Russia draws closer to Venezuela

[spartan2600]

@mw2master1997 Are you proud that other people around the world are terrified of the US army and the massive violence it causes?

[stykan]

omg the russian war ship is AWESOM :O

[williamss666]

wtf!? anybody thinks that USA is scared of russia (and other reds)

--> bullshit!

[spartan2600]

@williamss666 Did you know the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore?

[raday11]

@williamss666 nobody think evrybody knows that for shure!

[marcusos1111]

if the US wanted to fuck my country up i would be more than glad to call russia for help : )

[dearrebata]

Russia, be welcome :)

From Venezuela

[TaedetSe]

Saber rattling is old hat...remeber this you Venezuelan fools; Russia needs you for a single purpose- to mpiss of America. When the time comes for them to dump you, like they dumped Cuba, you will have Hugo and his empty promises.

Its all about the Big Boys...and that doesn't include your Third Woirld cesspool of a country...

[zekes1985]

no one dumped cuba

the ussr fell apart ....

[SovietWarrior]

About dumping - tell that to old pals of US, Suharto and Saffam Hussein.

Yanks had no problem dumping them when they lost value.

Any leader with some brain should stay away from the bandits in Washington.

[fanofrhymeswithstar]

Include Ferdinand Marcos on that list of pals dropped by the US...

...He said no too many times to the US and also let a Soviet Navy warship dock in Manila Bay for repairs, further infuriating the Americans.

...And the result: No more permanent US military bases in the Philippines & ironically more corruption today than when Marcos (also corrupt) was in power.

Maybe it's a good thing that the US now has good competition. They might wise up and actually start treating others better!

[carloswigan]

And Georgia, and Apartheid South Africa and the Taliban and the Argentinians! The septics drop 'friends' like nobody elses business!

[saludandotti]

Hey Stupid son of a Bitch America is the Continent ignorant not a Country. It's the Unite states of North America. Cock sucker.

[usarelnombre]

DOWN WITH THE USA!!!!

[boeing0417]

Stupid americans, venezuela is trying to defend itself and not be stupid like america and start problems with the most powerful countrys in the world. Instead they are trying to be allies with russia and china and not be nuked. ever hear of citgo. thats venezuelan gas

[iamveryangery777]

america will be destroyed by my proud leader lucifer and his son antichrist if the jewish zionist attack iran or venuazala fuck israel and zionism and nazi jew u.s goverment run by zionists

[noir0222]

pendeho

[daduia]

tell me this: WHY RUSSIA WANT TO HAVE NUCLEAR AND BIG BOMBS IN VENEZUELA AND NEAR CUBA, WHY DOES RUSSIA WANT THIS BOMBS THERE ??

[enchilada01]

unfortunately its all about a chess game, the U.S. places missiles here, the Soviets counteract placing misiles there, the U.S. makes an ally here, the Soviets make an ally there

[enchilada01]

I think chavez should concentrate more on health and food supplies in Venezuela than buying weapons that just consume much needed resouurces. On the other hand I see the Russians asserting their influence in U.S. backyard, the Soviets need to fill in the void left by the U.S.

[polygamous1]

If they spend their money on health education n other much needed services they be totally open to US aggression n so called regime change if they want their freedom they have to buy it at all cost even the georgian minister of defence IS an israeli with an Israeli passport n we all know how many they murdered until the us get another Lincon or st least a Kennedy the us will be run by international bankers using the us for their own bwnwfit n making the US the most hated nation since the nazis

[sonyavsystem]

Hugo Chavez is a good man. I hope the Venezuelen people keeps voting him into office until old age!

[polygamous1]

n they have a better voting system than the AIPEC RUN US system everybody is worried about us now mainly cause of the thugs now Running america let the yanks run america n it be a different ball game better for the americans better for the world

[romanogotem]

GRINGOS IGNOTANTES! ESO ES LO QUE SON.

[liquidkkk]

Cuba wins thanks to the embargo is prepared for the crisis the United States is not prepared.

[nmcnmb]

Russia is no friend to the U.S.

Chavez should be taken out.

[kuntsavage]

yah then america can steal there oil and kill all you natives down there too there gona need em tanks and ships.

[nmcnmb]

kuntsavage..

Excellent idea!

I like the way you think.

[kuntsavage]

yah i heard there making friends with iran they could send some guys to venezuela and lauch some sort of mumbai styled attack then they be really fucked.

[americanwarrior81]

when they get to our soil i will be fucking ready

[cortezawwris]

To eat a hamburger and go back to watching American idol on Tv. While you should be focusing on education instead. What are we Americans? we do just invade other nations and launch aggression like you do.

