MOSCOW A Russian Air Force chief said Saturday that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has offered an island as a temporary base for strategic Russian bombers, the Interfax news agency reported.
The chief of staff of Russia's long range aviation, Maj. Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev, also said Cuba could be used to base the aircraft, Interfax reported.
The Kremlin, however, said the situation was hypothetical.
"The military is speaking about technical possibilities, that's all," Alexei Pavlov, a Kremlin official, told the Associated Press. "If there will be a development of the situation, then we can comment," he said.
Zhikharev said Chavez had offered "a whole island with an airdrome, which we can use as a temporary base for strategic bombers," the agency reported. "If there is a corresponding political decision, then the use of the island ... by the Russian Air Force is possible."

When the Ruski's get tired of playing with the island girls, perhaps the little zer0 will invite them to base their bombers at Newark N.J., where the Ruski's can enjoy some of the hottest crack hoes in the NE.
If that doesn't make them yearn for Siberia, nothing will.

Why doesn’t Obama just lease the Russkies an air base near Brighton Beach, NJ? They’d be right at home in “Little Moscow” and their targets would be less than a fuel load away.

I feel so secure with Barry in the White House waiting for that 2 am phone call and Hillary looking out for US interests abroad. Wait until the Russians again deploy tactical nuclear missiles in Cuba. Barry will be right on the phone to the UN asking for a strong letter of protest.

It’s 1962 all over again, a junior Senator becomes President with much fan fare and “hope” and is immediately tested by the world.

Is there anything we as a country have not achieved in 28 years since the inauguration of Ronald Reagan (economy, defense, free speech, anti-union bullying, defense of Israel, energy security and much more) that Obama has not pissed away, or given away to his Islamic and Russian friends in less than 60 days?
And we have 46 months left!

Somebody has already tested Zeros mettle...and found him wanting. Do not be fooled. This is not a display of cowardice on Obama's part. This is what he wants!
