"US backyard": Bolton said that Washington will not allow the creation of a Russian military base in Venezuela

Former security adviser to US President Donald Trump, John Bolton, put Venezuela and its leader Nicolas Maduro under unprecedented pressure. But all his efforts did not lead to the overthrow of the president of this South American country.

John Bolton was interviewed by the Spanish newspaper ABC last week on US policy towards Venezuela.

During the conversation, he said that one of his main goals during his tenure as Trump's adviser was to fight Nicholas Maduro, who is a follower of the course of Hugo Chavez.

Bolton believes that the population of Venezuela does not support their president, and his power is based on a small group of high-ranking officials who subsist on proceeds from drug trafficking and racketeering. The ex-adviser is also confident that Russia and China are providing significant financial support to Caracas. He believes that there is a danger that the Russian Federation or the PRC will create its own military base in Venezuela, but the United States will not allow this. Bolton also notes the significant support for Nicolas Maduro by Cubans.

According to the ex-adviser to Trump, although the United States does not consider the option of direct military intervention in Venezuela's affairs as a priority, it is still not ruled out.

Cuba and Venezuela are viewed as the "backyard" of the United States, which is why in Washington the very talks about the possibility of creating Russian or Chinese military bases in Latin America are perceived extremely painfully. On the other hand, by placing its military bases all over the world, including at the borders of the Russian Federation, the United States least of all takes into account other people's interests.

Russia has every right to protect Russian investments and interests in Venezuela.
As well as to implement allied obligations.
So that yard is not lined with mattresses.

Cuba and Venezuela are seen as the US backyard

Yes, they consider the whole world in this context, only in their own "light", they cannot put things in order, they have so neglected that they already stink from all corners, the living creatures have been littered with tolerasts, lgbts, but they do not know how to clean up after them.

Do we need it ??
And nobody canceled useful sanctions.

There is no opposition in our country.
We have either officials or the elected representatives of the people.
It is not profitable to be an opposition. No access to budget

I don't even want to talk about those homosexuals who call themselves oppositionists.
Those who tell how they fucked each other are fighting for the allocation of the State Department.

We have a democracy! People are competing in elections for a seat on the pie called BUDGET.

He believes that there is a danger that the Russian Federation or the PRC will create its own military base in Venezuela, but the United States will not allow this.

Here you can bargain, they are removed from our borders (Ukraine, Georgia), and we will not create bases in Venezuela ...

[Dikson]

Khrushchev had already made a bargain like that once .. our leaders never knew how to bargain .. That is to give the Papuans all kinds of weapons and build infrastructure for free - we can do that .. but we do not know how to bargain. Correctly wrote here .. -Let's go to Venezuela - Ukraine will be glad to receive American missiles .. And Georgia too. And then, when we start to put up and bargain, we will leave Venezuela, but the Americans from Ukraine and Georgia will not ..)) Many times we have already stepped on such a rake. Looking for times to step on. Just as we got it in our pants in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and we are "leveling the line of defense" so far ...

And with enemies they speak a little bit in a different language. It was they who poked bases and military laboratories around our country, and not us around them .. And we constantly stand in a losing position in advance. And they force us to make concessions and fulfill their demands .. What is Venezuela ... - in a couple of years, the States will build their own icebreaker fleet with the help of the Finns, and we will also let their caravans through the NSR pass, how nice .. - international waters, you know whether ..

[whiteidol]

Did the USSR put it in your pants? Doubtful. Khrushchev obtained guarantees from the United States not to attack Cuba in order to change the regime. They are observed to this day. The missiles from Turkey (albeit the outdated Jupiter) have been removed. If Khrushchev and Kennedy had not found a compromise, well, Cuba would have been attacked with a subsequent landing. The USSR would have responded to the deaths of Soviet soldiers and officers in Germany and, possibly, struck a blow with special items (torpedoes with nuclear warheads) from existing submarines at the US fleet. How would it all end? .. and so it is clear. You can argue here for a long time. Comrades, correct if something is wrong ...

