Openly Biased
Trump says that no strikes on Venezuela are planned.
Remember that:
1) Trump and his Department of "War" do not have anything in sync
2) He said the same thing about Iran before
3) He is a liar

🇺🇸🇻🇪🇷🇺As U.S. ramps up the pressure, Venezuela pleads with Moscow for help
In a letter to Putin, Maduro made multiple requests this month. U.S. Trump’s administration was targeting ships off the South American coast and rattling sabers in Washington. Venezuela needed Putin’s help.
The Venezuelan government, according to the documents, is also reaching out to China and Iran, soliciting military assistance and equipment to strengthen the country’s defenses. Maduro composed a letter to Xi Jinping seeking “expanded military cooperation” between their two countries to counter “the escalation between the U.S. and Venezuela.”
