From now on, I will posting the links at the top of my post to reference the original information. I want to respect the sites that carry these stories, and let you see that my information is not without merit.
According to several news sites, excluding CNN, NBC, CBS, and ABC Russian ships are headed to the Atlantic ocean to participate in operations with Venezuela. Here's a short quote from the story:
"In line with the 2008 training program and in order to expand military cooperation with foreign navies Russia will send in November a naval task force from the Northern Fleet, comprising nuclear-powered missile cruiser Pyotr Velikiy and support ships, to the Atlantic Ocean," Capt. 1st Rank Igor Dygalo said.
During the tour of duty, the Russian warships will participate in joint naval exercises with the Venezuelan navy.
"The decision to conduct Russian-Venezuelan naval exercises was adopted at the meeting between presidents in July this year," Dygalo said.
"During the exercise, ships and naval aircraft will practice coordinated maneuvering, search-and-rescue, and communications," he said.
It seems to me that this is an important news item. I Googled it and the mainstream has not reported a thing on it.
