Dude, when the current Venezuelan “government” lost their last election, who’s military went to Venezuela to anchor their illegitimate ass in place? Yep, the Russians.

People on here commenting about global power in a news community, but apparently forgot the news from just a few short years ago.

When I want to know truthful information about America's enemies I always trust military.com

That was just the first article that came up when I searched. Russian military involvement after the 2019 Venezuelan election is well known and was covered by international news agencies at the time. I'm sorry they don't give you any access to those news sources behind the Great Firewall. Not that your boss would let you read anything like that during your shift at the Chinese troll farm, anyways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_involvement_in_the_Venezuelan_presidential_crisis#Russian_presence There's literally 100 citations at the bottom of the page, maybe you should learn to use a search engine? There's a whole fucking section titled Russian Presence

Doesn't matter what sources I quote anyways, the Chinese troll farm is gonna troll.