[americanwarrior81]

if that is who you think is writing this...you're right. hamburgers are good. American idol sucks, but I'll watch hannity's America, or Glenn beck. and you have to be aggressive, apathy and a copasetic attitude is the virus of this country, you take your freedom for granted, know nothing of history and welcome "change" well you might get it.

[YuriKenobi]

Has any more solid information on these purchases surfaced yet?

[methuselus]

China draws closer to African nations. Remember, natural resources are most abundant in Africa.

[Killazer]

China gets more resources from Africa, Russia keeps the US in check from south america, and the USA keeps eating hamburgers and killing jihadis in Iraq while its economy shrinks.

[Alexopolux]

I´m scared. One step more in increasing the likelihood of human anhilitation. If we can survive this reacomodation of power I will go back to my christian beliefs.

[antiparticlesteve]

USA ECONOMY RIP

[antiparticlesteve]

USA Fuck off! This is not your buisness, You no longer run the show. USA SUPERPOWER RIP.

[javycarrasco]

After the U.S. invaded Iraq, no such people safe from a invacion by oil, which is why I do not understand when another says "that the U.S. does not invade Venezuela" after the invacion, which exists in the world is a sensation insecurity, and it is not by terrorists but by terrorists in the name of freedom kill.

invacion Iraq (oil)

threats to iran (oil)

Threats to venezuela (oil country)

That coincidence ....? All countries are oil, why not go somewhere else ....?

[hugocaracas2021]

Jajajaja, yes we much enoying Commander Chávez here in the aBolivarian Repúblic! Chávez have 60% majority after 10 years - that alone says much about our glorious leader. And you know what? I had no job and no future under previous governments. Now I have a house, two new cars and a real good buusiness. Yes, Venezuela is looking justfine, except if you watch diarrea Fox News or CNN. As for the USA health care - God help you. Here we have excelent health care and now insurance

[uselessposts]

Chavez isn't spending any money to upkeep the oil extraction infastructure-Venezuela will run out of money because they can't extract and sell oil for a profit when the price drops below 100 US$.Chavez is possibly even stupider than Bush.

[RegularFool]

Venezuela will need to control their people. The Russians will help to control their people. The people of Venezuela need to be controlled by the Russians. Let the Russians control the people of Venezuela as they need contolling. The Russians should be on the streets of Venezuela to maintain control of the people. It's all about control and they need control so get control at a store near you. ROFLMAO

[ehunter2]

Hows that Revolution for the People going

leftist trash? Chavez Personality Cult

spends billions that could be used for the people on keeping himself in power.

Enjoy! You deserve this piece of shit.

[Webins]

I understand the need for buygin weapos to f=defend oneself, but it seems like such a waste of money. Venezuela is not under military threat by the U.S. (maybe other kinds of threats, but not military), so why spend all that money.

I think this was done as just a way to get closer to Russia, which is fine, but I still say the money could have been better spent another way.

[Knightshield]

Just glad Latin America is finally standing back up on it's fleet instead of having the US running their lives (to note they didn't want that in the first place anyway)

[arsenalforever31]

it seems thar all of america's allies are going back to the russians because they actually keep their word.

[thelastemperor909]

russia !!! hell yea. usa is going down now we r tyrants im not a proud american

[88a]

Fuck America...its lost...now Pakistan will also leave US...Final nail in the coffin!

[88a]

Looks like the all mikes will go into the Generals mouth...hahahaaha lol

lol

[bluenote71]

It would be awesome if Canada joined forces with Russia :)

[pretsel23]

thats what im talking about

[pongman]

Lol, way to go Georgie! You know George we could have sold our weapons to Venezuela but no you shit head you had to open your mouth and tell Chavez where to go. Can't wait for Bush and Cheney to finally get the hell out of the White House.

[teemuruskeepaa]

It is scary when hemispheres have opposing postures

[moakley]

hang on wont all gear be in russian?

[drbroccoli1]

It is possible to translate the russian language into other languages...

[moakley]

i have a feeling the tanks are secound hand. I get where your comming from though.

[RICK360000]

you have to hand it to Chavez he told the Americans to piss off and dispite attempts on his life they were not successful. Way to go Chavez

[wnxsilence]

We will help the Venezuelan people defend themself against the American imperialists.

Long live Comrade Chavez! Russia is with you!

[navtel]

go for them.. every country should have a right to defend itself.. america has spun their story for too long and the world is tired of it.. venezuela would never prove a military force so let it be..

