I was worried sick about the militia things but i remember a few months ago the talks about the mandatory military service and well,that didn’t work out. Remember how hard it is for the chavistas to actually put something in motion.

We would hope he did. Only he will not ARM it.
Otherwise, it could be turned AROUND when things got out of hand and assorted thugs and hardcore loyalists began to think of shooting people up.
