Hugo and the Flanker

It's a bit scary to contemplate what a commie dictator
with expansionist dreams could do with a few squadrons
of these babies.

Commie crank Hugo Chavez may visit Russia later this summer in an effort to acquire some Sukhoi Su-35 Super Flanker fighter aircraft.

Now, the Su-35 is a pretty bad-ass fighter, but even if he had a hundred of them, he'd still be little threat to the US. What makes this a dangerous development is that with the Flankers, he's likely to have the toughest air force in South America.

Given Chavez's penchant for courting up and coming commies throughout Central and South America, look for comrade Hugo to start flexing some Marxist muscle in latin America.
