Venezuela recognizes Georgian separatist regions
“BARVIKHA, Russia – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez gave Moscow a boost Thursday by recognizing the independence of two Russian-supported Georgian separatist regions, and President Dmitry Medvedev promised to sell Chavez whatever weapons he wants.
“‘We will soon begin actions to establish diplomatic relations with these countries,’ Chavez said at the opening of the meeting Thursday.
“He was also expected to discuss possible weapons and energy deals in the meeting with Medvedev and later with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.”
Dandy. Just dandy.
