MOSCOW (UPI) - Russian President Vladimir Putin and leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez declared Monday that they would form a strategic alliance against U.S. dominance as the world's only superpower.
Putin and Chavez, who had extensive talks, discovered that they had much in common. Chavez declared to the media that they were now "good friends."
Both men issued a joint declaration condemning uni-polarity, as U.S. domination of international affairs has been called, and calling for an end of the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba.
