After buying Argentine debt, can Venezuela expect reciprocal help from Argentina, now that it is broke?

Question

Do the Kirchners and Argentina love Chavez or do they just like taking advantage of his stupidity?..

Answer 1

First of all, Venezuela is not broke. They still have plenty of oil and oil prices are still high. what happens in Venezuela is the misuse of funds and the use of price controls that make foodstuffs and everyday articles scarce.

Second, Chavez is looking for subscribers to his "anti-imperialist" new socialist view and is willing to pay for it. Argentina needed the money and was willing to pay lip service to Chavez's view. If tomorrow Chavez needed help, I'm sure Argentina and the Kirchners would do nothing to help.
