Venezuela from the Russian perspective

It is difficult to overstate the level of frustration across Russian social media over the American move in Venezuela. There is hardly a single Russian military blogger who has not addressed it. The reaction on the Russian side revolves around two main axes.

The first axis is dominated by frustration that, once again, Russian systems – especially Russian air-defense systems – were caught completely unprepared. Russian commentators complain that, once again, their allies proved incompetent and unable to properly operate the equipment they were given, making Russian hardware appear ineffective.

Added to this is concern over the geopolitical consequences: the Maduro regime was seen as a close ally of the Kremlin – and that ally is now gone. Another fear frequently raised is that once infrastructure is restored, the United States could impose a global oil price ceiling of roughly $50 per barrel due to its control over production in Venezuela.

The second axis is captured by the most common phrase circulating on Russian Telegram over the past week:

а что так можно?

“So… you can actually do that?”

Despite everything mentioned above, most of the Russian frustration stems from the fact that the Americans succeeded precisely where the Russians failed. Anger over the successful arrest of Maduro is almost always accompanied by sharp criticism of the Kremlin’s actions at the start of the war and Russia’s failed attempt to seize Kyiv.

Latest reports: Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed indictments against Manduro and his wife with conspiracy to engage in drug-terror activities, conspiracy to import cocaine, weapons and other terror activities against the United States.

What happens next is the real problem, who takes over, what kind of government, can the people rise up and have democracy? All good questions. As in Iran people get tired of becoming slaves to dictators. Are you listening New York? You have made the same fatal mistake by electing a socialist-Marxist! Trump to have a press conference at 11 AM. Rh

And if you’re wondering why – below are the facts:

1. The Venezuelan regime nationalized and expropriated, without compensation, oil facilities belonging to American companies, and later refused to pay the billions of dollars in compensation awarded against it in World Bank arbitration.

2. Transferring management of Venezuela’s oil industry from private hands to the government triggered the collapse of the country’s economy even before U.S. sanctions, which merely accelerated the process.

3. In order to cope with the catastrophe it created, the Chávez–Maduro regime found a new ally: Iran.

4. Venezuela and Iran cooperate in the military sphere (including the development of drones) and in circumventing the international and American sanctions imposed on both.

5. Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro’s leadership is an active player in flooding the United States with hard drugs. Each year, more than 100,000 Americans die from drug overdoses.

6. According to the international community, Maduro lost the elections held in Venezuela and falsified his victory.

7. Maduro’s regime is a Bolshevik dictatorship that violently suppresses all opposition.
