combined with an illegal arms deal between a trusted NATO ally and a rogue Middle Eastern state. During a three-day visit to Russia, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez received electoral support from Russian President Vladimir Putin, delivered an impromptu speech from the balcony of Volgograd city hall--pronouncing "Long live Lenin," sealed a $1 billion arms deal that will include 24 Sukhoi fighter jets and 100,000 AK-103 Kalashnikov rifles, and secured Russian help to build an 8,000 kilometer gas pipeline. Chavez, who has been aptly described as "a younger Fidel Castro--with oil," reportedly signed a $1 billion arms deal with Russia that includes 30 Russian Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets, 30 military helicopters, 100,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles, a license to build a Kalashnikov factory in Venezuela, and maybe a couple submarines. |
