Siege the Venezuela - The Trump and the Russian positions...
The question on the menacing of USA to invade Venezuela and the recent declarations on Europe is interfereing in Venezuela, and the others sides accusing Russia on being promoting terror state, socialism and territorial invasion is very inconstant. Let's being into a reality, when talk about Syria, there are lot of acceptance at the USA on bombing military basis, even when they are not in conflict, claiming on having mass destruction bombs, based on assumptions.
The problem that nobody is understanding for being too silly to understand is that Russia has a motive to promote this deffense of Venezuela, but USA has no motive to interfere at this government problem.
Russia legitimates its action when USA and Europe assume a position on agravating the political problem, with a possible military interference.
Let's remember the ancient positions taken by USA in Serbia, when USA reconized the Croatia as a Country Nation, or when USA reconized Ukraine as nation and a part of NATO, Hong Kong as a nation a part of China, and didn't reconized Tibet as a nation, for exemple. The proposal of this is to promote weakening of territorial, promote new friendships and geo-strategic partners, and weakens the government, taking off the legitimacy at it's power.
Trump is now acting over Venezuela because of USA's interest on the territory, not because of the bolivarian government, because it was supposed to have interfered 10 years ago, not, exactly, now.
This position makes the projection of Trump use Venezuela as a proxy and promote geo-strategic position to South America, specially now with Brazilian position of right wing government, promoting a better military and international comerce strenghtened laces.
Other side Russia has a problem with the legitimacy of the government of its own past and nowadays territories, like Kurdish people at the south, Syrian rebels wanting to take off the government, ex-Soviet territories, and this action on take off a government and take the legitimacy of the governments, can raise a jurisprudence at UN, and other country members to promote a legal proccess of independence. For exemple, USA didn't reconize Palestine as a country but reconized Hong Kong when was at it's interest.
So, Russia has interest of a geo-strategic position on South America, also, Russia has interest of not promote jurisprudence on the fact of the ilegitimacy of a non-linear government to USA, neighter support on a provisional government, that can promote legal procedures at Russian territories. Putin is not a friend of Marudo, nor even a supporter of a socialist state, it's just a realpolitik supporter, just as the globalist americanism of Neocon prople.
It's not a problem to support Guaidó, he is a very noble man and Bolivarian Venezuela is a failed country, and the new position of the right wing taking the power can, for sure, assure Venezuela a better state of intern peace and a more progressive economic society.
Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro says any US invasion would be worse than 'Vietnam'
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/01/31/venezuela-nicolas-maduro-says-u-s-invasion-would-worse-than-vietnam/2729781002/
One week after President Donald Trump's administration recognized an opposition leader as Venezuela's interim president, the Latin American nation's disputed leader Nicolas Maduro warned Wednesday that the United States was in danger of turning his country into another Vietnam War.
"People from #USA, I ask for your support in order to reject the interference of Donald Trump's administration which intends to turn my Homeland into a 'Vietnam war' in Latin America. Don't allow it!" Maduro posted on his Twitter account, in English.
In a video published in Spanish on his Facebook account, Maduro said if "the U.S. intends to invade us, they will have a Vietnam worse than they can imagine."
Maduro has accused the U.S. of attempting to stage a coup against his government. Speculation that Trump may be preparing to send troops to Venezuela was fueled this week after National Security Adviser John Bolton was seen holding a notepad that read: "5,000 troops to Colombia." Colombia borders Venezuela.
More than 58,000 Americans and 4 million Vietnamese were killed in the Vietnam War. The second longest war in American history was an expensive and divisive conflict the U.S. entered incrementally from 1955 to 1973 on the side of South Vietnam against Communist North Vietnam. The longest U.S. war is in Afghanistan.
Maduro's comments on social media came as thousands of Venezuelans marched late Wednesday in opposition to his regime and in support of Juan Guaido, a charismatic 35-year-old who heads the opposition. Guaido is an industrial engineer by training and has little governance experience but he has won the backing of many Venezuelans, and Trump and some U.S. allies, for his stated commitment to fighting corruption and revitalizing the oil-rich country's troubled six-decade-old relationship with democracy.
Guaido has vowed to end the "usurpation," a reference to moves by Maduro to accumulate executive power that has weakened Venezuela's courts, undermined its legislative assembly and brought allegations of gross human-rights abuses.
Trump spoke with Guaido by phone Wednesday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said. They "agreed to maintain regular communication to support Venezuela’s path back to stability, and to rebuild the bilateral relationship between the United States and Venezuela," Sanders said. It was an allusion to Maduro but also to the diplomatic tensions that began under his predecessor Hugo Chávez.
The socialist leader assailed U.S. influence in Latin America in his campaign against capitalism and democratic freedoms. It was under Chávez that Venezuela's economic woes intensified. Chavez impoverished Venezuela by expropriating the country's private wealth, especially its oil money, and attempting to redistribute it to the poor. But Chávez's populist policies were staggeringly mismanaged.
Venezuela now has the highest annual inflation rate in the world – more than 100,000 percent – and it is plagued by shortages of essential medicines and food.
In Venezuela's latest presidential election, a controversial vote which he won in May last year, Maduro barred most opposition candidates from running.
The Venezuelan Program for Education-Action in Human Rights, a humanitarian group, alleges that at least 40 people have been killed by paramilitary groups linked to Maduro's government since protests started this month. The U.S. imposed sanctions on Venezuela's state-run oil company, PVDSA, on Monday, and Bolton has said that as far as Washington is concerned "all options are on the table" to resolve the crisis.
About 20 countries have joined the U.S. in recognizing Guaido's leadership, although the European Union, a 28-nation political bloc, has held out. Federica Mogherini, the EU's foreign policy chief, said the EU "will take further actions" if Maduro does not hold a presidential election in the next few days. These actions would likely be sanctions.
China, Russia and Turkey have stood by Maduro.
Vice President Mike Pence is expected in Miami on Friday to meet with members of the Venezuelan exile community and to give a speech backing Guaido.
Still, Carlos Vecchio, a Venezuelan envoy to the U.S. who works with Guaido, told reporters in Washington that his transitional government has not spoken with anyone from the Trump administration about military intervention. And in an article published in The New York Times, Guaido said that he has held secret meetings with members of Venezuela's own military to discuss the possibility of ousting Maduro.
Continuing support from Venezuela's security forces may be key to Maduro's survival.
"The military's withdrawal of support from Mr Maduro is crucial to enabling a change in government, and the majority of those in service agree that the country's recent travails are untenable," Guaido wrote in The Times opinion piece published Wednesday.
Guaido said Thursday that Venezuelan police showed up at his apartment in Caracas to intimidate hid wife. He said his 20-month-old daughter was in the apartment at the time. The police left shortly after neighbors started banging posts and pans, he said.
US urges others to follow European recognition of Venezuela's Juan Guaido
Mike Pompeo also renewed the US call on Venezuela's military to part ways with Maduro, a socialist firebrand who presides over a crumbling economy.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on February 4 welcomed major European powers' recognition of opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela's interim president and urged others to follow suit.
"We encourage all countries, including other EU member states, to support the Venezuelan people by recognizing Interim President Guaido and supporting the National Assembly's efforts to return constitutional democracy to Venezuela," Pompeo said in a statement.
Pompeo also renewed the US call on Venezuela's military to part ways with Maduro, a socialist firebrand who presides over a crumbling economy.
"We repeat our call to the Venezuelan military and security forces to support their country's constitution and protect all Venezuelan citizens, including Interim President Guaido and his family, as well as US and other foreign citizens in Venezuela," Pompeo said.
Major European powers including Britain, France, Germany and Spain on Monday recognized Guaido as leader until new elections are held after President Nicolas Maduro rejected a European ultimatum to call fresh polls.
But the European Union has notable holdouts including Italy, whose populist coalition government was said by diplomats to have blocked an EU bid for tougher action, and Greece, whose ruling leftist Syriza party openly backs Maduro.

