    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

      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.

            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.

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

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

          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.
