    Right… Where Russia was attempting to sell “Russian Protection”… I could understand them being there. But there’s no ties to south America as far as I’m aware. Though admittedly, I haven’t looked to keep myself up to date there.

    This helps Russia build influence which is something it desperately needs right now.

    They need it even more after what’s happening in Mali… I don’t think any South American country would take to kindly to Russia at this point.

    It would mean the guy who is yelling about the CIA trying to overthrow him has accepted Russian help.

    Eh, I’d buy it… but my arguments weren’t a point that it’s impossible… But that the other guy couldn’t keep his head straight for 3 seconds to actually bring a cogent point. It’s just frothing at the mouth “Russia good, USA bad”, “See these politicians doing their jobs‽ Stop looking at the military assets.”
