Minsk, Dec 16 (Prensa Latina) Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated on Tuesday that a US military aggression against Venezuela could become a "second Vietnam" for Washington.

“I am absolutely convinced that all issues and all desires of the United States can be currently resolved peacefully, because a war will lead nowhere.

Yesterday I spoke with US Special Envoy to Belarus, John Coale, and I told him that this may turn into second Vietnam,” Lukashenko said in an interview to Newsmax TV.

The president warned that the Venezuelan people will unite around President Nicolas Maduro if Washington attacks the Latin American country.

Trump warned on November 29 that the airspace over Venezuela and its surrounding areas should be considered “completely closed” to “airlines, drug traffickers, and human traffickers.”

The Venezuelan government, in turn, asserted that it will continue to exercise fully its sovereignty, which is “protected by international law throughout its airspace.”

This measure comes amid escalating tensions between the two countries, along with reports of Trump’s plans to order a ground military operation in Venezuela.

Apologies for fedopedia, I can't find an ongoing list anywhere else:

My state has been at war more than at peace.
