MOSCOW - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday that his oil-rich nation will sign major arms deals in Moscow to acquire Russian fighter jets and produce Kalashnikov assault rifles, and he slammed U.S. criticism of the weapons sales.
Chavez said contracts to buy Su-30 jets and set up Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition plants in Venezuela would be signed Thursday in Moscow, the Interfax news agency reported.
"I want to thank President Putin for his firmness in cooperating with increasing Venezuela's defense and security," Chavez said at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport. "We have thwarted the goal of the empire of the United States to disarm Venezuela."

There is no way this is a defensive deal on Chavez part. Who is it intended to defend him from? His nieghbors are no threat to him, and even with this package his military wouldn't slow us down for a day if we decided to attack.
So that pretty much leaves it as something he intends to put pressure on his neighbors with. I think Hugo wants to start some trouble.

With the world's highest rate of violent crime Chavez needs these weapons to use in Caracas.

This turd ain't nothing but trouble for the sewer called dictatorial politics.
Time to take Chavez out before he has a chance to hurt a lot of innocent people.
With prejudice.

I think Putin never met a rogue dictator he wouldn't sell weapons to. KGB slime.

Why is this man still breathing?Unbelievable. I suspect he plans to enlarge his empire rapidly. Those who sign on with him will find themselves submitting to his authority. He is clearly a Napoleon wannabe.
