lolwut
China (the second largest economy on Earth and still growing) calls the shots these days, Russia is just a heavily armed petrostate. Stop jumping at Russian shadows, they’re hasbeens.
Dude, when the current Venezuelan “government” lost their last election, who’s military went to Venezuela to anchor their illegitimate ass in place? Yep, the Russians.
People on here commenting about global power in a news community, but apparently forgot the news from just a few short years ago.

When I want to know truthful information about America’s enemies I always trust military.com
That was just the first article that came up when I searched. Russian military involvement after the 2019 Venezuelan election is well known and was covered by international news agencies at the time. I’m sorry they don’t give you any access to those news sources behind the Great Firewall. Not that your boss would let you read anything like that during your shift at the Chinese troll farm, anyways.
“trust me dawg”
Not that you can read any of these from behind the Great Firewall. Enjoy your ignorance.
Wikipedia Detailing the Events
Australian News Source Covering Russian Military Involvement
Two nuclear weapon-capable Russian planes landed in Venezuela in December 2018 in what Reuters called a “show of support for Maduro’s socialist government.”[389]
According to the Kremlin, there are about 100 Russian military personnel in Venezuela “to repair equipment and provide technical co-operation”.[390] On 23 March 2019, two Russian planes landed in Venezuela carrying 99 troops[391] and 35 tonnes of matériel.[389] Alexey Seredin from the Russian Embassy in Caracas said the two planes were “part of an effort to maintain Maduro’s defense apparatus, which includes Sukhoi fighter jets and anti-aircraft systems purchased from Russia.”[391]
National Assembly deputy Williams Dávila said the National Assembly would investigate the “penetration of foreign forces in Venezuela.”[392]
So, what, they stationed a few troops and some equipment there?
I’d hardly say that’s proof that Russia isn’t a hasbeen country. That’s just a desperate attempt to seem important.
Although lol if you think Guaidó is the legitimate president and not just a US backed puppet.
You know it is trivially easy to use VPN in China right? The great firewall is a measure to encourage the development of a domestic tech industry.
Always hasbeen. Word to the last Tzar.
Kind of racist to assume the whitest country is in control of BRICS.
I said nothing about BRICS, but great job projecting racism where it doesn’t exist.

The title says
Venezuela has formally proposed to join the BRICS group, says Maduro
And for the record, if Venezuela was a Russian puppet it wouldn’t be supplying europe with oil rn.
