U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said in an interview with the media today (Beijing time, December 22): "We are not worried about the risk of escalation of conflict with Russia over the Venezuela issue. They are already in a mess over the Ukraine issue. We have always expected someone to openly support the Maduro regime. If Sergey Lavrov sees this, I wish him a merry Christmas."
[Witty] Comment: The United States is acting recklessly, openly violating international law, and brutally pressuring Venezuela with its hegemony. At present, Russia is indeed deeply involved in the complex situation in Ukraine, struggling with resource allocation and focus, and truly lacks the 'extra power' to pay strong attention to the Venezuela issue. Although the U.S. actions have been condemned by the international community, they have faced no substantial constraints. The international community remains a "jungle society" where the strong dominate the weak. This is an unfortunate reality.
