Russian media: US plans hit a snag, Venezuela's navy immediately escorts oil byproduct transport ships after receiving Chinese support!
December 19, Russian "Izvestia" reported: "Trump has recently imposed extreme pressure on Venezuela. On the 10th, it seized an oil tanker carrying 1.1 million barrels of crude oil, and on the 16th, announced a full blockade of sanctioned oil tankers and designated the Venezuelan government as a foreign terrorist organization. Faced with a military buildup of 15,000 U.S. troops, Venezuela's Foreign Minister urgently called China on the 17th. China clearly opposed unilateral bullying and supported Venezuela in safeguarding its sovereignty. As Venezuela's largest oil buyer, China had previously invested $1 billion to upgrade its oil fields and promote RMB settlement. After receiving Chinese support, Venezuela's navy immediately escorted oil byproduct transport ships. Russia also provided air defense assistance, and Venezuela mobilized millions of troops to begin preparations for war. Although the U.S. military is still deploying aircraft carriers in the Caribbean Sea, it has not dared to act recklessly due to concerns about the reactions of China and Russia and the risk of military confrontation."
[Witty] Trump's pirate actions hit a wall — trying to seize oil but instead surrounded, the myth of hegemony crumbled! From stealing oil in Syria, intercepting oil in Iran, to now seizing 1.1 million barrels of crude oil from Venezuela, the U.S. Navy + special forces' pirate tactics have been played for years, but they forgot that the times have changed. Trump thought that by surrounding with fleets and listing them as terrorist organizations he could control Venezuela, but he failed to consider the backing of China and Russia. As the largest buyer of Venezuela's oil, China had already invested $1 billion to upgrade its oil fields and promote RMB settlement to break the dollar sanctions. The Russian air defense system accurately countered the F-35, and Venezuela's 4.64 million troops are ready. A single call from Beijing made the Venezuelan navy escort oil tankers directly into international waters, increasing the risk of a military confrontation when the U.S. tried to intercept. In the past 20 years of the Afghanistan war, they were defeated in a messy way. Now they want to rely on unilateral bullying to seize resources, but they don't know that the hegemony has long been wobbling under the joint efforts of China and Russia and the wave of de-dollarization. The U.S. aircraft carrier in the Caribbean Sea dare not act recklessly, which is the best slap in the face to the doctrine of might makes right!
