Criticism of Chavez's military strategy: National fragmentation

No war expert has ever proposed to divide a country to strengthen it, quite the contrary. However, since Chavez came to power in Venezuela, one of his main objectives has been to strictly separate Venezuelans, working to ensure that the population remains divided into two halves that hate each other to death.

Thanks to Chavez, Venezuela is now a fragmented country, protected by an armed force which is no stranger to this national reality, and is therefore also a victim of the chavismo-opposition fight.

Chavez says that one of his intentions is to protect Venezuela from foreign interests, but beyond words, Venezuela is more militarily vulnerable today than in the past, due to the sharp national polarization Chavez has incited among Venezuelans.

Because of the hatred sown by the chavista revolution, with great difficulty an opponent of the current government would go into battle to defend the president, the same who daily takes ruthless measures to destroy the Venezuelans that question him. But also no chavista would be comfortable fighting alongside its hated political opponents.

Defending a country is not simply a matter of spending billions on weapons. A good military strategy does not neglect a key political aspect as national unity.