Two questions:

Former Security Advisor to US President Donald Trump John Bolton

1. Who is this?

Washington will not allow the creation of a Russian military base in Venezuela

2. How?
But seriously, after an attempt at a military invasion, albeit a mediated one, there is no point in barking, of course, if you are not ready to start a war.

[orionvitt]

his power rests on a small group of high-ranking officials who subsist on proceeds from drug trafficking and racketeering

Excuse me, drug trafficking and racketeering, this has always been the domain of the United States. What a fashion, hang your own sins on others. However, what I mean, this is the USA. Well, let them fight. The only question is, where is this Guaido? And Maduro remained as he was.

Isn't Japan the backyard of the Russian Federation? so the striped bases in Japan have niche, we live so I don't understand their claims about Venezuela

[tralflot1832]

Regrettably, Russia now does not have the opportunity to create a base in Venezuela on a permanent basis. Logistics does not allow. The entire Russian fleet under flags of convenience. One stroke of the State Department pen and the steamer becomes not the entrance. we'll see.

[Old26]

Quote: Nastia Makarova

let them try to place something near Kharkov)))) they are not fools

If you need it, they will place it. And a naval base in the Black Sea (Odessa or elsewhere), and a missile base in one of the eastern regions of Ukraine. Will we be able to prevent the creation of such a base (s) in "our backyard"? Not sure...
The creation of a naval base in Venezuela (especially where Maduro proposes) is billions of dollars (trillions of rubles), this is the creation of a structure that, when "mixed" simply will not survive, plus a huge amount of equipment will be needed, which still will not give 100% of the effect

Quote: Nastia Makarova

and we were not going to place there until they make stupidity like a rocket near Kharkov

They are not going to place anything near Kharkiv (yet), but rumors about Maduro's proposal for a Russian naval base have been circulating for several years.

Quote: ROSS 42

We must! It is imperative to consider the location of naval bases (airfields) in Venezuela and Cuba as soon as possible.

In dreams? Get down to the sinful ground and take off your rose-colored glasses. What are you going to place at the naval base in Cuba? "Buyany-M" class "river-sea"? Even during the Cuban missile crisis, we were not able to conduct even the planned squadron there in advance. Now we will have to invest trillions to build the base itself (no matter where, in Cuba or Venezuela) - or do you think that the Cubans (Venezuelans) will build all this for us? To create a fleet, which is now unlikely to go beyond the Mediterranean, to have jump airfields in order to transfer something there (who will give us such airfields "for free"). We build frigates longer than the enemy builds aircraft carriers, and in the same place - "faster to consider".

As a rule, ex-presidents and ex-advisers are always talkative .. - while they are in office, it is not recommended for them to talk about much .. but how to resign, so everything that can and cannot be blurted out begins ..

Therefore, it is worth listening to the rhetoric of these citizens, applying the appropriate "noise reduction" ...)))

Alexey! Well, just do not grumble. The distance from the United States to Venezuela is about 3000 km. From Russia - at best 10 km. If necessary, the US Navy will "block" Venezuela, and if a decision is made, it will roll it out like a tortoise, what can we do if, as you say, "Russia wants to - America crumbles"? What will you send there? Frigate in the amount of "one piece"? Or what? After all, it is necessary to turn on the brain and soberly assess the strength of the parties ...

Quote: Dikson

This is about Khrushchev and our country with you .. We left Cuba then? And the American nuclear weapons remain in Turkey and the FRG .. If you consider this to be our victory, it's up to you ..

You are not entirely correct. The Americans also removed their missiles from Turkey, Britain and Italy (in those years there were no missiles in the FRG at all). Tactical nuclear weapons remained in these countries, but the same TNS were also in service with the brigade, which was in Cuba before the collapse of the Union.

