Chavez will order Russian-made fighter jets into Colombia if its troops carry out operations inside Venezuela

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has ordered tanks to the country's border with Colombia and closed the Venezuelan embassy in Bogota as tensions grow over the killing of a Colombian rebel inside Ecuador. Chavez said he would order Russian-made fighter jets into Colombia if its troops carried out operations inside Venezuela. 'The air force should mobilize. We do not want war. But we are not going to let them ... divide and weaken us,' he said, adding that Colombia had violated Ecuador's 'sovereignty.'

  1. What the ALBA countries -- and everyone else -- needs are LOTS and LOTS of russian- and chinese-made heat-seeking and guided missiles and sophisticated active and passive radar units all over the place. The NATO imperialists' worst nightmare come true.

    THAT would stop these imperialists cold everywhere.
