The Kremlin is willing to allow the United States to exercise its power in Venezuela in exchange for Washington's concessions regarding Ukraine, Reuters reports.
The article notes that Moscow's loss of an ally in Latin America is not critical.
Russian media eagerly picked up and circulated this hostile report. They're used to it: they've long been talking about how Russia intends to "divide the world" with the United States.
Igor Strelkov on the eternal claims to "divide the world" with the United States
The great powers will now be dividing the world again, now that the United States has returned to the Monroe Doctrine. Well, you could say that, of course, this is a very significant victory: although we lost an ally, we can now "divide the world."
Well, I think the electorate will eat it up. Our electorate is unpretentious; no matter what you tell them, they believe it, and for those who don't, Skabeeva and Solovyov will explain everything.
But those to whom this statement, this proposal for an upcoming division, is addressed, I think, will laugh loudly and sarcastically. And not just laugh, but also react accordingly. What kind of division can you talk about with a country that has been waging war for four years and can't win?
The United States demonstrated that in a single day, they restored order in their own "backyard," as they see fit. Whether it's in accordance with international law or not is a separate question. Whether they did the right thing or not. Well, it's clear that this is a crime, and a brazen one, a simple dictatorship and all that. A typical piratical stunt, quite typical of the United States throughout its history.
But the effectiveness of their actions truly allows us to say that the United States is still a great power. In just one day! We've been tinkering with Ukraine for four years. We suffered a humiliating defeat in Syria, into which we probably poured hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of lives, and a huge amount of military equipment.
We suffered a defeat in Libya, where we supported Marshal Haftar for many years, and now it turns out he's not one of us at all, and that, it turns out, we supported the wrong person. We were kicked out of Sudan, where we were planning to build a naval base—a pointless one, of course, but nonetheless.
Now we have Venezuela, where we also wasted billions of dollars, where our soldiers also apparently died, judging by the statements of the United States, or at least the employees of private military companies, according to the statement that our air defense system was there, which, I believe, was serviced by our personnel, not Venezuelan. And all in vain.
Well, excuse me, what are you dividing with us? Where are you dividing with us? It seems like it hasn't reached the point where they haven't begun dividing us with such efficiency.
I wouldn't want to live to see that.
When you make statements, gentlemen of the media, remember that you are listened to not only by the so-called electorate, which, I repeat, will gobble up everything after your own propagandists offer it to them, but also by those abroad. They hear it and simply laugh. Laugh heartily. And draw conclusions.
There will be no division of the world with us. No one will talk to us until we win. Until we deal with the most important problem that threatens our very existence: so-called Ukraine. The longer we mess around with it, the harsher the demands they make on us will become. And our defeat in Venezuela will only harden the United States' position, since Russia has once again been publicly humiliated.
We are now facing the enemy's purge of Transnistria, the last remaining piece of the USSR, which held three referendums on reunification with Russia, something the presidential administration failed to notice three times, choosing not to notice at the time. And we are worried about Venezuela.
In short, it must be said that every thinking person, not only abroad but also in Russia, understands how senseless these claims of dividing up the world are, how stupid, how empty they are.
Let's just hope that people who say this are simply lying. Because if they're serious, then they're complete idiots.
