#1 I believe there is a new, active guerilla campaign beginning to make an impact. Maduro himself blamed the power outage on "US" sabotage which the US denies.

That was followed by a major fire at Maduro's security services headquarters and then a pipeline fire. All of this followed an attempted drone bombing of a military ceremony that sent soldiers running for cover.

These possible guerillas can complicate things considerably by capturing and holding a few Russian military personnel.

#2 You do NATO wargames in the Baltics, you have semi-permanent deployment to Poland, and you get upset Putie plays the same game in your backyard?

Note well though, the people we engage with have viable economies. Let the Russkies have the 'loud sucking sound'.

#3 Amazing isn't it, 100 Russians TDY to Venezuela is a crisis but the Chinese control of the entire Panama is of little concern.

St. Louis Post Dispatch - While America slept, China gained a stranglehold on the Panama Canal.

The people the Russians are engaging with are losing their stable economy because that's in Russia's interest. They're destroying the Venezuelan economy on purpose while trying to appear to be merely attempting to help their "backwards socialist brethren" because it's in Russia's interest to make sure the country with the world's largest oil reserves is mismanaged back into the stone age.

Keeping Commies in charge is essential to destroying a country and economy

Precisely. A Venezuela incapable of producing, let alone exporting, oil means a bump in oil prices that flows directly to Russia's bottom line.