[kjpdqpb]

Hell I'm American and I'm tired of it. We have a country in the US right now being run by heartless accountants that see only #'s. Cause and Effect. They prey on the Christian voting base in the US, 120 million strong, using them as the votes that power their "crazy" bus, while actually having ZERO morality or sense of humanity at all. They offer loans, create debt, and in essence, enslave the population. Proof that the government has been compromised? The CIA.

They answer to no one.

[baidawi]

Best comment here. Quoted for truth.

[ls1z28chris]

This is pathetic. We (the U.S.) push everyone away and alienate them because we think we are all powerful and can rule the world. And how does the world respond? Those we have alienated find refuge in the company of one another and start trading weapons systems.

[BudaTomu]

ajajaajjajajaj como se deben estar cagando los putos yankis de mierda que todabia piensan cosas como "los sobieticos de ipnotizan para hacerte un zombie soldado =O" jajajjaja como me cago en eeuu

[BabyEagle4U]

interesting  ... I always did want to marry a Russian.

[rodneykingstrikesbck]

Leave it to General Jesus...

[jen472]

Based on Georgia's little stunt (That I'm sure we had nothing to do with, ya right) I don't blame them either. What a botch job, can these neocons do nothing right?

[Bocbo]

They seem to be pretty good at stealing elections and robbing the middle class.

[jen472]

Bocbo: True Enough.

[1indianscout]

Something about blacks and brown that white americans don't like, I guess they're afraid they're about to become a minority according to recent reports......

[1indianscout]

They have OIL there! and they're brown too...

[piratakamrata]

So, what do the venezuelans need firepower for?

[connielane]

They probably feel they need protection against US aggression! Can't blame them for that based on the behavior of current administration. They have OIL there!

[piratakamrata]

a-ha, of course... Oil.

[pablosiddiqui]

protection against the neocons...

[fc196582]

Russia, China, Venezuela and Iran that's a lot of people, Military and resources Our Government needs to back up and Stop supporting Israel and take care of it's own!!! P.S.Funny! In all my Geography books Spain isn't in South America

[spanishaustralian]

the world is dividing up this could be dangerous. im moving to mars.

[5starrater1]

can I come?

[piratakamrata]

Oh good, Can I come with you?

[RAPMONSTAR]

its not in south america????????

[abilityoflove]

Cold War 2.0 leads to WW 3.0

[AiresQX4]

PNAC or

"The new American century" Neocon agenda that was written before 911 called for the takeover of Iraq,Iran,Pakistan,Afghanistan­,Venezuela and Syria. So this is not surprising! I was actually wondering how they were going to get Venezuela involved..

[wcarlpdrysdale]

pardon me while I bomb your people, I'm just looking for weapons of mass dest-,,, aaa,,, petrol dollar hegemony

[permanentkick]

The Venezuelans will quickly come back to preferring the Yankees over the "Vodka Gringoes"

[rightisleftupisdown]

permanentkick, your comment "The Venezuelans will quickly come back to preferring the Yankees over the "Vodka Gringoes" " is it going to take as long as the Cuda's aversion to Jack daniels.

[RAPMONSTAR]

LOL

[uselessposts]

Oh yes-the cuban people live soooo well under Castro and no one is making rafts out of 40 year old raincoats to escape thru shark infested seas.

[Shugosaurus]

Rauol is in charge now

[spartan2600]

actually, all Cubans have access to free healthcare, in staunch contrast with the US, where 40 million people have NO healthcare. Cuban healthcare is far better than none at all. Also, infant mortality is lower in Cuba than in the US, which is pretty incredible. The biggest thing hurting the Cuban people right now is the US embargo, which is the worst embargo in the world. No medicine, disaster aid, food, building materials, or even funds are allowed into Cuba, and it has a brutal effect.

[k4x9]

40 million out of 300+ million. Um...so take 260 million peoples good health-care away so we can all have crap health-care.

And how many people out of this "40 million" don't want or need health care. I know I am one.

And what state does not have some kind of medicaid now? This federal healthcare thing is a non-issue.

[spartan2600]

You really don't think you need healthcare? I'd like to ask you that again when you are bankrupt, lost your home, and are having your wages garnished after a minor car accident.

Healthcare bills are the number one cause of personal bankruptcy in the US. In the UK, nobody ever has to pay a SINGLE bill.

[letherden]

you're saying cuba has crap health care??? thats bullshit and you know it.

[uselessposts]

Don't you mean all Cubans have access to imaginary healthcare?All Cubans don't even have access to food.People are about as free as they are in North Korea.Take a vacation there and tell the world how wonderful it is comrade.Communism is a failure.

