We have to ask why Venezuela needs any jet fighters, esp. Soviet Sukhols? They are supposed to be "friendly", as this congressthing claims, so they would only need a small, standing army to work on drug smuggling and to aid in natural disasters.
This is exactly the same arms buildup that we saw in Grenada in the early 1980's, where secret arms agreements with No.Korea, East Germany, Russia, Cuba, etc. would have created the largest Soviet arms depot in the Western Hemisphere outside of Cuba. This is called "prepositioning", in that arms cached there were to be smuggled to communist terrorist/guerrilla groups throughout the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Antigua, to El Salvador and Nicaragua, Peru, and Colombia.
Why do I think that Red Rep. Lee-Jackson or Jackass Lee is a communist stooge or just plain dumb as dog sh8t?
I don't think she is smart enough to be a stooge.
