“Shh… we’re going to attack the U.S. while they think we’re not,” and then they see U.S. ships nearby and realize they know. This all seems like one silly, little game. Russia argues that it’s not necessary for Georgia and Ossestia to receive help from the U.S. because Russia wants no problem with the U.S., but now Russia has a new ally, one of the U.S.’s foes at that. Russia and Venezuela now have an open alliance with ties of economics and military. If Russia weren’t really planning on starting a cold war with the U.S. then why in the world would they seek a new alliance, especially one that the U.S. does not get along with? The U.S. is doing a good job keeping their eye out on what Russia is planning, especially with some ships out in the black sea. We’ve been able to discover that two TU-160 bombers were sent to Venezuela this month, supposedly to “take a swipe at Washington,” says Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez who thanked Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. This small “war” if you really want to call it that, on Georgia early in August has been over for a while, now Russia only remains there to reform it (so they say), but while over there they are now fining them to do this reconstruction and “care.” Why is it that this small war has escalated into threats between larger countries? How could Georgia and Ossestia pose any threat to Russia, being so small and already dependent on its larger, neighbor countries like Russia? Was this the plan all along, or is the U.S. getting picked on because they stuck their nose in someone else’s business?
