I suggest to mr Maduro to harden the stance towards Washington, Chavez in fact was to soft with Washington. "you do not go to war to create peace" however in what Washington is concern, you must look for alliances, open a nuclear base for ICBM, topol missiles in Venezuela, give access to Russian nuclear submarines on the caribbean, cooperate and create a South american union with the people not the elites servants of wall street and the world bank, sever ties with the IMF. explain this logic to the whole population not just of Venezuela but the whole of south america, do the same with the Canadian Mexican and american citizens, forget OBAMA, congress and Washington, talk to the people use, the media the proper way, use TELESUR to explain the logic clearly, and make american citizens understand your intend. forget governments, talk to the people, enhance your mobile and technological capabilities "smartphones etc" cooperate with china, and do it wisely as china is on a paradox at the moment and they do not really know how to behave diplomatically, you can become the third voice of consensus negotiate always negotiate, but do not give one nano-meter to Washington credence, understand Washington politicians are in fact savages, uncivilized folks so treat them as such, with care patience and understanding as they are below normal, civilized beings. just act wisely. and take the opportunity now as the whole population of south america has become ONE, thanks to Chavez death, he has become the Jesus Christ of south american people, therefore his crucifiction has an intend as it has a reason.
and explain to Washington that (You do not go to war to have peace" )
