I’m not impressed with one Russian Fleet visiting South America. If their intention is hostile, we have land based resources/Submarine resources to deal with them.

Any delivery of war supplies/nukes to Venezuela would be more cheaper and more easily accomplished using standard commercial shipments.

This is Geopolitical feather ruffling by a tin pot dictator and a Russian criminal.

What is Chavez going to do with a fleet asset? Invade Columbia? He’d be toast unless Bush decided to turn into a pansy on military matters.

“more cheaper and more easily “

That’s gotta be some kind of massive grammatical error. Need more coffee.

I agree with you, but I don’t like the optics. Also, their presence does tie up Israel/Allied resources that could be deployed elsewhere.

That's a sort of diplomatic answer to the Polish ABM base, probable Georgia's, or Ukraine's joining NATO or to all of them combined.
