While The UN Meets Over The Crisis Of Armed Civilians…

So I’m sure that they will be upset about this:

MOSCOW – Russia has struck a deal worth more than $1 billion to supply fighter jets and helicopters to Venezuela, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said on Friday.
“The contract was concluded … for the delivery of 30 Su-30 fighter aircraft and the delivery of the same number of helicopters,” state-owned Rossiya television showed Ivanov saying.

Right?

    I read about that on the aircraft forums a while ago. Is it the start of another South American arms race? Hope not.

    Chavez is making the purchase, so it’s an arms race.

    The UN will most certainly not be upset. They are concerned about any weapons not in the hands of governments. Just ask them.
