From R. Cary Capparelli, Republican primary candidate for the Republican nomination to the US Senate:
GEO-POLITICAL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED FOR HOUSE & SENATE
CHICAGO, IL — R. Cary Capparelli, Republican primary candidate for the U.S. Senate from Illinois, said the apprehension of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela underscores the importance of the geo-political theater for members of Congress and Senate.
Capparelli added that Congress and Senate are overwhelmed by social activists and litigation lawyers that have little or no knowledge of geo-politics.
He continued, “Many lack the understanding that this is a national security issue. Narco-terrorism is a real
problem that has affected many Americans and must be dealt with.”
The candidate, who also co-owned and operated a vineyard in South America, added that there are several nations in Latin America that have Communistic-style leaders that have forged economic and military relationships with adversaries of the United States; including the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation.
“The leftist media has gotten this wrong too as some major news outlets have failed to identify this as a national security matter,” added Capparelli.
Dr. Capparelli, a Professor of Geography at a major Midwestern university, instructs the Geography of China, the Geography of Latin America, and the Geography of Russia which qualifies him as knowledgeable in these integral regional geographies. He also designed a course in Military Geography for another university.
