Smile Russia To Send Military To Venezuela For a Joint Military Exercise In The Caribbean

This is great idea.
I am sure in the future out good friend Hugo will build anti-US (anti-American Empire) military alliance in Latin America.




From ABC News:

Monday, September 08, 2008 | 11:09 AM


MOSCOW -- Russia said Monday it will send a naval squadron and anti-submarine patrol planes to Venezuela this year for a joint military exercise in the Caribbean, a deployment that comes amid increasingly tense relations with the United States.

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said the exercise was planned before Russia's war last month with Georgia "and it's unrelated to the current political situation and the developments in the Caucasus."

"If this exercise takes place, it won't be directed against interests of any third party," Nesterenko said at a briefing.

The announcement was made just a week after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would mount an unspecified response to recent U.S. aid shipments to Georgia.

We mess in theirs, so there's nothing wrong with them messing in ours.

Except we are a Hyperpower with majour powers France,Germany and Britain in their Hemisphere. It is in our power to increase our influence, while Russia should really look into modernising its Airforce and Troop carriers anything beyond a tiny country is beyond the capabilities of the Russian army.

The fact that North Pole Resident thinks this is newsworthy is amusing.

First of all, the US conducts military exercises all over the world many times a year and American's don't make a fuss about it because its something we just do.

Second, Venezuela is doing this because the US recently reestablished the 4th Fleet which operates around South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Venezuela thinks the fourth fleet is a threat to them. Which is dumb for 2 reasons:
1) There are no new vessels, 4th fleet is just taking over the command of the vessels that were already there.
2) The missions of the 4th fleet are: support for peacekeeping, Humanitarian Assistance, Disaster Relief, traditional maritime exercises, and counterdrug support operations
