Russia Warns US: Military Action In Venezuela 'Catastrophic'

And they got involved, and USA lost the war.

Has Russia ever committed troops to Latin America?

Russia no, the USSR obviously did.

Cuba

whoops I was thinking USSR

there is a planned russian military base in vuvuzela

It would be nice IF THESE PIECES OF SHIT WOULD STOP ROBING RUSSIA AND STORING MONEY IN WESTERN BANKS,MONEY WHICH WEST USES TO BOMB MIDDLE EAST AND TERRORIZE LATIN AMERICA!!!!

The difference between Russia and China is that China has capable government that is working for China, and China is great enough to be supported by local oligarchs. Russia on the other had is robbed by government and oligarchy alike.

more than just that, they have seats in the people's congress and write the country's legislation including tax law, worker protections (or lack thereof), spending, the degree to which state institutions should be privatised, and much more

Yeah, but the implications that time is that Russia would attack us. Which didn't happen. Shame, coulda been a good time.