You are too simplistic, too, reasoning. The USSR really achieved guarantees of non-aggression against Cuba. But if a conflict had begun, God forbid, the USSR would have found itself in a losing position in relation to the United States. We would have destroyed Europe, there is no doubt about that, but the United States would have destroyed the USSR. Our submarines (diesel, by the way) were in the US region (in the blockade zone) - 3 or 4. What would become of them if they struck a torpedo on US ships - no questions arise ...

Think on the other hand, the more we and they will have uryakalok, the greater the chance of a big war, nuclear, and war, as you know, is the continuation of natural selection among the human population. After a nuclear war, the number of uryakalok will sharply decrease, and if you survive, you will not need to argue with them.

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

There is no need to argue, it is necessary to think, and what would 5-20-500-10000 missiles with nuclear warheads do with the USSR? It would have flown a little, and the damage would not have been very large, forget the tales about the super-duper-vigorous-loaf, not everything is so bad, mind you Japan survived, although the Americans dreamed of super-large losses, but everything did not happen like that.

Not you are wrong here, he knows very well about the real possibilities of nuclear weapons. Of course, 10000 missiles in the USSR would not have killed everyone, but very many, and the rest would not have had a sweet spot either. In modern estimates, I saw figures that in the United States in cases of war, 150 million will die in our country, 120, but these are figures from the couch in real life, how things will go.

Then let the Americans completely withdraw from Europe, or we will deploy troops in Venezuela and Cuba! As N. Khrushchev said: "Let's put a hedgehog in the pants of the Americans!"

[Crash]

believes that there is a danger of the creation by the Russian Federation or the PRC of its military base in Venezuela

American logic:
1. To surround Russia and China with military bases
2. Resent that somewhere behind a puddle, in their earthly hemisphere, perhaps a Russian or Chinese base will appear.
3. Introduce sanctions against Russia and China, because purely theoretically

somewhere behind a puddle, in their earthly hemisphere, perhaps there will be a Russian or Chinese base

Japan survived, although the Americans dreamed of super-large losses, but it did not happen that way.

You wrote it very correctly: think, but you yourself do not want to think. What would you do with the USSR? Yes, they would roll out a turtle like God. The Americans dropped only 2 nuclear bombs on Japan. But what they had was more than enough for the entire Soviet Union.
In 1962, the United States had 7200 strategic nuclear warheads (213 on ICBMs, 44 on SLBMs, 1306 nuclear bombers (675 B-47, 76 B-58, 555 B-52). In total, they could lift a little more in one sortie. 3100 munitions, including 184 Hound Dog cruise missiles. Including tactical nuclear weapons, the United States had nearly 27300 nuclear weapons at the time of the Cuban missile crisis

In 1962, the USSR had 522 strategic nuclear charges (36 on ICBMs, 72 on SLBMs, 138 nuclear bombers (80 TU-95A, 58 M-4). In total, they could raise 412 nuclear weapons in one sortie. Taking into account tactical At the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the USSR had 3322 nuclear warheads. , but do not write that nothing special would have happened. Because of Khrushchev's stupidity, the world was one step away from a world thermonuclear war in which the USSR would have been defeated

Quote: senima56

Oh how! stop So American troops are in Poland, Romania - you can! And the Russians in Venezuela are not allowed ?!

Can. That's just in dreams, since in reality we cannot create any base there, and even more so in the event of a conflict ... And the Americans can place bases not only in Poland and Romania, but if they want to in Ukraine and Georgia. They will be able to do it. But we don't have that kind of money. Therefore, the bases in Cuba and Venezuela are just a balm for the wounds of the pricks. No more

And there, in Venezuela, they soaped up. Keep on shitting further

[Vdi73]

Now, in principle, it is necessary to put bases there and preferably the Navy and the Aerospace Forces, and then it will be seen, see what pi..sy will do and, if necessary, place missiles.

It is possible, of course, to build a Russian base in Venezuela and in Papua New Guinea. Or maybe somewhere near Donetsk. Guests from Russia will definitely be welcome here, and it's not far away.
