From what I have been reading about what has been going on in Venezuela, its far more likely they are an advanced contingent of a team of engineers who have been flown into assist with restoration of the electrical generation and distribution system which seems to be have deliberately sabotaged by someone who is trying to grind Venezuela into the dust.
Yeah right. A team of electrical soldiers decked out in military uniforms, complete with a ground troop commander. To fix the electrical grid? Have you lost it or something? I'd sooner buy the Russian's explanation for this, posted right above- which directly contradicts your post. At least they admit it IS military contract related.
I think TrueAmerican is a US govt agent.
ROFL. I am some poor musician dude looking for a job that has never had any connection to any government agency or political party in my entire life. Dude, you need to do more reading. And especially about Russian investment in Venezuela and long standing Russian-Venezuelan military contracts.
Utter, complete and total FAIL.

It wasn't my claim. You were replying to DoctorBluechip's post here:

That was his claim. The bombers returned to their base:

The S-300's are not directly relevant to that post, but an extremely relevant question to this thread. And it's possible they may be directly relevant, considering the military contract servicing claim- they may be there to service exactly that, or others things, who knows.

Hey, how about you go make your own thread, considering that Rubio and electricity have zero to do with a clear military related issue of troops landing on the ground with a commander. Talk about divert and forget! Pff. How about you stay on topic? Or go make your own thread. Enough of this nonsense already. Grr.

Anybody but us. ANYBODY. I'm beyond sick & tired of the US imposing it's idea of what a government should be, imposing it's idea of what's best for a society, outright destabilzing somewhere that was far better off before we Reverse Midas'd it into a lawless hellhole because greed/jealousy, that is not our f#g job to do nor do we have the right.
Russia possibly wants to get their hands dirty? FINE. Let them. If we went in, it'd be carpet bombed into Libya/Iraq 2.0 in short order anyway, let somebody else take a crack at it. They can't possibly do worse than us.
“Before giving advice to somebody to withdraw from somewhere, the United States should bring to life its own concept of exodus, particularly from Syria,” Zakharova said, speaking on Russia’s state Channel One, TASS agency quoted her as saying.

With the latest Trump comment that "Russia's got to get out," the chess game becomes a little clearer with Russia's response:

Checkmate in Syria, and maybe the Russians will take it and withdraw from Venezuela. I don't think the Bear wants to directly tangle with the US either, but if there's one thing they are good at, it's political chess. Note that when it became clear during the Cuban missile crisis that the US was ready to escalate that situation come hell or high water, the Russians withdrew the nuclear weapons. But not before getting something out of the deal.
Venezuela will be at the mercy of whatever high level deals are struck behind the scenes to divide up its oil. The question is, will Trump have the patience to wait out the negotiations, while more Venezuelans starve and more towns get destroyed by angry desperate mobs taking advantage of major blackouts.
Not sure I'd rely on too much more patience from Trump there, Mr. Bear. He's not Kennedy. He is impulsive, but unfortunately for you and Venezuela, he is resolute. And he mostly gets what he wants. One way or the other.
