VENEZUELA-US: Craddock raises squall with his anti-Aspa bid
When the chief of the US Southern Command, General Bantz Craddock, chose to use scare tactics to try to persuade US senators that sanctions against countries refusing to sign bilateral immunity agreements (BIAs) were counterproductive, several legislators and US media reacted by emphasising the scare elements and all but forgetting the sanctions. Lateral effects were a Venezuelan statement that the US was 'militarising' its policy towards Latin America, and one from the Chinese government saying it knew nothing about a Venezuelan plan to buy arms from China.
