CARACAS - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned Sunday of increased international tensions over the military escalation by the United States and its allies around the world.

"There are highly alarming elements: the military exercises that the South Koreans and gringos performed in the Yellow Sea; the pressure on Iran for daring to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; the mobilization of U.S. and Israeli troops near Iran's coasts, and the violence in Iraq and Afghanistan occupied by the empire," Chavez said during his usual Sunday news commentary, "Las lineas de Chavez."

The president also listed Israel's blockade of Gaza with Washington's blessing as another alarming factor.

Chávez highlighted that the Barack Obama government "is proving to be, in words and actions, the second Bush administration (George W.), because it follows the same line as a warmonger and the same strategy of domination."

Chavez denounced the continuing and false accusations by Obama government agencies regarding alleged links between Caracas and international drug trafficking, and the surprising presence on unconvincing explanations for thousands of U.S. marines in Costa Rica and the overflights of Dutch aircraft in Venezuelan territory.

3. As much as some don't like him, he's right

The Iraq and Afghanistan wars are the reason for the quadrupling of terrorist attacks since 2003.

Look at what happened in the Baltics and Poland when the missile shield was being negotiated with those countries, Russia went ballistic and retaliated by negotiating with other countries to place first strike missiles in.
