Russia warned that 'U.S. military action in Venezuela is not an abstraction, but a possible reality that is admitted in Washington.' China echoed similar concerns about Cuba.
Russia and China have condemned recent U.S. moves in Latin America, where they accuse President Donald Trump's administration of warmongering and interfering in the affairs of sovereign countries.
"Once again I would like to repeat: all Russian actions on Venezuelan territory are consistent with the legal government of the Bolivarian Republic," she added, recalling U.S. invasions of countries such as Yugoslavia and Iraq."Apparently, the U.S. military is really considering the possibility of repeating this sad experience—to start bombing civilian structures and people, who are guilty only of supporting the legitimate president of their country that does not like Washington.
In addition to cracking down on Venezuela via sanctions that have exacerbated an economic crisis also attributed to internal mismanagement, the U.S. announced new restrictions Wednesday intended to limit the flow of U.S. and foreign capital to Cuba.
China too has sent a delegation carrying humanitarian assistance to Venezuela. Iran has as well, via the privately-owned Mahan Air sanctioned by the U.S. over allegations it was used to transport personnel and equipment for the elite Revolutionary Guards that the U.S. recently designated a terrorist organization.
