On Oct. 23, 2025, the air on the Venezuelan coast was as tight as it were, with untold tension —— Not because a tropical storm was about to land, but two U.S. Air Force B-1B strategic bombers flew over again.。
From the flight tracking data can be seen that the two aircraft that took off from the Dais Air Force Base in Texas (the US military's nickname for the B-1B is "gun cavalry", itself with a deterrent), along the way to Southza, Finally, we flew to a place only 80 kilometers from Venezuela, so close to the Roscoros Islands that we could almost see the facilities on the island.
This is the second time in a week that U.S. strategic bombers have been sent to Venezuela. Even more exciting last week, three B-52H bombers carrying F-35 invisible fighter jets made a second “flight demonstration around the island” in the same area.The Pentagon also deliberately sent photos out of "show muscles", afraid that others don't know.
Only bombers are not over, the United States has already opened a “military stand” in the Caribbean Sea. now in this area, eight U.S. military ships plus one nuclear submarine are returning to sail, the P-8 “Sea God” patrol and MQ-9 “Death” drone rotates in the sky every day, and there is a whole squadron of F-35 fighters can take off at any time.
What makes people even more uneasy is that Starting in September, the U.S. military took the pretext of “fighting drug trafficking” to sink several so-called “drug ships” in the outskirts of Venezuela.They also killed dozens of drug dealers.
But both the Venezuelan government and neighboring Colombia stood up and broke this conspiracy: the bombers were basically ordinary fishing boats, the dead were fishermen who hit the fishermen and farmers, and had no relationship with drug traffickers.
By October 22, Trump was more direct, suggesting that Miriam “may hit ground targets.”U.S. officials later also relaxed, acknowledging that the CIA has already been covertly engaged in activities in Venezuela. facing this battle, the Maduro government has no choice but to hurry up the defense alarm.
On the 23rd, Venezuela launched the "Independence Plan 200" coastal defense exercise in several places along the coast, transferring more than 5000 "Pin-S" portable air defense missiles imported from Russia.These air defense systems have been deployed at various key air defense points, including the "S-125" and "S-125".
When Maduro met with trade union representatives, he couldn't help shouting in English: "Yes, what we want is eternal peace, don't engage in any crazy war!" But anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is too difficult for Venezuela to withstand this wave of pressure from the US military with its own strength.
China's three sentences: not empty words are underground.
Just as Venezuela was beating drums in its hearts, the voice of China came in time, which gave Maduro a solid reassurance.
At the routine press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on October 15, a Venezuelan journalist asked specifically about the U.S. military’s increased pressure, The spokesman, Lin Sword, did not turn around and expressed his position directly in three words: “oppose the use of force or the threat of force,” “oppose external forces to interfere in internal affairs under any pretext,” and “oppose the undermining of peace and stability in the Latin American region.”。
These three phrases sound simple, but each one is at the key point – the US military is most commonly used now is the threat of force, the most preferred is to interfere with other domestic affairs, and the stability of the Latin American region is precisely what needs to beined at the moment.
In fact, at the emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on October 10, China’s permanent representative at the United Nations, Fujin, had already made the words clear. He pointed out that the U.S. military took "anti-drugs" as its head in the Caribbean Sea to unilaterally enforce the law, not only harm the lives of ordinary people, but also threaten the safety of navigation in this area, in the end is a violation of international law hegemony.
This is not a casual accusation, but a reveal of the illegality of the actions of the United States. According to international law, even if we want to fight transnational crimes, we have to cooperate through bilateral or multilateral legal frameworks. How can we send warships and fighter planes at every turn and blow up ships? The so-called "law enforcement" of the US military, to put it bluntly, is to use the topic to scare people by force.
Moreover, China's position has never been a word of mouth, but is backed up by practical actions. Over the years, China has always supported the construction of a "Heping District" in Latin America. It attaches great importance to the spirit of the "Announcement Declaring Latin America and the Caribbean as a Heping District" and resolutely opposes any country using Latin America as its "backyard" and doing whatever it wants.
Not to mention economically. China and Venezuela have always had stable cooperation, from the development of oil and gas resources to the construction of infrastructure such as roads and hospitals, helping Venezuela to lay a solid foundation for people's livelihood To know, a country wants to withstand the pressure from the outside, the people's day is stable, and the economy does not collapse, it is really able to stand firm.
Therefore, the three sentences of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not only reminded the United States, but also gave Maduro support: China will not watch other countries bully sovereign countries casually, let alone let peace and stability in Latin America be destroyed like this.
China has been speaking out at the United Nations and various diplomatic occasions. Maduro's government is not alone in the world, and the threat of force by the United States has also lost a lot of "justified" disguise.
Russia-Venezuela Treaty Implemented: Not Just Cooperation is a Barrier
At the same time that China has cleared its position, Russia has also given Venezuela a hard support with practical actions. On October 22, the Russian State Duma officially ratified the Treaty on Strategic Partnership between the Russian Commission and the Russian Federation, which was signed by Putin and Maduro in Moscow on May 7, and now has finally completed all ratification processes, and on October 7, Maduro has confirmed that the treaty has entered into force.
Volodin, chairman of the Russian State Duma, said it very honestly: This is not only an upgrade of relations between Russia and Venezuela, but also an attempt to help the multipolar world.Let a sovereign country like Venezuela have the final say without having to look at other people's faces.
This treaty is not a "friendship on paper". It is full of practical cooperation content. In the energy field, Russia will help Venezuela develop oil and gas resources-you must know that Venezuela's oil reserves are the largest in the world, but it lacks technology and funds. When Russian companies come in, they can help it turn its resource advantages into real benefits. Making money and supporting the economy.
Not to mention in the security field, many of the anti-aircraft missiles such as the "Pin-S" and "Beech" that Venezuela is currently using are purchased from Russia. In the future, the two countries will further cooperate in anti-terrorism and military training.
In addition, mining, transportation, communications, these areas closely related to the lives of the people and the development of the country, are also written into the list of cooperation, which is equivalent to Russia from the economy to security, weaving a protective net to Venezuela.
More importantly, this treaty brings not only cooperation between the two countries, but also support at the international pattern level. Voloking specifically cited the phrase “Someone wants to give Venezuela an anti-government regime,” which clearly means the United States ——which for years has been treating Latin America as a “background” and can’t tolerate governments with anti-American positions at all;
And Venezuela, as a oil power, once controlled by the United States, not only will the geographical pattern of Latin America change, the global energy market will be affected.
The Russian Commission joined hands to deepen cooperation, in the end is to offset the expansion of the United States that "wants to be the boss, spread hands everywhere", to help the multi-polar world with a few bricks. for Maduro, this means that even if the U.S. military dare to take the risk, Venezuela is not alone, behind it is Russia this strategic partner supported.
Looking at the situation in the Caribbean Sea now, although the US bombers are still hovering in the sky, Venezuela is obviously more confident. Those three sentences of China made the right and wrong clear, and the international community saw it; The landing of Russia's treaty has added solid support to Venezuela.
Maduro must know in his heart that as long as the two friends, China and Russia, stand by his side and keep the bottom line of sovereignty, no matter how fierce the threat of force by the United States is, it can't lift a real storm.
