Obviously not, he is all caring and perfect, he would not waste money on this, or a new suit or a new plane or a new watch)

Baduell, the current Minister of Defense is going up in my top ten list of biggest cynics of the Chavez robolution. Of course, the People’s Ombudsman still leads the polls.
