Three Russian warships arrive in Venezuela ahead of election
Three Russian warships have now arrived in the South American nation of Venezuela. Experts say it is a way for Russian President Vladimir Putin to show his military might in America's backyard.
Venezuela is ruled by Nicolás Maduro, who's often described as a dictator after being in power for more than 10 years. He's also an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
With Venezuela’s election right around the corner, the move by Russia comes at a crucial time and could have ripple effects throughout the hemisphere.

That would be impossible because of the Bolsheviks running things like European imperialists. They empower the weak to decide over the strong. Way too socialistic & run by anti nationalist fascists who lord over education & all forms of media. They nominate who we vote for, then manipulate the Internet data to diswade opposition votes. All the candidates are appointed by party nomination the people seldom pick.

What do you mean when you say America's back yard? Are you conditioning people to belive that the U. S. Owen's all of Central and South America? By the way America is all of the continent from North America all the way down to Central and South America. I'm so tired of people calling U.S born citizens Americans like if the own that name. Please get it right so we can move on. Nobody is better than anyone else. We are all equal. Except that some people tend to think that way, but they will soon find out they aren't.

Can we call the one who cares and love his own country dictator , for the fact that he don't pay attention to those who dictate him not to love or care of his own country ???? 😂😂😂 Or maybe we need to call him a dictator because he don't pay attention to dose who dictate him what to do or not do with his own country ??? 🤣🤣🤣
