Welp, I hope you have a nuclear bunker near you, because Russia won't take it lightly. I just hope neither USA or Russia attack the EU.
Russia isn't going to do shit about this. And it's definitely not starting WW3 over this.
Even USSR wouldn't have done anything. How many Latin American countries did usa invade during cold war without any repercussions?
Not to mention that this shit actually benefits Russia too. It paints Americans as hypocrites and legitimizes Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Right, they're going to string the country along like they've done with Cuba since the beginning
Honestly what is Russia gonna do? Same as in Syria: nothing. They don't have the capability anymore to react to this far far away shit in a decent way, nor is it significant enough for them to drop the big one.
Also, Russia is bruised pretty good from the Ukraine war. I doubt they could fight two fronts.
The only real military reaction here from Russia would be nuclear. They just don't have the conventional military means currently to fight a US fleet half the world away. While going nuclear is never impossible, yes the enclosed rat, the chance of it happening over this Venezuela thing isn't larger than over any other Trump fart. For example the interventions in Iran by Israel/USA are already way more likely to cause this kind of madman reaction, just because of proximity. Iran is in Russia's backyard, Venezuela isn't.
Did we all forget trump is putin's lapdog?
I wouldn't let my dog bite my cat. Would you? (PS: the cat is N. Maduro)
