| Russia offers nuke cooperation to leftist Venezuela | ||
| 2008-10-13 | ||
| As part of its growing hostile policy toward the United States, Russia is offering nuclear technology to the leftist regime of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, according to U.S. officials. The nuclear deal was made public by Chavez on Venezuelan television Sept. 28 following his trip to Russia. Noting his strong friendship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Chavez stated that "In Venezuela we are certainly interested in developing nuclear energy, obviously for peaceful purposes."
"Brazil has nuclear reactors as does Argentina. Venezuela will have its reactor too," he said. "Putin announced to reporters that Russia is ready to help Venezuela develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and we already have a commission working in this respect." The potential transfer of nuclear technology to Venezuela is an indication that Venezuela's leftist regime will secretly develop nuclear weapons, following the pattern of denial and deception used in the past by North Korea for its arms program and currently being used by Iran for its nuclear arms program. Look into Pooty Poot's soul now and tell us what you see. | ||

| #1 This may be one ticket that El Supremo had better not punch. The US can make it abundantly clear that while it doesn't mind Venezuelans playing games, nuclear anything is James Bond time. Chavez has come, and Chavez will go, but if Venezuela goes nuclear, it may mean the end of Venezuela. It is a red line, and Chavez and all his little dreams of glory are not worth it. Russia as well has been playing fast and loose. We might suggest that a nuclear armed Georgia would not be in Russia's benefit as well. |
