Maduro fell in like three hours. wtf were they supposed to do? Putin and Xi Jinping barely had enough time to just get briefed about the bombing and then boom the dude is under arrest on a US warship. if he had survived for few days then maybe Russia would have done something though even that is quite difficult due to distance.

They had a whole year to do whatever they wanted prior to Maduro being snatched. For starters, they could've provided mercenaries and bodyguards that would've made this whole raid impossible.

But the better question isn't what they were "supposed" to do, it's why should they sink resources into an irrelevant country? If USA tries to invade and occupy Venezuela, it'll either become a nightmare like Afghanistan's occupation, or it'll fold and accept the new regime very quickly.

Either way, whatever aid and preparation Russia/China provide will make very little difference because this is the sort of things that either goes very wrong or very right. So really, there was no point. Maduro should've been better prepared.

You're kidding right? People absolutely believe the US is some paragon of virtue. Not necessarily governments but the laypeople certainly need the hypocrisy pointed out to them. MOFA's condemnation would be forgotten about in a news cycle but mocking the US would be remembered and speak louder than platitudes.

Edit: Imagine this. The MOFA, instead of waffling on about morality, said "Hey Europe, nice treaty ally you got there. All this time, you helped Uncle Sam eat smaller powers and never once considered you yourselves might end up on the menu?"

That's just how governments or even professionals functions. They all know it's bullshit but they still need to follow all protocols, use the correct terms etc. Civil servants being the worst examples of this.

Do you know one reason the so called establishment hates Trump so much? It's not necessarily his ideas are wrong (Biden seems to enjoy copying them). It's coz he doesn't follow government protocol and does things his way. This term he gets less resistance coz he hires only loyalists but now is more familiar with government protocol.

When you put put a formal statement, it's official and can be used against you. Just look at Japan.

Don't go on LinkedIn posts. Your head would explode.

if they don’t want trump as their king, why are they enabling his pettiness? They should’ve given him that Nobel peace prize, it means nothing anyway and would’ve give him a pt against Obama.

Ironically, I do very well on my HR screenings because I keep it real but personable. Then I bomb the technical interviews afterwards, haHA!

MOFA sounds like the social outcast who kills the vibe of parties by being completely out of touch—you can be technically correct but it doesn't matter if nobody is listening. Speaking bureaucratese is the fastest way to lose the people you're trying to speak to.

Bureaucratese isn't meant to convince anyone. It also doesn't need to because countries don't fall for bullshit and words alone.

it is a standardized language of veiled threats and plausible deniability. If people don't listen then that is their problem when you exert hard power on them as they found out during the Korean War and in 1962. For their own interests they better listen to you and if they don't, then whatever happens, happens.

History is repeating itself. We are going to see who is the Chamberlain of the 21st century. Starmer, Macron, or both?

Maduro was obviously back stabbed. I don’t think some people understand that even if Russia or China chose to provided any support that it would have changed anything. China could give them dozens of fighter jets but it doesn’t matter if their internal security is about as secured as a block of Swiss cheese.

They were paid off to stand down as 2 slow helicopters flew over a full moon into the capital with zero resistance. Just like in Syria when the SAA was paid off by the CIA and disappeared into the void shortly after. There is no reason for China or Russia to provide significant support to a weak state that is irrelevant geopolitically and lacks strategic purposes due to its far distance.

The guy was clearly backstabbed.

see, trump earned that Nobel peace prize

This is perfect example of US inbuilt Soft Power advantage built over 100 years. Russia had less than 10 years of it.
Russia should abolish this MF ministry. A Ukranian Kirilll Dmitriev that Putin attached to MBS is talking to American to manage Ukraine conflict. Israeli does not want to deal with it. and the Soft Power inside Russia had negative opinion cemented when MBS came to FIFA opening match in Moscow and they saw the acts of foreigners. They think only closed society can be fixed.
MBS is visionary leader.
