Russian navy sails to Venezuela

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7628899.stm

Russian warships have set off for Venezuela for joint exercises unprecedented since the Cold War.

The fleet of ships, headed by the nuclear-powered Peter the Great cruiser, set off from its base at Severomorsk in the Arctic.

The ships are due to take part in joint manoeuvres with Venezuela in November.

The move is seen as a rebuff to the United States, which is facing increasingly fraught relationships with the two nations.

Russian Navy spokesman Igor Dygalo said the ships set sail at 1000 local time (0600 GMT), and would travel 15,000 nautical miles to reach their destination.

"It's the nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser Peter the Great, the anti-submarine warship Admiral Chebanenko and other accompanying ships," he told the AFP news agency.

Two Russian bombers arrived in Venezuela last week for training flights.
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    I was reading something like 89% of Russians think 9/11 had some kind of inside involvement.

    now they are the enemy...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Don't worry about the Russians.

    Sarah Palin is watching their every move from her home in Alaska.

    Did you know you can see Russia from parts of Alaska?

    That's our early warning system... when Sarah looks out her kitchen window and sees a squadron of Blackjack Bombers flying by or Russins Ballistic missiles overhead... she dials 9-1-1.
