I contacted the owner of the website about some amateur mistakes made in this article.

NATO wasn't involved in these wars. And Israel is not a member of NATO.

I trust this clarifies matters. Conservative (talk) 04:19, June 28, 2025 (EDT)

Dear Conservative and RobSmith. Wishing a great weekend. Swords of Iron and Rising Lion are NOT connected to NATO nor to "imperialism" (mor is it "global"). It's the tiny besieged David Israel vs Goliath (ring of fire, Islamic jihadism) in the Middle East.Telling (talk) 17:29, June 28, 2025 (EDT)

War erupts in Rio between cartels and government; 80+ killed and city locked down

So far it's only a civil conflict, but could turn into a Latin American front if the US expands its involvement beyond Colombia & Venezuela. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 15:57, October 29, 2025 (EDT)

Russians With Attitude give their take on the Venezuelan situation

I am under no illusions regarding the nature of the regime in Venezuela. They catastrophically mismanaged their country because they're greedy incompetent idiots. Chávez and Maduro raped the Venezuelan economy by using PDVSA as an ATM and blowing up all fundamentals of a healthy national economy. GDP per capita fell by 1/4(!!!) in the few years before the crippling US sanctions against the Venezuelan oil industry.

The US then cut off Venezuela's only source of income in 2017-2019 and turned a mismanaged shithole into a total humanitarian disaster. The US sanctions caused another 60% drop in GDP on top of the crash in 2013-2016. Food, medicine, electricity, and water became luxury goods and literal millions of people fled the country due to actual despair. US sanctions did little to weaken the Maduro regime as such but they destroyed the lives of millions (as is usually the case with sanctions; it's not like the parents of Iranian children that died to embargos on medical goods now love the US). US policy caused tens of thousands of excess deaths in Venezuela.

There are three conclusions here, I suppose.

1. The government of Venezuela is pretty bad at its job and it *is* the Americans' backyard so it's difficult to get really worked up about it.

2. You gotta be American to call "we will immiserate millions of civilians, threaten airstrikes, and try to swap in a puppet narco-regime if it works" a defense of "freedom" or "democracy". No other country is retarded and hypocritical enough to portray naked sadism as moral leadership, and ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT.

3. Despite 1., as a matter of principle and geopolitical calculus, it would be more than prudent for Russia (and Iran, and China) to cause as much headache as possible for the US and provide Venezuela with "the means to defend itself", as they say. If I were in charge, there'd be several Geran-2 production lines in bunkers deep underground across Venezuela. And some juciy anti-ship missiles stowed away somewhere. [1]

This raises some interesting questions, the first being, Why has democracy failed in Europe, the United States, Ukraine, Venezuela and elsewhere? The answer should be obvious to anyone paying attention the past 35 years. Right after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the United States "democratically" elected its own morally bankrupt and corrupt leadership & government in 1992. The rest of planet, with few exceptions, followed suit.
