THE US ATTACK IN VENEZUELA

I'm going to enlighten some people who are ignorant about geopolitics.

First, it's important to understand the difference between strategic agreements and mutual defense agreements between two countries.

Strategic agreements allow two countries to supply each other with weapons as much as they wish, depending on their needs, but without direct military intervention.
Mutual defense agreements, on the other hand, obligate signatory countries to help each other in the event of a conflict, with weapons and troops, without restriction, like NATO or the ESA.

You should know that Russia has only signed mutual defense agreements with two countries: North Korea and Belarus.
For a long time, Russia has tried to create a NATO-type alliance to counter the West, but all the countries approached refused, for fear of Western sanctions. Iran, in fact, paid part of the price. Without the strategic agreements that allowed Russia to quickly supply weapons to iran, Israel would probably have gained the upper hand.  Thanks to these rapid deliveries, the use of Russian satellites for improved targeting, and the accelerated redeployment of missile defense batteries, Iran was able to withstand the Twelve Day War.

I see some ignorant people talking about Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and Bashar al-Assad.

Gaddafi had no agreement with either Russia or China. He had instead aligned himself with Sarkozy, who ultimately betrayed him. I even heard a Chinese chief of staff explain that Russia had done everything it could to get closer to Gaddafi, but that he had declined the offer.

Saddam Hussein was one of the United States' biggest partners. He was even used to wage war against Iran, despite warnings from Iranians that he was making a grave mistake. He chose to listen to those who later became his executioners, isolated him, and left him to face his fate alone. Bashar al-Assad was betrayed by his own high-ranking military officers, who ordered the soldiers not to fight. They were allegedly bribed by American intelligence services. Russia had warned Assad a month earlier that his soldiers were betraying him, but he ignored them. Russia had also advised him to arm and reform his army to confront the advancing enemy, as it was already preoccupied in Ukraine with NATO. Again, he ignored these warnings, and that is how he was driven out by the terrorists.

It should also be noted that Russia conducted several airstrikes against these terrorists, pushing them back several kilometers. However, after negotiations with Trump and the terrorist leader, Russia halted its strikes. The terrorist leader himself acknowledged that Russia had killed many of his soldiers, but maintained that agreements existed between them and that Russia was obligated to respect them. To this day, Russia still maintains bases in Syria. Tell the United States to attack North Korea or Belarus, and we'll see what happens.
