Russia harshly criticizes US attack on Venezuela, capture of Maduro
The Hill ^ | 1/3/26 | Ian Swanson

Russia is offering stark criticism of the U.S. military attack on Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.

In response, Russia called for a full meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

“This morning, the United States carried out an act of armed aggression against Venezuela. This causes deep concern and condemnation,” Russia said in a statement from its Foreign Ministry.

“The pretexts cited to justify such actions are unfounded. Ideologized hostility has prevailed over practical pragmatism and over a willingness to build relations based on trust and predictability,” Russian officials wrote, nearly five years into the nation’s own war in Ukraine.

Russia, a key ally of the Maduro regime, said it was crucial to “prevent further escalation and to focus on finding a way out through dialogue.”

An evil & diabolical regime is removed and of course Russia complains.

Some things never change.

Same. It’s no longer possible to tell at first glance. That’s where we’re at right now and I have a sneaking suspicion that the surreal is only going to continue and/or get worse.

Yep, all of the evil, corrupt, drug dealing, death camp loving and mafia style nations that suppress individual freedoms are deeply saddened - and concerned.

Thank God. We don’t need friendly gas stations for nuclear capable TU-22s, TU-160s, and TU-95s in our FRONT yard.

It’s pretty apparent who was in bed with Maduro. So Putin and the ass wipe leader of Columbia are calling for an immediate meeting of the U.N. Ha!, Ha!, Ha!. The U.N. is impotent.

Russia will just have to live with it. The UN is just a gaggle of blowhards and will issue harsh words and that is about it.

Which is proof Russia won’t do anything about it.

Like Sollozzo in The Godfather, Putin had his chance. Now he’s the one (who probably feels like he’s) being hunted.

Russia tried, and failed, almost four years ago.
