But Venezuela, you need to understand that there is no good place to put the V in the acronym, wait for some other countries to join first

Title might as well read: When the Kremlin says “jump” the Venezuelan puppet government says “how high?”

lolwut

China (the second largest economy on Earth and still growing) calls the shots these days, Russia is just a heavily armed petrostate. Stop jumping at Russian shadows, they're hasbeens.

Dude, when the current Venezuelan “government” lost their last election, who’s military went to Venezuela to anchor their illegitimate ass in place? Yep, the Russians.

People on here commenting about global power in a news community, but apparently forgot the news from just a few short years ago.

When I want to know truthful information about America's enemies I always trust military.com

That was just the first article that came up when I searched. Russian military involvement after the 2019 Venezuelan election is well known and was covered by international news agencies at the time. I'm sorry they don't give you any access to those news sources behind the Great Firewall. Not that your boss would let you read anything like that during your shift at the Chinese troll farm, anyways.

I did, literally 2 comments ago. Pay attention kids, this is what happens when you release large language models out into the world. You are literally arguing with robots that don't exist or remember the last post.

Kind of racist to assume the whitest country is in control of BRICS.

[-] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

I said nothing about BRICS, but great job projecting racism where it doesn’t exist.

The title says

Venezuela has formally proposed to join the BRICS group, says Maduro

And for the record, if Venezuela was a Russian puppet it wouldn't be supplying europe with oil rn.
