Maduro Urgently Seeks Military Aid From Russia & China With US Bulls-Eye On Venezuela

President Trump has not finalized a decision on military action against Venezuela. In response, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is actively seeking military aid from Russia, China, and Iran. Internal U.S. government documents reveal these urgent requests for defensive equipment. Maduro has sent letters to both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The correspondence outlines a need for enhanced military capabilities, including radars, aircraft repairs, and potentially missiles. Specifically, Venezuela seeks to expedite the production of radar detection systems with China based on prior agreements. Maduro expressed concern about U.S. aggression and framed potential U.S. military action as a threat to China due to their shared ideology. Additionally, Venezuela's Transport Minister requested passive detection equipment, GPS scramblers, and long-range drones from Iran. Meanwhile, the U.S. has a significant naval presence in the Caribbean region. Despite these requests, Russia and China face their own challenges and may be hesitant to confront the U.S. directly. Logistical challenges and existing U.S. sanctions could also hinder any swift military assistance from these nations to Venezuela.
