"Putin goes all-in": US invasion of Venezuela can not be avoided?

12
The tour of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Latin America is increasingly beginning to resemble either the preparations for a general attack on the rebellious Venezuela, or the watch of the "troops" in front of him. The rhetoric of the United States and its satellites, directed not so much against the legitimate president of the country, Nicolas Maduro, but against those who support him, despite all the efforts of Washington, Russia and China, is becoming more aggressive. Threats - more and more undisguised. Has the United States decided to take extreme measures? Let's look at the facts.





Mr. Pompeo rides around the capitals and countries that your grasshopper is today in Chile, tomorrow in Paraguay, then Peru, Colombia, and now he is giving a press conference with the Foreign Minister of Brazil, which once again demands a full and unconditional surrender in the Venezuelan issue from the "slow-witted" Moscow and Beijing. What kind of fever throwing? Alas, rather, this, on the contrary, is the implementation of a certain clear plan. It is very similar to the fact that Washington, nevertheless leaning towards a “forceful” solution to the problem, is checking the readiness of those who have to go to storm Caracas in the forefront. After all, there is no doubt that the United States will try very hard to minimize the direct participation of its own military personnel in real hostilities. At least until the Venezuelan army poses a real danger to them, as it is now.

Where does the thought of a military invasion come from? They beg for themselves, if you carefully listen to the words of Pompeo himself, who is already building a clear and unambiguous "logical chain" to justify it. All that is needed is in the Secretary of State’s “programmatic” interview with Voice of America, which he gave last Saturday while in Paraguay. Without a doubt, this is precisely the informational propaganda message that Washington today wants to send to the "masses". So to speak, an answer prepared in advance to the question: “What are our guys doing in Venezuela ?!” In this speech, there are references to all the components necessary to justify the next intervention of the US army: “criminal regime”, “foreign invasion”, “deep crisis”, “the need to restore democracy”. According to Pompeo, Venezuela is generally controlled not even by Maduro, but by “Cubans and Russians,” to whom the president “transferred all power.” The Venezuelan people, naturally, "do not want to be ruled from a small island or from Moscow." The Secretary of State knows for sure that he longs for "his own democracy" - so that he will be controlled from Washington ...

And also in Venezuela (according to Pompeo), they “rule” China and Iran. The Chinese, of course, are “engaged in corruption” - that is, they run “with bags of money” and “buy officials”. And, by the way, it is their investments in the economy Venezuela, its national economy and "destroyed"! Iran, as one would expect, supports “international criminal organizations”: Hezbollah and “terrorism in the region.” Here, forgive me, it is not clear whether Hezbollah infiltrated Latin America, whether Mr. Secretary of State was talking, or whether he had hallucinations on the basis of the world-famous pathological hatred of Tehran. But about China, Pompeo is frankly utter: “We don’t want them to introduce Huawei and their other Technology! " You can’t tell more clearly. Well, in order to prevent the Chinese 5G at hand, the USA can really start a war. And the mention of Iran, a sign in general - is nowhere worse. Cooperation with this country today in the eyes of Washington justifies the most aggressive actions against any state in the world.

Regarding Russia, Pompeo insists that her statements about the inadmissibility of the American invasion of Venezuela are "simply ridiculous" - because "the Russians have already invaded there in the most thorough way." Also a very alarming sign. Once the State Department began to speak not just about the "illegitimate regime", but about the "Russian invasion", something serious is being prepared. By the way, the words of the Secretary of State instantly, as befits any self-respecting puppet, was picked up by Khan Gaido, immediately beginning to scream out loud about the Russian and Cuban "military intervention", carried out at the direct request of the legitimate president. Well, for the sake of greater importance, he undertook to intimidate compatriots also with the “Syrian threat” - they say, he knows for certain that Maduro is already conducting relevant negotiations with Bashar al-Assad himself. Why do not you lie, so as to seize power ...

In Washington, meanwhile, they continue to strike at Caracas and its allies with new and new sanctions - the other day, several shipping companies from Liberia and Italy, as well as nine tankers, which, according to the USA, “transported oil stolen to Cuba the Maduro regime among the Venezuelan people. ” However, the hell with sanctions is the most unpleasant thing, that the first voice in favor of open intervention was voiced in Washington already on Capitol Hill. Thus, US Senator Rick Scott called on US authorities to “seriously consider the use of military force to deliver humanitarian aid to Venezuela,” since the “Maduro regime” carries out the real “genocide” in the country. Well, yes - they will be dropping with the F-35 so as not to miss ... This is already like two drops of water similar to preparing the soil for an invasion at the legislative level.

Among other things, the American media is also not tired of encouraging the White House to take the most extreme measures. To cite just one example: The Washington Post allows itself to publish editorial articles that raise the question: “Well, maybe Donald Trump will speak out against Putin at least in Venezuela?” The publication escalates a real psychosis - they say, "Vladimir Putin goes all-in in Venezuela, forming a global anti-American coalition," and if he is not stopped, it will "allow Moscow to laugh at the" red lines "that Washington is following!" Trump's time to “end his policy appeasement, "otherwise the whole Monroe concept, which has guarded the security of the United States for centuries, will go to hell! And in general - “the world will become more multipolar, as Putin wants it” ...

