The ten deals signed up to by Russia and Venezuela, during the visit by President Hugo Chavez to Moscow, underline the key role of energy in the ties between the two nations.
Traditionalists in the US will say it's "The Cuban Missile Crisis all over again." They are already talking about crap like that on Facebook. When will it end? People have to realize this is WWIV and it's Not about Nuclear Arms, OR Oil Or Energy...it's an Economic War and the smug leaders in America who control our economy shipped it all overseas and have lost the opening rounds in WWIV big time. We Should have let the World Economy sink into another Great Depression to see all our competitors come crawling to us for "bailouts" just like Greece was bailed out by the EU. When are people of the world going to wake up and realize there is NO "Global Economy" and that it's just 2% of the world's richest who own and run mostly everything there is on this planet. Forget about making money in the "stock market" because it's run by the "quants" and their computer driven multi-million share trades. When 'Black Friday comes' just dig a hole...that's all you'll have left.
Taking into account that Venezuela is a net importer of agriculture products even if given its tropical weahter it has a very rich soil, probably Russian companies can help Venezuela to be self-sufficient in food. Both agriculture and livestock are underdeveloped in Venezuela, while it could be a net exporter. Also the fishing industry and ships have to improve and both Russia and Venezuela can cooperate also in this field. Food industry: agribusiness, fishing and and livestock.
