CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that Russia will help Venezuela develop nuclear energy — a move likely to raise U.S. concerns over increasingly close cooperation between Caracas and Moscow.
Chavez said he accepted an offer from Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for assistance in building a nuclear reactor.
"Russia is ready to support Venezuela in the development of nuclear energy with peaceful purposes and we already have a commission working on it," Chavez said. "We are interested in developing nuclear energy."

CARACAS, Venezuela
Time to put the Pershing IIs back, or whatever we will upgrade them with.
Love it. We try to place defensive ordanance in Eastern Europe and Russia counters with this offensive crap. We need to call this turkey’s bluff and start putting some serious commie frying hardware back in place and protect our allies that stand with us.
Thanks! I don’t know what happened there.
You’re welcome and no problem.
Oh lovely. Whats next for Putin and Kremlin Inc? Nukes for Burma?
I’m not sure how Chavez would handle nuclear power but we may have to start watching him to see if he glows during his speeches.
Chechnya needs energy.
They have no oil.
Lets give them two state of the arts reactors.
Chavez is Catholic so he’s no threat.
