U.S. Secretary of State calls it “Operation Liberty” and supports opposition leader Juan Guaido. The Venezuela regime of Nicolas Maduro calls it a “coup attempt” and has help from Russia and Cuba to put down the uprising. The regular Venezuelan military, and the ordinary people of the country appear to be caught in the middle.

Perhaps this is the last effort of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido to shift the balance of power. The White House is supportive but cautious. Everything is tenuous as Venezuela appears to be on the brink of extreme political violence.

How Russia arms America's southern neighbors

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.

Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.

Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia Boosts Arms, Training for Leftist Latin Militaries

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

[I want the USA back]

Hoping the insane dictator is toppled. He is responsible for their current misery.

Guaranteeing that the American left will complain bitterly about this current crisis.

They support the brutal dictator who starved his people.

Venezuela Crisis Possibly Reaching Apex...

I have family that lives in Apex.

Hope they’re ok.

Thank you for posting this.

The American left don't care about the people of Venezuela. What they are concerned about is that a successful overturning of the socialist government there will give Trump a victory.

The American left are so consumed with hate for Trump that they would rather see the people of Venezuela continue to suffer than to see Trump get a victory.

The Venezuelan people know that Juan Guaido will do Socialism right and create a Utopia, if only the United States will send them enough Other Peoples Money.

[Brilliant]

It’s time for Sanders to go to Caracas to save Maduro from the American intervention.

[dangus]

“Possibly?”

I’m amazed that CT acknowledges uncertainty about anything!

[Texan5]

I’m pretty sure that Guaido is anti-socialism-Maduro is hanging onto the door frame with his fingernails to keep Guaido and the US from taking away his stolen money and reversing the socialist gulag he’s turned the country into-and throwing the bad actors like China and Russia out...

[blueunicorn6]

All foreigners out of Venezuela!

Cubans back to Cuba.

Russians back to Russia.

48 hours and then we start a blockade.

[C210N]

and has help from Russia and Cuba to put down the uprising...

No doubt that if this was happening during the reign of the Usurper, the USA would be joining with Russia and Cuba to help Maduro. We essentially did so for Iran, earlier in his reign.

Is it time for boots on the ground?

[NorseViking]

Tell me what exactly make you think Guiado is not communist?

[utax]

The Venezuelan people should deal with the cubans and russians first then hang maduro.

[Navy Patriot]

The Venezuelan people should deal with the cubans and russians first then hang maduro.

The Venezuelan people should kill all the Communists and Socialists in Venezuela, kick out the Cubans and Russians, then hang Maduro.

Then they would have learned their lesson.
