Russian and Chinese support for Venezuela has largely dried up, with no prospect of real military or financial aid.

Wow, they’re unreliable allies? No way!
Which is so stupid for them,since it would serve their own imperalist interest to not let Venezuela fall
Not really, not in the terms that matter, ready access to oil not controlled by rivals. China has offered quite a lot of loans to Venezuela, secured in oil. Venezuelan oil production is, for whatever reason you want to blame, far below the Chavez days.
It’s almost certain that China won’t defend Venezuela by force out of pure ideology, they aren’t the Soviets in that regard for damn sure, and they don’t seem inclined to believe they’ll recoup their investments under Maduro.
Short of Venezuela selling their sovereignty and putting Chinese bases everywhere to defend Chinese-managed oil production I’m not sure what they can offer for protection.
As for Russian guarantees…
Lol
Tl;Dr the rambling nonsense,
It’s not in their interests for America to conquer more oil reserves, but Venezuela isn’t offering enough incentives (sweet tasty oil) on their own to actually be worth stopping it either.
Why would that be? Trump’s america is part of their empire.
Trump america is still imperliast america and wantt to profit from both sides of the russian war of agression
Yea but they stand to gain more by letting trump do what he wants. If we start a pointless forever war in South America Russia can have it’s forever war in eastern Europe
Europeans take note.
This is the type of solidarity China will demonstrate when your Chinese investments get frozen.deleted by creator
