“Maintenance”
The magic word. I have some engineering background and people just underestimate the ability of a handful of maintenance guys to pull a few fuses and cripple a major industry. You just buy yourself a cot to sleep on and then every once in a while put one fuse in and take another out and you are in fat city. I suspect Hugo is about to find out what crappy maintenance does.
Intriguing. So you think this could fall apart fast? Your background sounds very interesting.
Chavez is working with the Chinese and will likely get their support in this arena.
