Trouble Brewing in South America
The presence of two Russian Tu-160 strategic bombers in Venezuela is a "warning" to the U.S., President Hugo Chavez said yesterday, as Washington said it was monitoring the deployment. "It's a warning. Russia is with us. ... We are strategic allies. It is a message to the empire. Venezuela is no longer poor and alone," Mr. Chavez said. The Venezuelan president had announced Wednesday that two Russian bombers were in Venezuela for "training flights" and that he would be piloting one of the jets himself.
Meanwhile, in solidarity with the populists in Bolivia, Chavez has withdrawn the Venezuela ambassador from the US and is expelling the US ambassador from Venezuela.

MOSCOW - Russia could point missiles at strategic US targets in central Europe, including planned American missile shield sites in Poland and the Czech Republic, a senior Russian general said Wednesday.
"I can't exclude that if such decisions are taken by our military-political leadership, the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic and other such objects could be chosen as designated targets for some of our inter-continental ballistic missiles,"
so much for the u.s. missile defense "shield"!
i remember last winter, chavez offerred fuel-oil to the low income families of the american north east - his offer was rebuffed by the bushco organization.
