Venezuela, Russia ready to militarily support the South American country
against Colombia

As the crisis in Venezuela lurches from bad to worse, the chaos unleashed by
the country’s slow collapse is threatening to undermine the stability of the
entire region and neighboring Colombia in particular.Colombia is bearing the
brunt of the refugee crisis caused by Venezuela’s failing state, and the
burden is stretching the country’s limited resources to the point where it may
fall into crisis itself.

Nicolas Maduro has once again accused the Colombian president Juan Manuel
Santos of preparing a series of “incidents” aimed at creating “an armed
conflict” between the two neighboring countries. Santos did not recognize
Maduro’s re-election on May 20, questioning the fairness of the recent
Venezuelan presidential vote. Colombia has received hundreds of thousands of
Venezuelans, out of the estimated 4.1 million, who have left their country,
according to the Organization of American States. “We can not even lower our
guard for a second, a series of incidents of military character are being
prepared by the Colombian government of Juan Manuel Santos, aimed at
generating an armed conflict between us”

Moscow .Russia would be ready to help the Venezuelan Armed Forces against
possible attacks on their borders.

Yesterday, the Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman stated that his country
is ready to support Venezuela from the NATO threat through neighboring
Colombia.

The new Cold War of the Third Millennium moves quickly in South America.

The response of the Minister of Defense of Caracas, Vladimir Padrino Lopez, is
ready:
“We are ready to face any aggression in the field of armed and unarmed
struggle to safeguard the interests that are consecrated in the Constitution
and we have sufficient laws and a good legal basis to build a our own model.

Venezuela has more than a million civilians in uniform, volunteers of the
Bolivarian National Militia that can also be used against any Army in any
scenario of any aggression.

Recall that last June, Colombia has established a partnership with NATO, the
first in Latin America.
NATO’s cooperation with the South American state has developed steadily since
2013. In those days the Secretary-General of the Atlantic Alliance Jens
Stoltenberg had accepted the outgoing Colombian President, Juan Manuel Santos,
in Brussels, praising him for his efforts to bring stability to his country.

“Our cooperation – the secretary general had claimed – has provided real
benefits both to Colombia
and to NATO”.

In particular, the South American country had worked side by side with the
NATO forces off the Horn of Africa

in 2015, in the fight against maritime piracy Jens Stoltenberg also welcomed
the fact that the integrity program of NATO construction increased
transparency and professionalism in Colombia’s defense institutions and that
Colombian personnel
benefited from courses at the Alliance School in Germany and Defense College
in Italy (NATO Defense College).

“NATO – concluded the general secretary – is committed to working with
partners like Colombia who share our values and interests”. And turned to
Santos he had said. “Our support comes at the request of the Colombian
Government and the Alliance will always respect your autonomy and your
independence”. And now that Colombia has a centre-right administration in
sight of the ballots, scheduled in Brazil, on Jair Bolsonaro (PSL-right) and
Fernando Haddad (PT-left), Venezuela is back to centre of the geopolitical
attention of the area.

At the border, the situation has degenerated and the cities of Cucuta and
Arauca were stormed by the migrants are now a territory of war where the
ground troops are confronting already for a few days.

We know that the Venezuelan air force is ready to attack, they will certainly
be waiting for the arrival of their Russian allies.

Daily Updates:

Venezuela Agreed To Let Russia Set Up A Bomber Outpost On Caribbean Island
Orchila.

Russian media outlets are reporting that the Kremlin is planning to establish
a forward outpost on the Venezuelan island of La Orchila in the Caribbean Sea
and base nuclear-capable Tu-160 Blackjack bombers, two of which just wrapped
up a recent deploymentto the country, at the site. If true, this could help
bolster the embattled regime of Venezuela’s dictatorial president Nicolas
Maduroand would significantly change the strategic reality in the Western
Hemisphere for the United States.

That the Tu-160s have the ability to carry nuclear weapons, including nuclear-
armed cruise missiles that give a stand-off capability, would also give the
forward location an added deterrent quality, presenting an unprecedented
standing strategic threat to the mainland United States within the Western
Hemisphere. The outpost could also potentially accommodate other types of
combat aircraft, as well as anti-shipand surface-to-air missilesand associated
radars and other sensors.

So far, there are no details about what the Russian outpost might consist of,
what forces might go there and when, and what timeframe the Kremlin and
Venezuela might have agreed to for starting the project at all. La Orchila,
which sits less than 500 miles from Puerto Rico and less than 1,500 miles from
Florida, has significant space for new and expanded military facilities,
though, as seen below.

Having a forward base capable of accommodating strategic aircraft would enable
Russia to conduct flights near the United States on a regular basis, something
it is otherwise largely incapable of doing at present. As it stands now,
Russian aircraft are generally only able to fly sorties in the vicinity of
Alaskawithout the commitment of substantial support assets.

The recent deployment of Blackjacks to Venezuela came after a surge in
American aerial activityalong Russia’s western flank after the Kremlin
launched an unprovoked attack onUkrainian naval vesselsin the Kerch Strait,
which separates the Black Sea from the Sea of Azov. The United States and its
allies condemned Russia’s actionsand offered to increase military and other
supportfor Ukraine, to the ire of the Kremlin.
