‘Bad for Moscow’ Trump appears to be weighing military action in Venezuela. Russia’s far-right pundits have some thoughts. — Meduza
October 20, 2025 - But what it can do, he said, is “support Caracas with money, weapons, and political and economic backing, and help break through any potential blockades — provided Maduro’s regime proves stable enough to offer real resistance.” ... But there’s another, bigger player involved, Ishchenko added: Beijing. “China has a much stronger interest in keeping the current Venezuelan government in place, because if the U.S. gains the power to dictate oil prices, Beijing will be hit hardest,” he said. Meanwhile, the consequences for Russia would come later, he argued.

r/PoliticalDebate on Reddit: Can the United States prevail over Russia in the conflict with Venezuela?
November 13, 2025 -

Hello, here is a video of your international relations teacher Jesús López Almejo where he analyzes the current situation of the imperialist threat of the United States against Venezuela and the activation of the mutual defense agreement between Venezuela and Russia.

I have seen some podcasts of political analysts who maintain that in the scenario of an armed conflict arising, the Russian strategy is to immediately attack the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier with Oresnic missiles and completely destroy it since it would be a key piece of the US army that should be destroyed.

The question is do you believe that the United States currently has the military power to confront Russia and neutralize it in the context of this tension in the Caribbean or does Russia currently have military power that the United States cannot counter? https://www.youtube.com/live/KWXMawj5A_A?si=4-xyODY3TqBBSdH9
