Former commander in chief of the Soviet Ground Forces Gen. Valentin Varennikov, left, presents a saber to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, during the opening of Venezuela's cultural center in Moscow, Thursday, June 28, 2007. Chavez arrived in Moscow for talks with his Russian counterpart as Russian news media speculated about a major weapons deal. As deputy head of the Soviet General Staff from 1979-84, Varennikov was a key planner of the Soviet Union's strategy in Afghanistan
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, 2nd from left, and Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov share a joke while opening Venezuela's cultural center in Moscow, Thursday, June 28, 2007. Chavez arrived in Moscow early for talks with his Russian counterpart as Russian news media speculated about a major weapons deal
A marriage made in hell. Ivan will sell arms to anyone (obviously). My take is that they are far more interested in the “dirt” in Venezuela, than any deal or politics...Stalin was a good example of how the Russians deal with nations they want something from....
Two things:
It is a shame that the general didn’t trip when handing Chavez the sword. Would have made a great photo op.
Also, get the name of that beautiful dancer, and get her to defect. The gorilla doesn’t deserve her.

Thanks for the ping, I appreciate it.
And Chavez was upset at being shown with dictators and tyrants by CNN??? Remember, Chavez is also ‘friends’ with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, & China. Not too promising when you consider that all of these people (including Russia) have one thing in common — love of oppression... Putin may talk a good game but his actions betray his true intentions for “Mother Russia”. They are all ITCHING to re-institute the USSR... and further the stated goals of the Communists/Socialists/Fascists around the world and that is the total domination of all the ‘little people’ by the mighty government(s)...
The ONLY reason that Putin is fighting Muslims in Chechnya (IMHO) is because socialism cannot stand ANY religious group, and especially not a group that is ready and willing to shed blood to achieve their goals...
I firmly believe these people (Russia, China, Venezuela) are only befriending the Islamic Terrorist Regimes in various parts of the ME because they think they can finally defeat Europe and the U.S. with their help. I’ve got news for Al Qaeda and the like though. If they EVER end up defeating the EU and the US — they are going to come after the Muslims NEXT...
Putie is doing everything he can to rattle the oil speculators cage - all the terror he creates jacks up the prices.
If we get the price down again (and it will), then we crush his and his buddies nuts.
Putin drives me crazy! Like the Cold War really ended well for the USSR last time, eh??? As for crushing these jerks... nothing would make me happier.
Hugo gets more Russian weapons to continue his anti-American campaign.
Stalin was a georgian not a russian.
Stalin was a georgian not a russian.
::::
He was born in Gori, Georgia, which was part of the Russian empire...and lived as a Russian. He was very Russian and very evil beyond description.
Thanks for the ping.
In Poland they stated 'the Germans are attacking from the West and the Russians are attacking from the East, all completed under the Ribbentrop/Molotov Pact. German/Russian nonaggression treaty.