[hugocaracas2021]

How many times you been to Cuba? Try going beofre you shoot your mouth off.

[uselessposts]

Been twice for holidays-nice place but the people are incredibly poor-Castro is a failure and if Chavez doesn't smarten up he'll be guilty of an even bigger failure.

[spartan2600]

Cuba is much, much freer than NK. still, the Cuban does have political prisoners. again though, the most serious crimes that occur in Cuba take place in Guantanamo.

You really have no clue when it comes to the Cuban healthcare system. educate yourself.

[uselessposts]

"The most serious crimes...At Guantanmo Bay?"That is a breathtakingly ignorant remark.

[spartan2600]

I hope you aren't another 'torture-denier.' Castro throws people in jail, but he has the civility not to torture them.

[uselessposts]

Castro doesn't torture people????Again a profoundly ignorant statement.The cuban government has a well deserved reputation for obscene human rights abuses.Castro is no different than Hitler.

[hugocaracas2021]

Ha, Castro torture people for sure, but you need disciplibe to have a revolution. Bush's regime have tortured many people as well don forget - probably more than in Cuba. Chávez stupide than Bush? You don know what your talk about. Chávez is extremely astute politician - that why he so popular still. Bush is just a dumbass manipulated by the ultra right. They say every people gets te President they deserve..

[spartan2600]

Perhaps Castro tortured people in the past, shortly after the revolution. Everyone knows Guevara has crimes of his own. What matters is what Bush and Castro are doing now- and Bush is far worse than Castro in regards to political prisoners and torturing.

[letherden]

the human rights abuses that cuba gets criticised for, are solely to do with the way it puts limits on freedom of speech. there is no evidence that they ever used torture

[spartan2600]

thank you for clarifying.

[polygamous1]

they get critisized cause some ignorant folks think THREY run Gitmo n have innocent people shackled in chains for years

[maximos718]

Not correct, sir. Just ask Mr. Mario Chanes de Armas, who was imprisoned for 30 years in Cuba and actually fought alongside Castro after sailing from Veracruz to topple the Batista regime. You, sir have a lot to learn about Cuba.

[letherden]

and I, SIR, am female! thanks, SIR, for the sexism. SIR.

we were talking about torture, not about whether its acceptable to send people to prison for opposing their govt, which is considered a breach of human rights but is not torture. as for your condescension and assumptions about me, i find it arrogant and obnoxious-we all have much to learn about many things, but usually what we think we "know" is actually determined by what we want to believe and that's true for you too. SIR.

[maximos718]

Precisely lil' missy. We ARE talking about torture! Mr. Chanes was tortured continuously and repeatedly during his 30 year sentence. What I and he "know" is that there is PLENTY OF EVIDENCE that Cuba has systematically employed and condoned the use of torture. As for my condescension and arrogance you need not thank me.. they come without charge. Gracias!

[maximos718]

Not correct, sir. Just ask Mr. Mario Chanes de Armas, who was imprisoned for 30 years in Cuba and actually fought alongside Castro after sailing from Veracruz to topple the Batista regime. You, sir have a lot to learn about Cuba.

[spartan2600]

You are claiming Castro tortures people? According to who or what? Castro No Different than HITLER??? Even the most anti-Castro politicians and academics would disagree with that. Are all communists like Hitler in your viewpoint? Back up you malicious claims.

[permanentkick]

Don't you mean,"According to whom...?"Yes the communists differ little from the facists although the facists are sharper dressers.

[spartan2600]

"the facists are sharper dressers."

Excellent point.

[letherden]

you mean the embargo is pretty successful. they struggled to get enough food during the oil crisis from 1992-6, now they are nearly self sufficient and 90% of their food is organic. i have visited cuba and spoken to many cubans who are happy to live there. their health care is as real as what i get in the uk

[marcusos1111]

@spartan2600 that true cuba has the best doctors in the world, when the haiti earthquake occur cuba was the first country to help they sent out alot of doctors. but western media didnt say anything about this.

[MrEestimaa]

@spartan2600 why dont you move cuba if you think there is so good life:).

[spartan2600]

@MrEestimaa I wouldn't move there, but I would love to visit!

[letherden]

the raft refugees were in the midst of the cuban oil crisis and in response to american radio broadcasts that they would be given citizenship and money if they came. and when they arrived in florida they were sent home again... but it looked great on tv, didn't it?

[RAPMONSTAR]

so Venezuelans are a bunch of indians?

[Xenu]

If there's hope it lies with South America.

[tanio12]

Uh oh trouble I guess we have dropped the ball permanently and South America we have lost.
