Did Bush provoke Russia to a close military alliance with Venezuela due to his engineered $1 Bil Georgian war ?

I think Bush just wanted to test Putin's tolerance but didn't know that he would be so sore after all he did say they were very good friends and all that crap. For those Americans that think they can push the Russians around, let me remind them they have just as many nukes. Russia's close military alliance with Venezuela should serve as a warning and if those Americans still think its sabre rattling they are sorely mistaken. I sincerely hope that the next President will be smart enough to differentiate greed from common sense and choose the right path.
