Funniest part was Russia denouncing unprovoked US actions.
A special military operation to overthrow a government that takes less than 3 days, only a few hours to be precise..... Must be hard to see others achieve that when you are not even close to that at day nr. 1,409.
So, I in no way support what the USA has just done (essentially forced vassilisation of another nation to appease oil magnates), but god damn that comment was funny.
This reminds me of Bush standing on an aircraft carrier with a "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him. Trump says he's gonna run Venezuela and seize their oil. The violence is only just beginning.
We have yet to see if it overtrhows the Venezuelan government, so far it appears to be fairly stable without Maduro.
War and killing brown people is the only thing we're great at.
'Murica! 🦅
At no point in Russia's modern history have they had any problem whatsoever with being hypocrites.
That's because Russia and Venezuela are allies. Got to say something, even if it's for pretend.
So Putin's starting to turn against the US?
If only.
If I was a conspiracy theorist I might think that Putin was in on this, ie: Venezuela's VP in Russia at the exact same time Trump attacks -- and her brother, the head of the national assembly, is supposedly in Caracas but hasn't been seen since the attack.
I'd be very surprised if either one makes it out of this alive.
I would expect the VP to be set up as a puppet leader, with her brother as a hostage to force her cooperation.
Edit: Looks like she might not be cooperating.
She isn't. Sad to say but she may find herself falling out a window or meeting a "Ukrainian" car bomb soon.
We are so fucked as a world right now.
He's kind of busy on his 3-day-special-military-operation that is already taking 1,409 days. Russia would probably collapse.
Turned on by the US.
He was never Pro-US. He just buttered up Trump for a bit to get what he wanted.
Spiderman pointing at Spiderman.
venezuela is a putin ally, he did the same for iran too, remember when iran was bombed israel, putin immediately used his troll farms to attack trump.
I thought Putin and Trump were BFFs. This was the real story imo
Nah, Trump is just really gullible and in charge of a large amount of geopolitical and economic power so it makes sense for Putin to act like his friend.
