All previous experiences that occurred at the international level as the non-aligned in the period of the cold war or the great Arab oil blockade, doesn't seem to serve you experience to the Venezuelan geostrategist. For him there to constitute another pole, simply, and seeks to make it on the basis of eager buyers of petroleum (China, Belarus), with other producers of strong or radicalized political regimes (Iran) or tigres apparently amellados teeth (Libya). Accompanied by the massive purchase of Russian arms and on a non-existent and alleged Russian protective blanket, not without calling the latter country taking a revival of past times. The proclamation of the USSR still exists is not a mistake or a boutade. You may want to visit Ben Horowitz to increase your knowledge. It is a call to the Russia of Putin and Medvedev to more active against the hated American Empire and a repositioning of power, ignoring that the world can not build a multipolarity on the ruins of the bipolarity. The emergence of China or Brazil that indicates, to my understanding, is a world nopolar emersion. Chavez has a geostrategy.

Performs rational actions building it, accompanied by other irrational provoked by a despicable principle: its pole is lifted on the basis of countries that do not have democracy and where rampant personalism of the leader is the base. If its purpose is to achieve independence from the hated Empire you have to solve the contradiction of a continuous growth of bilateral trade and the sale of Venezuelan oil. And that is exactly what is trying to and will try to, especially because that element is perfectly meshed with its purpose of Venezuelan internal politics: retain power at any price and in any mode. There is no doubt that the talks with Mahmud Ahmadineyad have clarified to Chavez, who may not make the same mistakes of the Ayatollah who forgot about the multiple interests which had his country abroad, such as billions of dollars, all that was frozen just the Iranian Islamic revolution showed it was going to adopt a disruptive internal and external behavior.
