20080723-Chavez-belarus_m.jpgDuring a signing of an oil deal with former Soviet republic Belarus, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez introduced the world to his newest hermano, Belarussian president Alexander Lukashenko.

Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko, described by Chavez as a “brother”, has long railed against the influence of the United States in world affairs. Western nations accuse him of flouting freedom of speech and assembly in 14 years in power.
“We are struggling against the same adversary — U.S. imperialism, against countries which serve as lackeys of that imperialism,” Chavez said after receiving the “Friendship of Nations” award from the Belarussian leader.
“We are winning, but a long battle still lies ahead. The hegemonist aims have collapsed. American imperialism will continue to fall.”

Aww the two brothers share the same hate for the U.S. Empire! Que cute! I bet they also share being hated by the U.S.
