I agree Itemus....I hope some Russian Company has already signed papers to buy out KRY, otherwise they may very well have second thoughts on this very loose cannon Chavez. I don't think even the Russians would go this far. Their too smart.

Chavez is doing this for emotional reasons, without enough thought into the consequences. At some point it doesn't matter that they don't do things the 'western' way, and we just have to let him do it.....He HAS to deal with the rest of the world for trade, and as you say, he's backing himself in a corner, and will soon have any hope of escape cut off.

This is looking to be a better book and movie than it was just a couple weeks ago !!!

Think it will be one of the top 10 movies of 2011?
