He will be arrested as soon as he lands. He probably knows this and is likely willing to fall on the sword for his movement, which may or may not spark civil war. It’s going to pop off pretty soon.

Moscow will prevent?
What about Russia collusion?
What about Chinese debt?
The United States of America owes you.
But it does not owe you THAT much.

Venezuela is ours , Ukraine is yours.
SAVVY?
P.S. Dear China, we will not allow you to
turn the Redwood Forest into chopsticks.
p.s . Clean up that Pacific Garbage Patch
you created, and stop blaming global warming on
The United States of America.
Have Honor.

Sure they will, maybe their dilapidated navy will sail over and say mean things in Russian.

Perhaps maduro will just put him in his cabinet?

That would be epic.

Maybe livestream at some point

Here is the thing as it stands:

The country of Venezuela is in the midst of turmoil started by Chavez, who took control over everything and is now being run by Maduro. There is a contested facts as to who is in charge, and unfortunately, the world needs to isolate and stay out of it.

Russia did lend Venezuela money and seeks repayment, like any lender would. It also desires a second military base in the western part of the world, beyond Cuba. Before all of this started, Moscow was in discussion with the country about such, eventually settling on getting to land planes on the military bases, to refuel and allow for the pilots and crews to relax and then take off.

What Russia ultimately wants is another military base, where it can have ships, military personnel and equipment present.

While its surface Navy is lacking, and can not match the US surface Navy, however, its subforce is a viable threat, combined with its air craft, it makes it a double threat.

In short, Russia is not kidding, it is not going to let this go, seeking to have closer military bases in an attempt to constrain the US. And it does such, like China by offering aid to any country and then slowly move in with negotiations as to what it wants, in the end slowly getting military bases and assets in place.

As appealing as many would want to go marching in, the winning move here is not to get involve, the last thing that the US needs is another mess that it does not clean up, and what has happened in the past in Central America with the US foreign policy was not really any good for either that country or the US either.

There will be an attempt at his arrest
then the sht show begins.

I don't see the Russians getting involved beyond supplying mercs, weapons and intel. The same for China. They have an interest but not sufficient of one to extend themselves on a losing proposition in the US back yard.

Hopefully we (the west) won't get involved either. Stumbling into somebody else's civil war isn't a great idea. Especially when one side already has you painted as the villains.
