Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Tuesday and made a case for backing opposition to disputed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and suggested that Russia had installed nuclear missiles in the South American nation.

“Imagine if this regime that now is receiving a lot of international pressure survives, is it or is it not potentially a green light, an open door for the Russians and for the Chinese and for others to increase their activity against our national security interest right here in our hemisphere, “Diaz-Balart told Carlson.

Tuesday, tensions flared in Caracas between newly elected President Juan Guaido supporters who clashed with pro-Maduro forces.

Russia, China, and Iran reportedly have a presence in South America including Cuba who are alleged to have 20,000 troops and agents in the region according to the U.S. government.

I would be skeptical of this but it is possible and should be explored.

Yeah,because it is such a stable government,and they allow the Russians to control and operate the nuke sites,huh?

Does this guy REALLY think the Russians are THAT casual about the control over their nukes?

Who here thinks Russians are stupid,as a general rule?

This is a very serious charge.
I would hope that the congressman has passed his knowledge on to the appropriate officers at the CIA and military.
