It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these….captured at this year’s APEC summit in, of all places (yeah, RIGHT!) Indonesia:
Perhaps there may be an issue determining which one of these guys looks less MANLY, given their choice of dress. Never mind the Daily Mail’s caption.

The Russo-Chinese threat in Latin America

This is very important. While the US has its army 1/2 a world away, something sinister is brewing closer to home. The Russians and Chinese are making inroads into Latin America. We are doing nothing. We are so concerned about defending Europe and Arab oil, that we are not watching the threat that is closer. America needs to be more concerned over our own hemisphere. We can’t let Russia and China flank us. It could cost us dearly in the future.
Russia, China, Move In on Latin America
Today’s arrival of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on a two-day visit to Venezuela to meet with President Hugo Chavez is a stark reminder that potential problems aren’t always “Over There.”
The assertive political, economic and security overtures by Russia – and China, by the way – in the Western Hemisphere mean we had better pay close attention to our own ‘hood in the coming years.

First, Russia. Medvedev’s Venezuela whistle stop is just one of several scheduled, including Brazil and Cuba, around his attendance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in Peru last weekend.

The Latin American jaunt is clearly meant to exert Russia’s self-image as a world – not just regional – power. (Moscow is jousting with Beijing, Washington and Brussels for influence in places like Africa, too.)
This is very alarming.