'US won't invade Venezuela ... yet'
Security chief Bolton doesn't rule out military action against Maduro

American military intervention in Venezuela is not imminent, US President Donald Trump's national security adviser John Bolton has said - but he reiterated that all options remain on the table.
Asked if US military intervention was imminent - or by Brazil or Colombia or a combination of all three nations - Mr Bolton told the Hugh Hewitt radio show: "No."
Meanwhile in Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia had not yet received a message from Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, who had revealed he had sent a communication to Russia.
"We have not received any messages yet. If or when we receive it, we will review it," Mr Peskov told reporters. He added Russia did not recognise Mr Guaidó as Venezuelan president.
Last night Mr Guaidó said he would defy a government ban on humanitarian aid by sending large convoys of medicine into the country with the help of neighbouring nations.
Mr Guaidó told the Associated Press the move will be a "new test" for Venezuela's military, whose top brass has sided with President Nicolás Maduro since protests against his rule broke out.
Mr Guaidó explained that aid for Venezuela will include life-saving medicines that are scarce in Venezuela and will be transported by vehicles arriving at several border points, after it is shipped into "friendly ports" in neighbouring countries.
"We are not just taking aid from the United States," Mr Guaidó explained. "But in the next few days we will announce a global coalition to send aid to Venezuela."
Global jostling over the leadership of the country intensified yesterday as Mr Guaidó made overtures to his rival's allies Russia and China.
Mr Guaidó told Reuters he had sent communications to both powers, which are Venezuela's top foreign creditors and support Mr Maduro in the UN Security Council despite worries about the cash-strapped country's ability to pay.
The 35-year-old leader argued that Russia and China's interests would be best served by switching the side they back in Venezuela, an Opec member which has the world's largest oil reserves but is in dire financial straits.

"What most suits Russia and China is the country's stability and a change of government," Mr Guaidó said.
"Maduro does not protect Venezuela, he doesn't protect anyone's investments, and he is not a good deal for those countries."
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang, asked if China had been in touch with Mr Guaidó, said they were "maintaining close communication with all parties through various means regarding the situation in Venezuela."
China's co-operation with Venezuela was based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and joint development, he told reporters in Beijing.
"We believe that no matter how the situation develops or changes, co-operation between China and Venezuela will not be damaged."
The intense pressure is led by the United States, which along with most other countries in the Western Hemisphere recognises Mr Guaidó as the country's legitimate interim president, arguing that Mr Maduro stole his second-term election.
Washington on Monday imposed sweeping sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil firm, aimed at pressuring Mr Maduro to step down.
A former union leader, bus driver and foreign minister, the 56-year-old Mr Maduro, who first took office in 2013, has faced waves of protests in recent years as he presided over hyperinflation and chronic food shortages.
Some three million Venezuelans have left the country.
A UN expert on Thursday warned that the US oil sanctions could worsen the humanitarian crisis. (© Daily Telegraph London)
