Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has announced plans for the deployment of new Russian-made tanks and combat helicopters on the border with Colombia.
Ties between Venezuela and Colombia deteriorated last August after Washington signed a deal with Bogota allowing U.S. forces to run anti-drug operations from Colombian bases. Chavez has criticized the deal and called for the Venezuelan people and army to prepare for a war.
After the U.S. invades Venezuelan airspace with impunity, and the leaked documents showing U.S. intentions with regard to the entire continent of South America, I can see why he’s doing this. (In regards to the latter, you can probably find the article about the leaked docs if you check through my tag archives.)
