MOSCOW — A Russian Air Force chief said Saturday that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has offered an island as a temporary base for strategic Russian bombers, the Interfax news agency reported.

It's just a response to our Navy patrolling the Baltic. We'd find the same sort of action, if the Russians patrolled the Gulf of Mexico with surface combatants.
There isn't any use for Russia basing strategic bombers that close. They cease being "strategic". They already have the range to reach anywhere in the United States, putting them close to us makes it easier for us to negate them. It's just rhetoric.
Don't fall for the "fear card".

Am i the only one happy there is some good old fashion chest thumping going on??

FUD...FUD FUUUUUD F. U. D.
Go media go!
Hey i just think russia wants to do what we did with shiping all of our import's to china.
Nothing like ivan wearing a "made in south america" shirt boxers socks and pants that says he owns the place. ;)

If they do, they are making a big mistake. Those bombers would be shot down within seconds of lifting off in a hostile situation.
They are simply rattling their sabre. Sad thing is we know their sabre is rusty and they'd have a hard time getting it out of the scabbard if they ever decided to try and use it.
Let the station their buffs there... it would make things easier for us.

They are just testing Obama to see if he has the jewels to stand up like Bush did....Thats all.....
-
putting bombers in cuba is a bad tactical decision, we know they are there, 1 fighter's radar can track them from any place they take off safly from US airspace.. they have 0 chance of any element of surprise.. which is the whole purpose of having them there..
it makes sense on no level except as a poke to test the waters.

yeah sure makes me happy when the country with the largest nuclear stockpile is making threatining moves... :huh
putin slowly gave himself more power, they've been acting strange lately and I sure don't like it.

Testing Obama? Obama is here to open the door for them. :rolleyes:

they have more warheads.. technically, but in active service? able to deploy?
at any rate
you can totally take nukes off the table, putin is ex KGB, meaning hes a little bit crazy, but hes not a fool, nothing short of the US invading the soviet union and starting to take the country completely over would prompt them to initiate a nuclear exchange, because they know good and well they (nobody) could win, they would be utterly obliterated. nukes are a non factor.

it's like that line from that george clooney flick, "it's not the guy with 100 nukes that scare me, it's the guy that just wants one."

that you know of :noid

Houses tanker planes, that can be used to fly and reinforce any area within' hours.
Imagine a few formations of f15's and such screaming state to state full afterburn hitting up tanker after tanker in a line flying from east to west or vice versa.
And you will understand the importance of a tanker fleet.
Either way, come sun up to sun down, that base can be crawling with newly arrived fighter's.

Well since there is a US Naval Base in Guantamano Bay, Cuba. I am sure we some sort of anti-aircraft weapon if not a aircraft carrier down there.

No need to scramble fighters from MacDill. You already have Homestead ARB and Boca China NAS equiped with fighters.