There is, of course, a grain of truth in the above brief squeeze from American patriotic hysteria. At least regarding multipolarity. The danger of the present moment lies precisely in the fact that Venezuela can really be perceived by Venezuela as a kind of “last frontier”, departing from which the USA will finally lose the remnants of the image of “world hegemon”. And after all, honestly, that is how it will be! After that, the Americans will have to conduct their affairs, so to speak, on a common basis - to negotiate, to seek compromises, to yield. Are they ready for this? Under the current regime and the prevailing attitude towards “great America” there, it is extremely unlikely. It is on this basis that it is worth seriously considering the option of Washington organizing an intervention in Venezuela of its Latin American vassals with one degree or another of its own participation. Too many very characteristic signs ...

    Has the United States decided to take extreme measures?

    There will be no invasion. I remember amerikosy who also arranged their show in North Korea when they threatened Kim. We drove all my cavalry, all my army, and even an aircraft carrier, with his retinue of ships ... so what? Kim Jong-un was not afraid and laughed, having doused them with his radiant smile. The Americans were offended terribly, they are not just not afraid, but laugh at them. They took care and went home sad. The whole world is still laughing at them laughing So do not be afraid of them, they are cowardly, they can only scare and threaten.

      So it certainly is! But North Korea has an Army (with a capital letter, a million soldiers, albeit with outdated weapons) and iron discipline! The complete absence of the so-called "opposition"! And also nuclear weapons! Therefore, it was useless to rock the boat. these guys will bury others and themselves, if that ... But Maduro has only an army (albeit the most well-armed in South America) and unfortunately that's all ... It's good that part of the population supports ...

    What is the difference between a talker diplomat and a person engaged in real business?

    But about China, Pompeo is utterly frank: “We do not want them to introduce Huawei and their other technologies!”

    In September 2018, the Pentagon released a report. Widely discussed in many forums

    The main conclusion of the report: “China poses a significant and increasing risk in the supply of materials that are considered critical to US national security. <...> Areas of concern in terms of the US manufacturing and military-industrial base include a growing number of widely used and specialized metals, alloys, rare earth metals and permanent magnets ". In general, everything is bad, from aluminum to cybersecurity, from rockets switches to engineers and milling machines, from CNC machines to synthetic fabric for military tents. The greed of American business, the ideology of globalization and the iron belief that history, as predicted by Fukuyama, was about to end, together caused damage to the US defense that geopolitical opponents could not even dream of. It is the realization of this fact that explains Donald Trump's attempts to reindustrialize America almost by force.

    Of course I would not want a war in Venezuela.
    But Russia and China are even beneficial in a sense. To get the States pulled into it. There will be an opportunity to give them a snot. And far from their native shores. I do not see anything impossible in this.
    Venezuela, if you will, is a turning point in recent history. If Russia and China are far away from it, a new era will begin in international politics.

      that’s true, but if the United States unleashes the fighting by throwing its vassals, Brazilians, Uruguayans and other Venezuelan neighbors into the first battle, then completely different events may develop. There will be no tipping point in relations with the United States. Damn, I want to put this parasitic society in its place. Well, not yet evening.

    Everything in essence is correct. The probability of invasion is very high. Highly. But there is one caveat in my opinion. This time. And it does not play on the side of the Americans. While Pompeo coccyxes the lambada with Brazil, time is running out. And this may be the straw that broke the ridge of a camel. The political statements of Colombia, Chile there, it’s one thing, that’s real readiness for business, for a moment it’s completely different. And after the arrival of a Russian general to Venezuela with a group of comrades, this readiness will tend to zero. There the rocket carriers will fly up, the boat will visit Havana. To smoke cigarettes there, it can roll rum - this is how all the steam in the whistle of the Americans will go away. Of course, there will be one more, sanctions will be announced there, but this is another matter. Or maybe it will go according to another scenario, who knows? I would not want to. This is my personal opinion.

      Ever stop confusing money with geopolitics? What is one example over the past 100-200 years, when money solved something in the political situation? There were traitors, there were direct defectors and traitors to the motherland. They were, are and will be. But when and where was money the determining factor in the foreign policy of the state? If you count the money, it’s easiest not to rock the boat at all. No one doubts that the economic power of the West is an order or two superior to Russian. So what? And nothing.

      Amer profitable to drag Russia into the costs of Madura

      What are the costs? So far, only income.
      Rosneft OAO for IFRS reporting for 2018, the total reserves of the five oil projects in Venezuela in which the Russian company participates are 80 million tons, and the annual production is 3,4 million tons.
      Rosneft also has a gas exploration project in the Patao, Mejillones and Rio Caribe fields with geological reserves of 180 billion cubic meters. m
      The national oil consortium (80% of Rosneft, 20% of Gazprom Neft) owns 40% in the Russian-Venezuelan joint venture Petromiranda (the remaining stake is in the Venezuelan PDVSA), which is developing the Junin-6 field in the country. The block’s geological reserves are 52,6 billion barrels of oil.
      And a bunch of other contracts with different Russian companies.

    I went to look for cannon fodder, but there he is unlikely to find it. It is not for Americans to die. And there you will not manage to bombing. There are leaders loyal there: Bolivia, Brazil, but they are only ready to support, send their soldiers by platoon or company.

      Who is this "loyal subject"? Evo Morales or what? Hugo Chavez's best friend, "loyal" US?

    One has only to look at the map of the area and it becomes immediately clear that there will be no invasion from the word "at all". All our couch warriors are fighting only speculatively, scattering their / foreign armored divisions to the right and left, and when they descend to the ground, they find where they were going to fight - mountains (separating Venezuela from Colombia and Brazil) and there are no roads. They do not know how to fight in the selva, but they make plans. Only carpet bombing, following the example of Yugoslavia and the landing of troops on Caracas, can save Pompeo, but who will let him conduct them?
