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.

Doesn’t Russia realize that Obama and Hillary are no longer in power? The Color revolution was an Obama thing to make regimes more pliable.

PS - I don’t have any “dreams of dominance over others”. I am happy with America TRADING WITH FREE COUNTRIES.

And sorry pal, but you’re the one sucking up to the perverts.
