Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has announced that the country will soon take delivery of Russian missiles with a range of 300km (185 miles).

Returning from a 10-day tour of Africa, Asia and Europe, including Russia, Mr Chavez is also planning to buy Russian T-72 and T-90.

"Soon some little rockets are going to be arriving... and they don't fail," he announced at the presidential palace.

This can only end well... how soon before we end up in a similar situation to what we were in the sixties when the Russians tried to place nukes in Cuba? and will the US/CIA use this as an excuse to go in and try to overthrow Chavez? from what i can see this is probably not the smartest of moves by the Venezuelans and in the long run could end up costing them more than the cash the missiles cost?

If this keeps up the US will be surpassed as the worlds biggest arms dealer.
