Venezuela Might Be The Next War?

There are all sorts of maneuvering and skulduggery going on in the entire AOR right now.

The US is beefing up a lot of South and Central American countries (except Mexico), and Russia is sending "advisers" into Venezuela, and TBH so are we. We'd obviously like a more stable democratic government that would also do whatever we tell them to, and Putin would like a nice stable Communism that will do whatever HE tells them.

You haven't heard a lot about it because it's not gotten to a DA sort of advice yet. But it might.

No, more like he's taking advantage of an opening. They've been in there 'assisting' and 'advising' for several years but it's lately ramped up.

Another failed socialist experiment

Nice try. Venzuela is a dictatorship, it has been for decades. That's not the same as socialism. A lot of socialist countries in Europe are doing quite well.

You just did it again: "Putin did it".

I think you're a bit lacking in reading comprehension.

eta: Well, let's go for it - more than a bit. As in - I'm not sure how it's logically possible to get from what I said to what you said without chemical modifiers.

Venezuela EU backed opposition forces are now openly threatening to kill and burn journalists.

Apparently EU operations in Venezuela have failed.
