United States continues to plan a missile shield near Russian territory, Russia will build military bases in the United State's backyard: Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina. Brazil, Chile & Colombia are starting to swerve interest in Russian military equipment and military co-operation.

President Evo Morales announced on Saturday that Moscow plans to build a "maintenance center for Russian planes that fly in South America," in Bolivia.

Morales said the planed center would be at an airport in Chimore, a coca producing region of the Andean nation, that he said previously served as a base for US anti-narcotics operations.

It was not clear if the facility would be used for Russian military aircraft.

Venezuela has been the region's most notable buyer of Russian aircraft in recent years, purchasing a string of MiG fighters and Mi-28 helicopters.

i forget the exact term but don't we have some sort of self given "costubaltory authority" over south america that woodrow wilson established when he had all his lovely little secret wars there?

idk it was bullshit then but something like it would give us some sort of authority to fuck up the russians lol.

people act like the entire russian military just went away when the soviet union "collapsed" but they're still a huge threat, especially with their chinese buddies (yet we cut funding for the new strategic bombers we were trying to build......whatevers).
