I have news for chavez, if the USA decides to get wiggy about Venezuala, there will be no amount of weapons that will stop them.

course, having the support of russia is helpful, and it gives Gazprom an in to another strategic supplier, which seems to be russia's foreign policy priority right now. So we'll see.

The US has been preventing Venezuela from renewing its military equipment - they went as far as blocking a sale of planes by Spain because there were American components on them.

So Chavez needs to shop elsewhere. Why is the US irritated?

I'm not so sure. When was the last time the US attacked a country that was well armed?

Wait this is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet.
