US Incites Arms Race in South America

Caracas - The creation of military bases in Colombia has broken the balance, and encourages arms race in the region to support the US military industry, retired Venezuelan General Alberto Muller warned on Thursday.

The expert said the US depends on the military industry, as related expenses account for more than 20 percent of the Gross Domestic Product.

Interviewed by Zulia's Panorama daily on the secret agreement for the setting up of seven military bases in Colombia, Muller said Washington bans its spreading.

Venezuelan President announced recently he has decided to reinforce defense because those bases threaten his country and the region, and for that, he was given over 2 billion dollars in Russia.
