Russia said on Monday it would send a heavily-armed nuclear-powered cruiser to the Caribbean for a joint naval exercise with Venezuela, its first major maneuvers on the United States' doorstep since the Cold War.
Russian officials denied the mission was linked to a naval standoff with U.S warships in the Black Sea, but it will take place at a time of high tension between Washington and Moscow over the conflict in Georgia.
Washington has played down the significance of the exercise.
Russia has criticized the United States for sending a command ship and two other naval vessels to Georgia, on its southern border, to deliver aid and show support for President Mikheil Saakashvili after Moscow sent troops into Georgia.
Really Medvedev? Do you honestly think ANYONE cares that you dispatched humanitarian aid to the Carribean using your Navy? Navy warships generally are very good at getting to hostile places quickly, and can move a great deal of cargo. Plus, some warships are nuclear powered, so there's little to no pollution.
You want to have wargames with Venezuela? Go for it, I'll sleep like a baby tonight. Why? Because just like last time when you guys ratcheted up the rhetoric, you're full of shit. You've got nothing.
It's the same thing that happens when a little yippy dog starts to bark. You laugh a little because he thinks he's a big dog and you end up humoring it just out of pity.
