Russia provided Venezuela with air Defense that lasted 2 seconds. 🤣

Russian Air Defenses in Venezuela Collapse as US Forces Storm Caracas

Despite previous reports that Russia had supplied Venezuela with additional air defense systems in 2024, including Buk-M2 and Pantsir units transported by Il-76 aircraft, these systems appear to have been ineffective or neutralized. Defense Express notes that no visible air defense response has been detected in videos recorded during the attacks.

Venezuela’s ground-based air defense network includes 1–2 divisions of S-300VM systems, 3–9 Buk-M2E systems, and over 6 S-125 Pechora-2M units — all of which are Russian-designed. Venezuela’s air force also relies heavily on 21 Su-30MKV fighters, a local variant of the Russian Su-30MK2.

Russia, a key military partner to Venezuela, had attempted to bolster the country’s air defenses in late 2024, but the current operation raises questions about the operational effectiveness of those systems in a modern battlefield environment.

Jammers.

Any criticism the US government has made of Russia's invasion has just been rendered moot. Something so obviously hypocritical is just a joke now.

Russia could go and snatch Zelensky. China could snatch Lai. These things would be bad, but, hey, that's the way things are done now.

Using Trump's imbecility to justify Putin's, as if Putin would have even given Zelensky a trial.

There you go. Russia aggressively tried to expand into american sphere of influence. USA had to preemptively, defensively, invade! Thus i would rather call it a "police" action than a war. All Venezuela now has to do is to give the oil fields to the USA, install a US friendly regime, reduce army strength and accept useless guarantees by Trump.

Problem solved.

US-backed right-wing military coups in Latin America:

And yet, according to you, it took only until now to render any criticism by the US government moot.

So I guess all this US backing wasn't that bad after all.

Indeed, Venezuela got too close to BRICKS.

In his current term, Trump has bombed

Iran
Iraq
Nigeria
Somalia
Syria
Yemen
Venezuela

And of course he's continued to supply bombs to Israel, which is currently dropping them on Gaza City and Khan Younis.

BRICS is just a way to weaken USA and then split it up in order to plunder its resources. Its all orchestrated by Russia! Russia is tryng to encircle the USA. Venezuela definitely should not have a say about what alliances it wants to join. Its in the historically well established sphere of interest of the USA. Are there any english speaking minorities that happen to be oppressed in any way in Venezuela? Asking for a friend

And what is this supposed to prove? ANYONE who's looked into the history of Latin America in the past 200 years knows it's been a history of American meddling.

The US likes to meddle with Middle- and South American politics!? Wow!! I had NO idea! Thank you so much for educating me! Can you also recommend some authors of philosophy to me?

[The Valkyrie]

So, I get home and Trump has started a war with South America and is making threatening comments towards Mexico.

2026 is going to be fun...
