I can't think of anything more comforting than comfort food, but Venezuela's Hugo Chavez having nuclear power comes mighty close. I mean, he did fight off an invasion by President George Bush and intergalactic star fighters. That's where the space tech comes in; starfighters, death stars and midnight black hole helicopters. With Wookiees.
Putin bolsters oil, defense ties with Venezuela
* Chavez wants nuclear energy, space technology
* Venezuela beefing up defenses with Russian arms
* Russian companies to produce oil from Orinoco belt
* Putin also meeting Bolivia's Morales (Recasts, update with meeting)
Vlad the Impaler is meeting with his buddy Hugo and Evo, two pees in a pod, about increasing Russia's presence in South America. And you know Vlad is simply trying to export feedom and liberty to our brothers and sisters to the south.
So, Venezuela, being the largest producer of oil in South America, how is that socialist thing working out for you? We'll be so lucky when Obama gets it done here. Who needs stable electricity. Or good health care, eh?
