Breaking news has been received at this hour that Russian nuclear warships are headed to Venezuela.
A nuclear missile cruiser is being accompanied by an anti-submarine destroyer, a reconnaissance vessel, and a support ship, according to a report issued by The Times Online in the U.K.
Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez had announced last month that Russia would be engaging in joint military-naval exercises in the Caribbean during the month of November.
But Russia has already sent a warship to the area prior to the deployment of the present envoy of warships.

Russia Sends 2 Bomber-Jets to Venezuela
In a move that is viewed by observers as retaliation for the U.S. sending warships to Georgia to deliver humanitarian aid, 2 Russian bombers landed in Venezuela on Wednesday, according to several news sources, including Breitbart and CNN.
The bombers, Tu-160 strategic jets, are a part of 'training flights' to be conducted over neutral waters in the Caribbean over the next 2 days, according to Russian officials.
However, the landing of the bombers for the purpose of conducting military exercises in the Caribbean must be viewed within the context of Russia's continued threats against the West, the latest of which was issued Wednesday.
Russian officials stated that U.S. missile sights in Poland and the Czech Republic, which are part of the negotiated missile defense shield for the area, would be targets for nuclear attacks by Russia.
Thus, the stated nuclear threats, the landing of the Russian bombers in Venezuela yesterday, and the planned joint military exercises in November planned by Russia and Venezuela in the Caribbean, which will involve 1000 Russian soldiers and at least 4 Russian warships, are all pieces of a puzzle that together paint a dark picture of the re-emergence of the Russian menace as in the days of old during the Cold War.
As we have stated before, this MUST be nipped in the bud and VERY soon, or else the next President is facing something similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis early in John Kennedy's administration in 1961.
We must never allow Russia to gain a foothold in this hemisphere, no matter what. And we must not allow Russia to once again dominate Eastern Europe now that those nations are enjoying beloved liberty following decades of living under the heavy-handed oppression of Russian Communists.
And perhaps it is time for Hugo Chavez to be clipped at the gonads as Ronald Reagan did to Momar Qaddafi of Libya in the early 1980s.

CHAVEZ BRINGS RUSSIAN MENACE TO CARIBBEAN
The top news story of the morning is an ominous one. Hugo Chavez, the Communist dictator of Venezuela, has invited the Russian Navy to undertake a series of military exercises in the Caribbean within the next few months.
According to a report filed by Reuters News Service, several Russian naval ships and up to 1000 Russian soldiers will participate in a joint exercise with Venezuela in the Caribbean from November 10-14.
The move is expected to greatly increase tensions between Russia and the West, particularly in light of the nation's invasion of neighboring country, Georgia.
Since the invasion, several U.S. allies in Europe have expressed grave concerns about their security and have requested the U.S. nuclear defensive missile shield, as well as American warheads.
Russia's response to the request was threatening. At least twice the nation threatened to attack Poland with nuclear warheads should it proceed with plans for the missile shield.
The world community has almost unanimously condemned Russia for its actions and statements.
And with its latest effort to team up with Chavez's communist regime in the Western Hemisphere, the Russian menace continues to thumb its nose at the rest of the world and undertake a military exercise that is clearly designed to send a message to the U.S.
The U.S. is long overdue in sending a clear message right back to Putin, Chavez, and their Commie alliance. To put off sending such a signal, the U.S. and the West is only feeding a growing monster.

Russian Menace Grows Dangerous
In its most defiant act of aggression yet, the Russian menace continued to delve deeper into Georgia, taking Georgian 'prisoners of war' and seizing U.S. humvees in the area.
Most of us who remember the Cold War with the old Soviet Union are very familiar with these tactics undertaken by what was known at the time as 'the Great Menace.'
President Ronald Reagan referred to the Menace as 'an evil empire.'
It is time we had some Ronald Reagan-style leadership on the Russian menace today. They have shown to the entire world that they have returned to the tactics of the old Communist Soviet Union and are still every bit the Great Menace and Evil Empire that they have always been.
The new Russian President, Vladimir Putin's puppet, even made fun of NATO on Tuesday in light of an emergency meeting of the organization's leadership concerning the growing Soviet threat.
The U.S. and the free world cannot allow the acts of such a rogue, lawless nation to go without a decisive response.
Moscow obviously thinks it has the free world over a barrel. There was another time in history when it thought the same thing, only to find that with the emergence of Ronald Reagan and his carefully-crafted threats to the Soviets it became obvious that the U.S. was not going to back off or allow the Menace to continue its march toward world domination.
Are there options other than military force in response to these modern-day acts of aggression by Russia?
Of course there are. We can isolate them. We can cut them off from trade. We can cut off their supplies that flow from the West. We can use all of the diplomacy at our disposal.
But at the end of the day, when all else has failed, as Ronald Reagan demonstrated the use of force or threatened force is the only language the Russian barbarians understand.
And yes, Reagan even called them barbarians.
The barbarians need to understand that there are serious, deadly, and totally destructive military consequences to acts such as the Russians perpetrated in Georgia.
The missile shield Poland wants from the U.S. should be in place...yesterday. And when the U.S. Patriot missiles are put into place in Poland, we should make it clear to Putin and his paper tiger puppet that those missiles are aimed not only at Iran but Moscow as well.
