    Thanks Mike. That certainly clarifies. I wasn't sure about the reasoning behind Russians stationing their two military planes there.

    The keyword being 'stationing' which Saker didn't go into. I am assuming that the previous visits were of a short duration, so there is a slightly different emphasis here.

    If anything I think it a positive move to send a message that Venezuela has solidarity partners in face of endless bullying, and do they *need* it.
