Venezuela, Russia declare freedom from Yankee imperialism Options

Caracas: Venezuelan and Russian officials have agreed to create a $4 billion joint development bank to finance gas production, aluminum mining and other projects, Venezuela's information ministry said on Saturday.

It was not clear how much each energy-rich country would contribute as oil and gas prices continue to slide, but Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said his country could tap its foreign currency reserves to bankroll the fund.

"Russia and Venezuela are establishing a strategic alliance," Chavez said as he and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin mingled on Friday with workers from the
nations' two state-run oil and gas companies on a drilling platform in the Gulf of Venezuela.

"We have freed ourselves from Yankee imperialism," Chavez said.

The men inaugurated the first Venezuelan-Russian offshore natural gas project, with Chavez hailing his country's increasingly close ties to Russia as a counterweight to US influence.

Venezuela has South America's largest natural gas reserves, including 27 trillion cubic feet in the Gulf of Venezuela, but they've remained largely untapped while the country focused on oil. Russia's state gas company Gazprom won a contract to develop two Venezuelan natural gas blocks in 2005 and is expected to start producing there by 2013.

Nice signature. Were you ever part of thw Hitler-Youth, or better yet, the ϟϟ

ϟ is a letter from the Futhark (ancient European alphabet) that corresponds to our letter S. I like it because it comes from my ancestors and it looks cool. The Nazis used many of the letters from the Futhark as symbols for their various groups, we can't forbid them all. The symbols are much older than WWII and we don't have another set of symbols to use.

So the Russians are going to help Ven. drill for Gas in the Caribbean Sea. Ven. controls a big chunk of the Caribbean.

See this official Map from Venezuela: http://venezuelaparatodos.files.wordpress....a-venezuela.jpg

And yes Ven. does claim 1/3 of there next door nation of Guyana. They have been claiming it since the UK. controlled Guyana.

Seems the US has sort of ignored Latin America for other parts of the world while China and India have been looking more into Latin America.
