Venezuela says more Russian troops may arrive to face the U.S. as Syria offers support
By Tom O'Connor On 4/4/19

Venezuela has said that more Russian military personnel may arrive to support the Latin American country, where the U.S. has sought to oust the socialist-led government.

Commenting on the presence of up to 100 Russian military personnel who arrived in Caracas last month amid threats of U.S. intervention, Venezuelan Deputy Foreign Minister Ivan Gil told Russia's Interfax news agency Thursday that "the group of military specialists is within our agreements and contracts on military-technical cooperation." He said they would remain there "as long as necessary."

Gil then revealed that more troops could be on the way, but "all within the framework of those agreements," which reportedly included the maintanance of S-300 surface-to-air systems sold by Moscow to Caracas under the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.

Things are not going well... and we are at least, accused, probably credibly accused of being against and operating against Venezuela since the 2000s.

Check how big these flames are from a fire in Los Guayos, Venezuela. Okay, a warehouse full of pallets. Well, I am sure some have seen fires this big, even if in pictures. It might be a bit of an illusion but it looks huge to me.

Probably not much water pressure in the hoses, for those who showed up to try to fight it.
