1. not Russia participating in another initial war.

2. Serious question, who is more incompetent; Russia or Venezuela?

   I can not think of a less threatening pair of stooges.

3. They’re just keeping them out of range of the non-existent Ukrainian Navy because they don’t want to lose them.

4. Putin is aligning with as many dictators as possible to maintain their grip on disadvantaged people. This is their fight against democracy and one they’ve quickly realized they need to fight together.

   Venezuela also has one of the largest oil reserves on the planet.

5. Venezuela has been demonstrating intent to annex part of Guyana, in March they formally declared Essequibo (Guyana) a new state of Venezuela. There may be Russian support for the upcoming offense in this meeting, but I am postulating on this.

6. safer than in the Black Sea.

7. They figure it’s probably far enough away from Ukraine that their ships are safe there.

8. I think Russia is just looking for any opportunity to move their warships where they’re safer from Ukrainian attack.

9. Is this not election interference? Republicans are used to that I guess…

10. No better recruitment narrative for the Russian navy – you too can sail with comrades to the Caribbean!

11. Safest spot for them I suppose.

12. I’m guessing they’re trading crates of vodka for rum 1 to 1, perhaps at the horror of some rum connoisseurs.

13. Another sham election

14. Venezuela is a safe haven for war criminals.
