Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was to meet Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev on Friday after Russia risked Washington's wrath by offering the fierce US foe help developing nuclear energy.

The two were to meet in the city of Orenburg after hawkish Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told Chavez in Moscow on Thursday that Russia was "ready to consider the possibility of cooperation in nuclear energy."

The countries have boosted ties in recent weeks following sharp US criticism of Russia's incursion into Georgia, with Moscow dispatching long-range bombers and warships to Venezuela for exercises near US waters.

      Russia is spending the people's money on their military. It appeared to be a big display but the Russians, or Putin, have really gone around the bend if the put nuclear anything in Venezuela. I think it's mostly saber rattling. About 90% of the money they are spending is from oil profits. Another reason for the United States to have a sane energy policy and become energy independent. The world wide price of oil will have to drop dramatically.
