Venezuela: The Proxy War that could hit closer to home.
Venezuela has been in the spotlight recently. Given the past several years of it’s economic collapse, there is division among the government and it’s people. While the country is rich in petroleum, it has been hit with sanctions. The military now tends to its crops, which is to say that the government controls the food.
There are approximately 13 main military bases in Venezuela, I’m not sure how many satellites, lilly pads, and outposts are scattered throughout the country. What I do know is that they have a formidable fighting force if they truly do stay loyal to Maduro.
China, Russia and Iran have pledged their backing to Maduro. Let’s take a look at some of their interests in Venezuela:
-Venezuela owes over 120 Billion dollars to Russia and China.
-Venezuela has some of the largest oil reserves in the world;
China was poised to become the biggest energy consumer in the world.
-China and Russia have been dumping the dollar and US debt; America can see to it that they don’t get paid from Venezuela.
-Proxy War in Venezuela would test Russian and Chinese logistics. This would cause an economic strain and division of their forces while we test them in other regions. I.E. South China sea, Ukraine, Middle East, etc..
.
-Russia seeks to put a military base on an island off Venezuela. This base would house Russian stealth bombers with nuclear capabilities.
-China has a satellite tracking facility at the Capitan Manuel Rio Air Base in Guarico.
-Russia has a cyber presence at Naval Base Antonio Diaz “Bandi” in La Orchilla, an island north of Caracas.
-Should also be noted that Russia seeks to put military bases in Venezuela,Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey, Madagascar area, Algeria, Cuba, and Honduras.
Given the distance from Iran, Russia and China you can easily see that geography is not an advantage to these three countries. Seeing as this Proxy War is in our own backyard, expect infiltrations from a porous unguarded border. I do believe Putin to be an excellent chess player. With the Chinese having written “The Art of War,” neither country should be taken lightly.
Just look at some of the ways that they can affect us:
-Spies and Special Forces can be used to infiltrate our porous border. Man portable nukes can be smuggled in the country.
-Putin and Xi could use upcoming elections to either influence the winner or drive a deeper wedge between the both parties.
-Can create false flags to cause division.
-Can arm and supply hate groups such as BLM and Antifa.
-Can conduct biological warfare operations which are difficult to identify unless caught in the act.
-Cyber warfare is continuous.
This is just my personal perspective. I cannot predict the future, but we know history repeats. These are just some of the things to look for
