NEWS: Russian Rebound

Russia has flexed its military muscle in front of the U.S., as they gave Venezuela $1 billion in military loans. 

Venezuela is famous for Hugo Chavez's declared stance against the West. Just two years ago Chavez spoke after President Bush at the U.N. and called him the devil, stating that the podium still smells like sulfur. 

Russia's agreement came right after the announcement that by 2020 they will rebuild their fleet of warships, and will construct new nuclear-capable submarines. Also promised, and already seen is an unspecified space program.

Russia hopes to behave like a, "world power." Venezuela became part of the equation when the two nations noted their similar anti-west sentiments. 

Russia has been upset since the recent Georgian conflict, when the West "intervened" in the conflict. Venezuela then went on record that the two will team up as a "colossus being born."

Russia said the United States shouldn't feel threatened, and that they only aspire to have a permanent combat readiness. Said Medvedev, "We should seek superiority." 

I'm not trying to make you fearful of World War III, or Cold War Part 2 but the U.S. should start watching out. The West (especially America) has a growing resentment, and if a power like Russia starts pouring enough fuel on the fire, the flames may become powerful enough to engulf the fifty states.
