| quote: | MOSCOW, Russia (AP) -- A Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Moscow may hold joint naval maneuvers with Venezuela, a deployment that comes amid increasingly tense relations with the United States.
Venezuela's Hugo Chavez announces naval exercises with Russia on his radio and TV program Sunday.
Andrei Nesterenko said a squadron of Russian navy ships is to visit Venezuela before the year's end. Nesterenko said that deployment had been planned before Russia's war last month with Georgia.
The Russian statement comes after Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced the maneuvers in Sunday broadcasts.
Chavez said Russian naval vessels are due to call on Venezuelan ports in late November or December.
Nesterenko said any joint exercise wouldn't be directed against any third country.
The announcement was made a week after Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would mount an unspecified response to recent U.S. aid shipments to Georgia.
Nesterenko said the Peter the Great missile cruiser and three other Russian navy ships would visit Venezuela before the year's end, and would be joined by a unit of long-range anti-submarine patrol aircraft.
He did not say how many planes would be sent. |

I support that. This should ease the tensions between Russia and the US. |

hopefully the US is flooding georgia with stinger missiles and LAWs
the US navy is so much stronger than everyone else's for the near term so it doesn't really matter. even if the socialist countries of the world banded together there would still be NATO member countries navies too which are all hi-tek |
