On September 19th, a Venezuelan fishing boat was sunk by the US littoral combat ship "Liberty". Venezuela accused the US of "undeclared war", and Venezuelan Minister Lopez even bluntly said that "improve the level of combat readiness and prepare to deal with the threat of the United States", but the United States argued that this was a routine task of "combating drug smuggling" and claimed that "there was evidence of drugs on board".
On the same day, a Russian nuclear submarine test-fired two supersonic missiles deep in the Pacific Ocean, and before the launch, Russia had signed a strategic partnership treaty with Venezuela.
What is the relationship between the two? is it true that the United States is going to start a war? is it possible that Russia will interfere?
Why did the US military fire?
The cause of the U.S. military sinking a Venezuelan fishing vessel is simple, they believe the vessel was involved in drug smuggling and suspected of sending cocaine and other drugs to the United States.
But the problem is that this "conviction" is opaque and there is no definite evidence. According to international law, fighting crimes on the high seas requires sufficient reasonable suspicion. However, the sunken fishing boat is not only unarmed, but no drugs are found. The photos and videos look miserable, but they can't endorse the law enforcement behavior of the United States.
There are many domestic problems in the United States, weak economy, immigration anxiety, while the drug issue has long plagued society, just before the incident, Trump’s support rate is falling, he needs a new “safe card” to attract votes, drugs, borders, security, these are topics that can strongly stimulate voter emotions.
So, the United States began to frequently send military ships into the Caribbean waters, and Trump failed to render the “drug threat” theory, claiming that Venezuela is the crime hotspot, the source of drugs that threaten the American family.
Conservative public opinion supported his claim, while Venezuela cried out that it was contempt, claiming that the U.S. had no evidence at all, the war between the two sides became more intense, and the U.S. military action became more intense.
The 19th attack killed three men, and the order to open fire was issued by Trump before, on September 15, he also ordered U.S. forces to attack a Venezuelan ship.
Moreover, he claimed that he had sunk a number of "drug ships" in the relevant waters and killed many people, which made the relationship between the two sides increasingly tense. The Venezuelan Defense Minister even indicated that he would continue to improve the level of combat readiness and prepare to deal with the threat of the US military. On September 1st, he said that if the US military entered the mainland, they would fight directly.
Russian missiles
Just at the time of the US-Commission relationship sword, Russia quickly acted, without a sign, Russia in the Okhotsk Sea came second "real-war exercise", nuclear submarines in one breath launched two missiles, precision in command hundreds of kilometers away analogue aircraft carrier group.
The explanation given by the Kremlin is: This is a routine military exercise to test the Russian military's global strike capability, but this military exercise is obviously not as simple as "routine".
Russia has not been directly involved in the conflict in Venezuela, but through this test it has sent a clear signal not to touch my friends, after all they have just signed a strategic partnership treaty with Venezuela.
This kind of "military exercise diplomacy" is not unusual. Missile test launches and nuclear submarine dispatches are no longer just military actions, but also a special language that tells opponents: I have the ability to respond to distant harassment.
The location of the test launch, missile selection, and target simulation are all well-thought-out political statements. Russia not only shows its support for Venezuela, but also warns the United States and NATO to expand across regions, so don't push their luck.
Venezuela's plight
Of course, Venezuela did not sit down, from the economy to the military to the diplomacy, he went out with all his strength, first signing a series of cooperation agreements with Russia, from arms aid to energy development, the content of the agreement is fully covered.
Now, Russia has provided Venezuela with radar equipment and electronic warfare systems, and has also sent military advisors to help boost defence capabilities, while working with Russia to develop oil, Maduro is also trying to find a front line for the collapsing economy.
Venezuela has always been an important hub for China's investment in Latin America, relying on the "Belt and Road" initiative, the two sides have a lot of cooperation in the fields of energy, infrastructure and other areas, especially in the current difficulties, the President of the Commission hopes to work together with the Chinese side to expand bilateral cooperation into more fields, turning to rely on China.
Less than a week after the shipwreck, the Venezuelan government announced that it hopes to further strengthen its "all-weather strategic partnership" with China.
Venezuela, which is in a row, is constantly looking for new support between the East and the West, trying to build a way out for itself through double reliance.
