[Russia Venezuela American aggression] Today Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned the Trump administration's execution of military strikes on alleged drug traffickers accused of being sailing from Venezuela to traffic narcotics to the United States. In a statement to the Press, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the execution of military aerial strikes “excessive force” as she condemned America’s actions and expressed support of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro’s stance against American military operations which targets civilians in international waters.

Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova not only called for de-escalation, but she demanded that America subject itself to the international frameworks but in place which guarantees freedom of navigation for all people in international waters put in place by the U.N charter and the Charter of the Organization of American States.

Currently America has an estimated 10,000 troops and additional military assets on stand-by in the Caribbean. To counter that Russia has not only deployed the Aviacon Zitotran, which is a cargo plane which is typically used to transport military-based assets to strategic locations around the globe. It should be known that the Russian made Aviacon Zitotran are currently under American sanctions. As of recently, both Russian troops and Russian mercenary group Wagner Group are training Venezuelan military forces and various militia organizations. Wagner Group is also providing executive protection for President Nicolas Maduro.

This comes on the heels of the newly signed Strategic Partnership and Cooperation Treaty between Venezuela and Russia last month on October 27th. Although the signing of this strategic partnership and cooperation agreement between the two nations is centered around mining, trade, various investments, and energy; it also includes an estimated $4 billion in weapons and other essential military assets. It should be known that the Trump administration has issued a $50 million bounty for anyone who executes an arrest on President Nicolas Maduro’s. Currently there are no takers.

It is our prediction that because Russia is currently working with the government of Venezuela in terms of providing executive protection and the training of both the Venezuelan military and local militias; China will not be so far behind in also providing military assistance in whatever capacity it is requested and needed. Of course, when it comes to China getting involved in Venezuela, it should be understood that China will not send troops to directly fight alongside Venezuela. What China would most likely do is sell technology and weapons to Venezuela and assist in the build-up of Venezuela's infrastructure; a feat in which they’ve always been in whatever country they have operated in.

President Nicolas Maduro will most likely be ok and in the best of health with no coup or assassination taking place. However, what he does have to worry about is the long-lasting negative effects war with the Americans will cost him in the long run. Remember, a simple miscalculation could render a rupture on the world stage. It seems as if president trump never received this lesson.
