rainman + 263 June 6, 2019 Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that U.S. military intervention in Venezuela would be a disaster and said even Washington’s allies did not support such a course of action. Speaking at an economic forum in St Petersburg, Putin also said that Russian technical specialists remained in Venezuela in order to service Russian military hardware, something he said they were contractually obliged to do. However, he said Moscow was not setting up any special military bases in Venezuela, a close Russian ally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
