CARACAS, April 2 (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visited Venezuela on Friday to discuss oil, defense and nuclear energy cooperation with Latin America's main leftist foe of the United States, President Hugo Chavez.
They were to launch a $20 billion venture between Russian firms and Venezuelan state company PDVSA to pump 450,000 barrels a day -- almost a fifth of the OPEC member's current output -- from the vast Orinoco heavy oil belt.
Putin's 12-hour visit provides a welcome lift for Chavez, who is facing domestic and international criticism for failing to solve Venezuela's economic woes and attempting to silence opposition to his 11-year rule.
Putin was later to hold talks in Caracas with Bolivian President Evo Morales, along with Chavez the fiercest opponent of what they call U.S. "imperialism" in Latin America.

Russia supplying the world's reprobates with nuclear power and technology. What a surprise.
And with Zero as prez, they’re going to get whatever they want.
We will not see another “13 days” scenereo with the Clown in Chief we currently have.
Mwanwhile, Obama offends the leaders of our allies, considers coal/oil/nuclear power to be evil, and defunds space exploration.
That’s “meanwhile”...
And I forgot one more thing: Obama wants unilateral disarmament.
Hugo Chevez’s other ally and arms dealer

Ahmadinejad and Chavez Vow to Strengthen Ties, Stand Together Against U.S.
Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez railed against the West on Saturday, pledging to deepen their ties and stand together against the United States and world powers the two perceive as imperialistic.
Russia, Iran, etc.
Nothing to see here according to Neo Leftist Ron Paul who says, Iran is not a threat. Leave them alone.
Venezuela has Oil
Look where Venezuela is on the map vs. America.
Iranian & Russian nuclear weapons in Venezuela aimed
at the U.S. , think about it.
Chaves is a moron.
In case he hasn’t looked at a map recently, Venezuel *IS* in the West!!
What an IDIOT!
I know some Venezuelans.
They are much more intelligent and rational than Baby Hughey Keys (Thuggo Chaves).
Only massive voter fraud and deception could have gotten that jerk elected.
That goes for 0b0z0, too.
This too in Tucson, AZ:
4th Avenue Street Fair prepares for the modern street car
Some find streetcar desirable, even at $25M a mile
$63M in US funds make streetcar a go
Downtown revitalization, the University of Arizona and the whole Tucson region got a shot in the arm Wednesday with the U.S. Department of Transportation award of $63 million to help build the city's modern streetcar.
Nobody but old hippies and the homeless will ride this. Meanwhile Obunghole's buddy Hugo Chavez will use money we give him for oil to try to buy nukes and missile tech from Russia.
Why wasn’t this clown shot in the head long ago?
You better be careful with the use of the words “clown” and “shot in the head” in the same sentence. Someone might get the wrong idea...
There are many in Hugo’s Venz who don’t like him but
he has the weapons and they don’t stand a chance.
The little tyrant wants more power.
A Blackwater-type hit squad can grease him. Problem solved.
Sorry- it was a multi-typo:
REDS: CHAVEZ WANTS NOOKY WITH A SPICY TOUCH, A NUDE MULTI-BAR POLE WORLD’ (Dredged-up Headline)
I shouldn’t have called him a clown...That’s being disrespectful to clowns....
They won’t need nukes — Obama wants to disarm us, and the south-of-the-border drug gangs are already better armed than most small nutty groups targeted by Obama’s FBI. Thanks KevinDavis.
