Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has called on several South American and Caribbean countries to band together against the U.S. and the evils of capitalism:

Mr Chavez has some key allies in his fight against capitalism, globalisation and the US.

Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua and now the Caribbean island of Dominica are all members of a trade alliance known as the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, a group that takes its name from South America’s independence leader, Simon Bolivar.

Mr Chavez has urged them to draw up a joint defence policy and create a united military force against US imperialism.

“If the US threatens one of us, it threatens all of us,” he said, “we will respond as one.”

Well, someone sounds totally jealous that his country doesn’t have a Manifest Destiny. Whatever. We’re having a Global Domination party and you’re not invited. Colombia is bringing cupcakes. Made of MONEY.
