Don’t meddle in Venezuela, Moscow tells coup-cheering Washington

[the other mike]

Someone needs to stand up to the bully.

Russia has criticized the US government for bullying Venezuela and encouraging its opposition to stage a coup against President Nicolas Maduro, who was sworn in for his second term last week.

“Nations should avoid meddling in other nations’ internal affairs,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday. He said that Washington’s encouragement of opposition forces in Venezuela “has made them unwilling to seek reconciliation [with the president], which is regretful.”

Venezuela is currently in a political crisis, with the opposition-controlled National Assembly declaring President Maduro a “usurper” and its speaker, Juan Guaido, an “interim president” of the country. The move came after strong public support from Washington, which has been advocating toppling Maduro for quite some time.

Washington has targeted Maduro’s government with a series of crippling economic and personal sanctions, and reportedly considered a military intervention in the country.

If Maduro had been fairly elected that might be a valid point. It was not a fair and Maduro is a two bit dictator.

We need to remain vigilant concerning Venezuela since the Democraps have been hell-bent on igniting another full blown cold war with Russia.
That's all.

I'd send Bernie Sanders, Alexa Occasionally Correct and any other pinheaded Progressive advocating Socialism

They would get lost.

If this is so important to Russia why isn’t donald trump, whom I’m told is their b$&@$ by so many nut jobs on the left, obeying his Russian masters?
