Venezuelan Ambassador to Iran: Chavez, Ahmadinejad Are The New World Leaders
Venezuelan Ambassador to Iran David Velasquez has said that the Venezuela’s and Iran’s establishment of a refinery in Syria is part of the close Iran-Venezuela energy cooperation, and said that his country was willing to sell Iran up to 20,000 barrels of refined oil daily at market prices.
He said that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were the new world leaders.
The Ahwazi-Sunni opposition organization in Iran stated that Iran had set up a committee headed by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander Mohammad Ali Jafari that was acting secretly, via straw companies, to secure supplies of petroleum distillates that would be needed by the IRGC and the Basij in time of war. He added that secret storage depots for the fuel had already been set up.

A Look at Iran

Venezuela being an Iran proxy/ ally . Hugo likes.
Shell Game.
Any bets that Hugo passes them on to Iran?
A way for Russia to not supply Iran yet supply Iran...
That’s certainly a possibility, DJ. But that’s a long, circuitous route. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to them enroute, eh?

Oh yea, memories of the good ole days and SAC. B-52s flying around the clock with big bombs. Hell, I would settle for Maj. "King" Kong right about now.
What, Venezuela is worried about an attack by Paraguay?
Take out the Castros, Chavez, Correa and may be Morelas though he is really dumb and just a follower and the Americas would be a much better place!
I see this as almost benign, except that Chavez is a threat to his neighbors. To me, this is a cargo cult mentality. The S-300s will be parade ground props, for the most part.
Unless those systems are kept in AirCon storage they tend to rot in the tropics after 24 to 36 months. Likewise with almost all Russian made military equipment.

We are creating a new world, a balanced world. A new world order, a multipolar world, Chavez told reporters during a visit to Communist China, one of many. His new world order includes [RUSSIA], China, Iran,... and a significantly weakened United States, he explained.
