The real deal with Venezuela is the political presence in the golf of Mexico for the Russian.
The fading away of Cuba from the political scene has opened a lucky way to the Russian helped by the eventual economical powerhouse called Venezuela and the actual today's leader Chavez.
The Russians are embedding their roots in a massive way in any aspects of life of the nation :
financial ,manufacturing ,mining ,oil and gas researching and eventually producing and goodness knows what else.
This has been done precisely when the Americans where distracted by the election and the change of power and by the time they will react Chavez and Venezuela will be prisoners of their own fate.
There will be no other Kennedy to save sud America and the central states from the striking arm of this very hungry ,politically influenced ""red machine"" ,
all this to say that hopefully we will get the PERMIT SOON otherwise we can forget it.
I will post it on the OT if somebody thinks that is worth and good enough for the forum let me know and i will move it over.
thanks oiramoric
