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.
Never underestimating an enclosed rat can still harm you enormously
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.
