Venezuela: Military Economic Zone May Increase Cooperation With Russia

I'm hoping the link comes through, wanted to make sure Stratfor gets the credit. The timing of this certainly appears to be tied to the Ukraine situation In case the link does not allow access the key takeaways are "The announcement of the military special economic zone will likely lead to increased military cooperation between Venezuela and international allies such as Russia and Iran."; "The creation of the militarized special economic zone came just two weeks before Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov suggested that the Russian military could send a deployment to Cuba and Venezuela should the United States continue to expand its presence in Eastern Europe." Things could be heating up all over.
