So in the end while Colombia has a major advantage in the number of men currently in uniform the Venezuelans have a very large edge when it comes to military equipment, especially when it comes to the Air Force.
Air superiority trumps everything else in modern war.

"Genocidal" though?  I know the far left like hyperbole as much as the right, but sheesh.  That's like PETA comparing a chicken farm to the holocaust.

Ahh, not hyperbole, just incorrect use of the language.  I guess we can excuse him because it could just be a bad translation.  Genocide, like the oft misused "gulag", has a very specific meaning.  Being dominated by capitalism (whatever that means) isn't genocidal.  Hong Kong was dominated by capitalism for a century and if that's genocide, Darfur is demanding a new diciontary.

What about Star Wars?  The "rebels" are the good guys.  That's got to be a tough one for you. Wink
