Go tell it the marines...
As has been noted elsewhere, Putin and Co hve been cosying up to the Venezuelan thugocracy, in particular by sending a couple of TU-160 Blackjack bombers yonder.
Cue gratuitous aeroplane picture:
Separated at birth from the B1 Lancer, maybe?
Enough of the Avpr0n, "According to [Lt. Col. Vladimir] Drik, the bombers are carrying dummy missiles without warheads and their primary mission is to practice patrol sorties in a tropical climate". Source
After all the Voyenno-vozdushnye sily Rossii has much reason to mooch around in the tropics with its fleet of 16 Blackjacks, nuclear capable after all.

That'll teach the Yanks to place their missiles on the Russkie's borders, won't it.
