CARACAS, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said his country is ready to buy Russian-built fighter jets, as the United States refuses to supply spare parts for its F-16 jets.
At a military ceremony on Monday, Chavez expressed his appreciation for Russia's help, saying Venezuela will buy fighter jets from Russia and "keep them here to protect this land."
He also thanked his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for approving the sale of 33 military helicopters and 100,000 AK-47 assault rifles to Venezuela.
Chavez also blamed Washington for forbidding Brazilian manufacturers from selling training aircraft to his country on grounds they use U.S. technology.
Despite the setbacks, Chavez said "nothing and nobody will stop us from making our country's armed forces stronger."
Relations between Venezuela and the United States have been deteriorating in recent years. Caracas has accused Washington of backing an abortive coup to overthrow Chavez in April 2002.
Add that to the million man militia with AK-47s and his land should be safe from those pesky Guyanans for a long time to come.

I'm glad Hughie clarified that, I thought he might want to keep them in Russia.
"Xenouela will buy fighter jets from Russia "
What's with these 100k rifles, he's been talking about these for a year. If he wasn't just talk he'd already have 'em. I guess he'll get around to getting those fighters right after his rifles show up.
Exactly . He is still the nations resources from its citizens to buy weapons he ahs no need for, He is not under any threat from any country close to him and if the US threatens him he is dead meat anyway. All of these tin-pot dictator asswipes buy weapons with money they could use to help their poor. they could be truly great instead of blown up toads in their own minds. It pitiful and sad, and yet they elected this POS.
Still = stealing
It looks to me like Venezuela is getting ready to attack Mexico and take over its oil fields and direct access to the USA markets.

Something tells me those days are over. Our government has lost its cojones. Look how our government gave into pressure and how they now treat the Gitmo prisoners. Rush Limbaugh's Club Gitmo Parody has become a reality.
