Better Not Lick the Paint Job
So Hugo Chavez is buying Chinese combat planes. How is that like the opposite of threatening? I'm sure the Chinese combat planes are very reasonably prices, but we're all quite familiar with Chinese workmanship these days. I'm guessing if you're evil and can't afford old Russian surplus, China is the way to go.
Still, what if Chavez attacks the U.S. with his planes and they crash all over America? If they stay up long enough for us to shoot them down, do we have to worry about the lead in them getting airborne? Some things to worry about.
