And Will Either Risk War?
The Russian Ambassador to the United States, Vladimir Zaemski, has just had some interesting things to say about the U.S.-Russia standoff in Venezuela. His words are very interesting because many presumed the USA's desired regime-change in Venezuela -- from the troubled but Russia-friendly Maduro to the ambitious U.S.-friendly Guaido -- would have taken place as far back as January when the Trump administration insisted Guaido was/is Venezuela's rightful President. Now the U. S. claims it hasn't happened because POOR LITTLE CUBA is keeping Maduro afloat. Of course, it's the Big Boy, meaning Russia, that has stalled Trump's and Miami's designs on oil-rich but destitute and deeply U.S.-sanctioned Venezuela. So, here is what Vladimir Zaemski said to the U. S. and the world about Russia's current Venezuelan position:
"The U. S. is lying when it says Russia has a new military contract with Venezuela. Our only military-technical deal with Venezuela was in 2001 with Hugo Chavez, but it is still valid. Saying such things, and saying tiny Cuba is the big military power keeping Maduro in office is stupid. It's a pretext in Washington to create a military situation. It bespeaks of John Bolton, the world's most dangerous war idiot and...what's his title, National Security Adviser? Well, our National Security adviser Franz klinsevich calls Bolton a lying conspiracy freak, and so do a lot of Americans in Washington, I see. And I call Bolton Mr. Trump's accident waiting to happen in Latin America...and that's a spot America doesn't need a war...uh, I mean a accident."
Yes, while the U. S. has the world's strongest overall military, Russia can match the U. S. {some say exceed} the U. S. when it comes to nuclear power. Assuming Americans are stupid and sufficiently proselytized, Trump claims little Cuba is the POWER keeping Maduro afloat in Venezuela but, in reality, of course, it's Russia.
Don't be fooled by Trump Tweets about Russia removing "most of their people from Venezuela." Russia still has enough "people" in Venezuela to keep Trump from turning his war-mongers like Bolton and Abrams on Venezuela, at least at the moment.
But easily the stupidest and most dangerous thing Trump has done during the first 2.5 years of his presidency was anointing Little Havana lightweight Marco Rubio as the USA's Cuban dictator in an obvious trade-off for Rubio supposedly being able to deliver Florida's massive haul of 29 electoral votes that are considered vital to Trump's 2020 reelection. Rubio's entire economic and political career has been based on dancing to every tune sung by the Counter Revolutionary Cuban extremists who rule his hometown of Little Havana in Miami. Rubio, as indicated by the graphic above, views the regime-change in Venezuela as the prelude to the regime-change in Cuba that the Little Havana extremists have violently championed since January of 1959.
Months ago, as shown above, Rubio was so convinced that his regime-change in Venezuela was so imminent...just hours away...that he went to the Venezuelan-Colombian border to celebrate. But photos like this reminded the world that a Rubio in charge of America's modern Caribbean and Latin American imperialism might herald a return of vicious U.S.-backed dictators from the historical past such as...Batista in Cuba, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Somoso in Nicaragua, Pinochet in Chile, ETC., ETC., ECT.
Since January, the U. S. has had enough major allies, including Latin American superpower Brazil as well as well-armed Colombia and the 28-nation European Union, to bring about the USA's desired regime-change in Venezuela. But there has been one huge problem: The people the Trump administration STUPIDLY put in charge of regime-changes in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua were only extremely biased and well-known WAR-MONGERS. The Little Havana-dictated and Cuba-obsessed Rubio was Trump's biggest mistake but study the montage below and you will understand why supposedly easy 2019 regime-changes in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua are not all that EASY.
In the middle above is Juan Guaido and he is shown flanked by John Bolton and Elliott Abrams. Guido is Miami's and Trump's choice as the President of Venezuela. Bolton and Abrams have well-known reputations as the greatest war-mongers in America with Bolton, Trump's National Security Adviser, and Abrams, Trump's Envoy to Venezuela, both famed for advocating military operations against smaller nations such as Cuba and now Venezuela. When Trump ignorantly put Bolton and Abrams in charge of regime-changes in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, snags were sure to follow because there is no official in the Caribbean or Latin America unaware of the reputations Bolton and Abrams have earned. Even moderately respected Republican diplomats that Trump could have named would have skirted America's reputation for past fierce regime-changes from 1953 deep into the 1970s, with 1973's coup that killed popular democratically elected President Salvador Allende in Chile to install the U.S.-friendly but infamously murderous dictator General Pinchot for 17 bloody years still being most vividly remembered throughout all of Latin America although Americans to this day are not supposed to GOOGLE such sordid details. But since then, opposition leaders in Latin America, like Juan Guaido now in Venezuela, hang on the phone to Miami and Washington supporters trying to solicit money and military might from the USA to, if necessary, install them the way Pinochet was installed in Chile.

Go back to the top of this post and re-read what Russia's Ambassador to the United States, Vladimir Zaemski, had to say this week about Trump's and America's National Security Adviser John Bolton. If Americans didn't cringe when Trump resurrected a plethora of anti-Cuban war-mongers from the old Bush dynasty like Bolton, Abrams, Reich, Claver-Carone, etc., etc., rest assured that all of the USA's friends and all of the USA's enemies DID CRINGE.
