Now China has sent troops to Venezuela as well:
A group of Chinese soldiers arrived in Venezuela on Sunday as part of a
cooperation program between Beijing and Caracas. According to reports, more
than 120 soldiers from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army arrived at
Venezuela’s Margarita Island to deliver humanitarian aid and military supplies
to the government forces.
The arrival of the People’s Liberation Army in Venezuela comes just days after the Russian armed forces deployed to the country to install a military helicopter training facility.
However, this move by the Russian military has not come without heavy criticism from the Trump administration and several U.S. congressmen.
“Maduro calls for hands off #Venezuela while he invites security forces from Cuba and Russia, so he and his cronies can keep plundering Venezuela. It is time for Venezuelan institutions to stand for their sovereignty. Russia and Cuba, #HandsOffVenezuela,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted on March 28th.
These moves by the Russian and Chinese armed forces appear to be a powerplay against the U.S. administration, who is actively pushing to remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power.

As I
observed last year, Syria was a major turning point and will likely mark the
end of the global US empire. The fall of Libya and the near-expansion of NATO
to Ukraine and Georgia forced the Russians and the Chinese to realize that the
time for resistance had finally arrived, and their strategists recognized that
the US military is too weak and overextended to be capable of enforcing the
Monroe Doctrine.
Since the US is almost certain to back down on Venezuela, where its chosen puppet has absolutely no popular support, it is safe to expect US retreats on other fronts as China and Russia start putting on the pressure elsewhere in South and Central America. Remember, China already controls the Panama Canal and has considerable influence on the west coast of Canada.
I suspect this is why Israel is being so aggressive with regards to the Golan Heights and Gaza, as they must recognize that their ability to act underneath the aegis of US protection is rapidly running out of time.
