This guy, with all his new hardware, is going to be someone we ultimatley have to confront and put down.
His proposal here is eerily similar to the COSAS aliance that establishes itself in South America in my novel:

He can try if he wants. We’ll take both of them at once.
I double dare him.

“This guy, with all his new hardware, is going to be someone we ultimatley have to confront and put down.”
That would occupy Saturday, but what would we do for the rest of the weekend?
To: Jeff Head
Today we could sink the British fleet.
Maybe not with US air support.

America is looking weak for not dealing with this guy, when he seized the our oil company assets there. In front of the world a bully just took something valuable of ours, and we tried to act cool and not notice, but seemed to be shaking inside. It looks to the world we are afraid, or maybe our military too extended so we can’t act.
Because of that others in the world will be more likely to act, thinking we either can’t or won’t step up.

We would need to provide physical, military support. The new Russian SU-30s have the range to interdict the British fleet and could overcome and overwhelm the Harriers on their current carriers.
In a few years when they have the new carriers and the JSFs, that would be a different matter.
I personally believe it is time for a joint UK and US carrier exercise in the carribean to shut this idiot up. One or two of their Invinsible class, and one Nimitz class and their escorts would be all that was needed.

Agreed. It is time we shut this idiot up. Send in a couple of Brit carriers and their excrots escorted by a single Nimitz and her escorts and cruise right off his coast.

Hugo Chavez is talking like a madman. This is what what happens when dictators fall victim to that oldest malady known to their lot - megalomania. He certainly thinks he's surrounded by enemies.

Is this in the same paper that is telling us to get over 9/11?

...and, IMHO, we and the Brits should give it to him. And we should put him down now, as opposed to when other, stronger enemies use him, along with the likes of Iran to bleed and distract us on their terms.

What is the status of the Royal Navy now compared to 1982?
Could the Brits even begin to attempt the same operation today?

One discretely placed JDAM right through his roof.
That should do it.

The UK could do the same. They still have two of their carriers operational, and they have new Amphibious assault ships that are stronger than what they had back then, and decent escorts.
But, if the Venezuelans jumped in with their new high-performance Russian jets and missiles, they would need our help. Those aircraft have the range, the carrying capacity, and the performance to overwhelm the harriers and hurt the Brit task force badly as they pass on their way south.
One Nimitz and its escorts would eliminate all of that though and, if it came to that, IMHO, we should provide it for our allies and help forcefully put down this renegade.

Pipsqueaks like this should be ignored. Not when he is building up the military he is, and with the oil revenue he has.
We should simply call his bluff forcefully and make him look the fool. Send a joint Brit and US Navy carrier task force to the Carribean
If he does nothing, he looks like the loudmouthed, braggard and bafoon he is. If he comes out to play, that force destroys all of his new toys and his capability to house, maintain, produce, and buy more.

(Chavez) declared that British history was stained with the blood of South Americas indigenous people And history has a way of repeating.
