Time for another coup d'état

Once in a blue moon Venezuela again, America?
Someone needing money for a budget in shutdown times - or does someone need a scenario at the South border in order to desperately reason his wall project with that?
Okay, let's be fair, let that all be conspiracy theory...
That part of that which is no conspiracy are the prices at the pretrol stations in Europe: From one to the other week, they can climb 15 cents at once back to their high.

The news have carried it so far to mention these plans of the US to send 5000 (?) soldiers to Columbia for this.
If they really do this, their intentions will be very clear.
They're literally spoiling for a fight...

I don't know, somehow this rings a bell to the Ukraine conflict the stirred up.
Only in this case now, it doesn't look so obvious if they're gonna get their way.

Yes, I've heard something in a row and I think they could do what ever they like in South America - it is a long distance for Russian planes to get...

Don't the Russians have a military base there or didn't they intend to build one there?

"Don't the Russians have a military base there or didn't they intend to build one there?"

As I know we don't. I personally do not know and Putin is not asking me would we like to have some base at South America. Anyway I think, it is very expensive for Russia to move to the West and what for, to stop the possible local war, to stop USA we could from any point on the world oceans map having the nuclear submarines.

Just asked because the idea wouldn't be so odd...
Relationships with Venezuela have quite a bit of tradition meanwhile.

"Relationships with Venezuela have quite a bit of tradition meanwhile."

The tradition of our relationship with Cuba and whole South America based at USSR times was meant to be a competitor to USA and Russia now is certainly couldn't afford to be one. We don't have no money no desire.

And even just because of that factor it could have been they had something over there...
Well, so it's not the case. Maybe for the better, maybe for worse.
