Russia’s position on Venezuela is to prevent American-backed regime change, the country’s Foreign Ministry has announced, amid a jostle for power among rival political factions in the crisis-struck Latin American country.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused the United States of backing a coup in his country after Washington recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as president. Moscow and Beijing have continued to express support for Maduro, who retains control over key state institutions including the military.
“Our goal is to prevent another color – or black and white – [revolution] tailor-made by the Americans,” Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was cited as saying by the RBC news website Thursday.

If Russia thinks it can prop up the dictator—let them send men and ships to Venezuela to defend the puppet. I think they will think again. Maybe they ought to send food. But, I don’t think they will do much more than moral support.
they better get to work at it then. Call us when it’s over.
#4. And what is wrong with that? They revolted against dictator Jimenez in 1956 and became the first Latin American country to throw off an old “caudejo” dictatorship.
Chavez’s first re-election was probably legitimate but he and Maduro have been rigging elections since then.
*** Maybe they ought to send food. But, I don’t think they will do much more than moral support. ***
Russia and China have recently sent a vast amount of medicines to Venezuela They have also received food from another ally. Since the UK refuses to release Venezuela’s assets, their ability to purchase food is hampered. I believe Turkey has offered help, also.
The US has increased it’s sanctions on Venezuela since they began in 2011.
I have no problem with dead Russians, Iranians or Cubans. None.
There should be no Russians in the western hemisphere.
America and the rest of Latin America have sent 10X the aid your precious Russians did, and Maduro is BLOCKING IT AT THE BORDER.
The people of Venezuela need to start attacking police, taking their guns, and killing Chavezistas until Maduro is hanging upside down from a tree.
(Send him that message, maybe he’ll listen to you and escape with his life).
And tell him to take your iranian friends with him as well, otherwise they can be buried in mass graves with pig shit.
“Don’t stop until Maduro boards the chopper.”
Shoot him and let them chopper his body out.
Apparently the Monroe Doctrine is no longer in effect.
So confusing /s
Could motivate support for stronger borders.
You do realize the ICRC and the UN have asked the US to stop their publicity stunt “aid”.
Also, since the swamp creature, Elliot Abrams, no sranger to smuggling weapons in previous “humanitarian aid” to Latin America is the architect of this Goodwill Charade, Venezuela is correct to deny it’s entry.
Trump’s threats to the Venezuelan Military this past Monday, “All options are on the table”, are redolent of Bolton’s threats to the children of an Iraqi Military Officer in the lead up to the Iraqi Invasion.
“He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.”
Mr. Monroe had other ideas.
The idiots who propagandized a coup in Ukraine like Oliver Stone say the same thing about Venezuela...while Russia is on its way to becoming a Muslim-majority nation.
What the hell are you doing here with your tongue ups the anus of the UN , China, Putin and Maduro?
I don’t care if Elliot Abrams throws MAduro our of freaking helicopter!
Maduro is a COMMUNIST. WTF are you doing defending a COMMUNIST?
Gaze into THIS:
the only mistake we made in Iraq was NOT NUKING BAGHDAD, along with Mecca, Media, Islamabad, Tehran and a few other islamic shitholes.
PS - _ is that the ICRC that allows the Red Crescent to use ambulances to transport TERRORISTS?
And the UN that FUNDS the UNRWA schools where they GROOM the terrorists?
Screw the ICRC and the UN.
*** What the hell are you doing here with your tongue ups the anus of the UN , China, Putin and Maduro? ***
I am a non interventionist.
You appear to be a neocon who likes to project his same sex anal/oral fantasies on those who disagree with your perverted dreams of dominance over others.
Might be your lifestyle preference, but it is not a cogent argument appropriate on a public forum.
“non interventionist” who seems to have no problem with Russia, China, and Cuba INTERVENING IN VENEZUELA and all over the world.
Lousy hypoctite is what you are.
