Venezuela signs military agreement with Russia
The televised signing of the 'New Statute on Military-Technical Co-operation' followed an earlier announcement by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez on 24 July that Venezuela was intending to buy enough Russian tanks to double its fleet.Well, I guess that means FARC won't have to rely on Swedish weapons anymore. Of course, when Colombia points out that the sudden use of T-90s by FARC looks just a tad suspicious as far as Venezuelan involvement is concerned, Chavez will be mightily offended and recall his ambassador again. Maybe the Colombians can get some use out of those captured Swedish-Venezuelan-FARC anti-tank rockets.
