This was recently posted on "France24" the French equivalent of CNN, basically saying that Russia wants to help Venezuela develop nuclear energy ( -I guess the Russians are trying to say that Venezuela needs more energy):

The US has been sticking a finger in Putin's eye with maneuvers near their borders, Nato memberships for border states, and talk of antimissile systems in eastern Europe. If you fuck with people they'll want to do the same with you.

Not to defend the U.S. because american foreign policy has sucked for a long time and I dont blame any latin country for mistrusting us. But after the Russians have been in Venez for awhile, we will see how much u like them. My guess is not much!

Cheap energy. Nuclear energy is awesome and costs a fraction and if the waste is handled correctly the infringment on natural resourse is nothing compared to fossil fuels.

Any questions?

This post is kinda funny .................I have never heard of boats loading and leaving the USA for Russia, or Venezuela or China. Thus Boat People. Why it is that everyone still wants to come here? If things are so bad then why talk about Visas to the USA, issues in Colombia and anything else that involves coming to the USA? If anyone wants to get a Visa to Russia, it takes 3 days and you can get lost very easy there.
Here we do have free elections and have the right to say who is here and not here in Washington. All we have to do is Vote. You can vote in Russia and in China as long as you Vote for the person they say you can vote for. Simon, go to Russia once and live for a year. You will be happy to leave. Here in the USA we need a change but the nice thing about it is that we can make the change. November is just around the corner. Somehow I still think that people from all over the world will still want to get that one special VISA that says you can now come to the USA.

Russia is in negotiations to come back into Cuban Bigtime and if that happens, militray bases will pop up. We should have moved into that vacumn when the Russians left several years ago but we let the Miami Cuban Right Wing Hardliners dictate our Foreign policy to Bush with their No Castro-No Cuba Relations. Now we may have to deal with Russia-Cuba scenario 90 miles off our shore if they move in like they say they will. Actaully Russia never really moved out of Cuba, they still have a lot of Educational/cultural ties. The US really blew it Bigtime on this one, considering we deal with Communist China as well as Communist Vietnam anyway these days. And watch the Russians start drilling for Oil 90 miles off our shore in that new Offshore Oil Field discovered recently in Cuban Waters.

What's that old expression---watch what you ask for, 'cause you just might get it? Something to that effect, not really sure.

Should we expect visa applications and migration to Russia to dramitically increase in the coming years? Will such a result come from Russia extending their friendly hand?

Having been to Russia and having a lot of friends there, You can actually buy anything you want from food to homes. The problem is simple. You CAN buy it but just how long you will own it is another issue. Putin is EX KGB . Anyone that thinks he is not in total control does not know anything about Russia.
My friends fear now that he will become the, for lack of better words "Ruler of Russia".
Back to the old ways of the late 1800's. One man equal total power

Hey Sonny,
Yur living in another century. Everything has changed. We can no longer look at the good ole U.S.A in the same light as when we where kids. We are governed by tyrants now too. Our elections are fraudulent, our leaders bought and sold and beholden only to the private club that directs them. There are approx 3million Americans leaving every year, and we are talking about educated gringos with money and some success behind them. They are sick of what has been happening and they are choosing in increasing numbers to bail. I am one. I chose to bail a long time ago, partly cuz I saw it comin and partly just lookin for uncrowded tropical warm water waves and good lookin cinnamon skinned girls. I have no regrets about leaving. And I have very little confidence in how the big shots who caused the crisis are handling the crisis. And anybody latinos included who are in a big hurry to bust into the U.S.A. at this present time is out of their minds and still living an illusion. Thats how it looks from this hilltop......

Here is all I can suggest to you. Burn your passport, give up your American Citizenship and stay where you are. By moving to panama from the USA you have just raised the IQ of both countries.I said I would not respond to trash talk but you not only insulted Americans, my family and I but you insulted every Latino on PBH with such a degrading insult to Americans and their way of life. It may have it's problems but it is still the best place in the world to live.
If you have been to every country except Africa as you state then I am sure you know where you can go right? Have a good life. No American bails out when the times get rough. They all come together. Well, most of us do.

Sonny, is there anything specific that I said in my comment that was untrue? Were the last two elections not fraudulent? Is the two party system truly representative of the american public. How about the electoral system? How about the military industrial complex, and all the damage they have wreaked on the world. President Eisenhauer even warned the american public about the MIC before leaving office. For the first time ever there are huge numbers leaving, now why is this? I know without a doubt that there are legions of great people in my home country working hard and doing great things. But there are obviously huge numbers of people that have had the wool pulled over their eyes and are being led to the slaughter by the wolves who run the show. If my fellow Americans want to be outraged about something, then be outraged at our leadership and the dismal state of affairs that this pathetic leadership has brought us to. Personally, I have always thought that the U.S.A was too good to lose. But if people such as yourself continue to ignore and evade the serious problems, then lose it we will. Going, going.........just ask Ron Paul or Ralf Nader, two excellent Americans what they think about the coming police state and loss of liberty. Nice talkin wichya......

I repeat quantum

It appears you are one of the die hard Demos that feel that everything is fixed. You lost and now you cry about it. Rather then leave why not stick around and help make a change. You, instead left and did nothing but complain. And now you complain from Panama

"But if people such as yourself continue to ignore and evade the serious problems, then lose it we will. Going, going........."

May I ask you what do you think your doing now that your in Panama? Are you ignoring and evading the serious problems we have here? Or... maybe just complaining about them.The difference is that you left rather then face the problem and help change the problems.

People like me vote, get involved, try to make a change and respect the country that allows you to say all you say. You won't get arrested for talking. I repeat to you once again, BURN YOUR PASSPORT and GIVE UP YOUR CITIZENSHIP.
No one here that I know has lost their Liberty, the right to free speech, the right to express themselves. You can travel from one end of the USA to the other and never be stopped. (short of breaking the law)
I have worked hard all my life. I am now retired, I have the money to live where I want to but I will always vote, pay my taxes, return to the land of my Birth. What will you do with your life?
Don't dare talk to me about the problems here when you cannot deal with them yourself.
Legions of people leave and legions come. It has been that way for many years.
You are probably a very nice person.

Are u one of those redneck "love it or leave" "my country right or wrong" red, white and blue, evangelical right wing demagogues so it seems? As a matter of fact Im on way back to Calif and Hawaii very soon. I have a good offer from a newly formed militia. "always pay my taxes", my god, the ignorance knows no bounds........its because of people like you that we have a leader like Dubbya in office. Captain of the Titanic. Quite a distinction i might add............

Actually primo, I went back to vote in the last two elections stillhoping that it was worth something. But the outcome speaks for itself. Unlike yourself I no longer labor under the illusion that democracy is alive and well in the U.S. at least not at the highest levels. Its a rigged game, man, surely u must be able to see that. U found your way to this interesting and informative, sometimes combative site, somehow. I would think u would have access to a wider spectrum of information. Whats your connection to Colombia anyway, if i might ask? Travel usually broadens a persons perspectives. As to the collective IQ of the States theze daze, would Wall St. be an example of that?
