„Trump nimmt Venezuela, und wir die Ukraine“: So blickt Russland auf den Angriff auf Venezuela

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Moskau verurteilt die US-Operation in Venezuela, doch Militäranalysten und Blogger loben ihre Effizienz und ziehen unbequeme Vergleiche zur Ukraine.

Nach der nächtlichen Militäroperation gegen Venezuelas Staatschef Nicolás Maduro reagiert das offizielle Moskau bekannt kühl. Das russische Außenministerium verurteilte den amerikanischen Einsatz als „Akt bewaffneter Aggression“ und sprach von „tiefer Besorgnis“. Wichtig sei nun, so die diplomatische Formel im Außenministerium, eine weitere Eskalation zu verhindern und einen Ausweg „durch Dialog“ zu finden.

Lateinamerika müsse eine „Zone des Friedens“ bleiben, Venezuela das Recht haben, sein Schicksal selbst zu bestimmen. „Wir bekräftigen unsere Solidarität mit dem venezolanischen Volk und unsere Unterstützung für den Kurs seiner bolivarischen Führung, der darauf abzielt, die nationalen Interessen und die Souveränität des Landes zu schützen“, zitiert die staatliche Nachrichtenagentur Tass das russische Außenamt. Moskau unterstütze die Erklärung der venezolanischen Behörden und der Staats- und Regierungschefs der lateinamerikanischen Länder, die eine sofortige Sitzung des UN-Sicherheitsrates fordern. Russland, heißt es weiter in Moskau, sei bereit, Vermittlungsbemühungen zwischen Caracas und Washington zu unterstützen. » | Nicolas Butylin | Samstag, 3. Januar 2026

Was für ein Zeitalter! Es ist ein Zeitalter des Überflusses in vielerlei Hinsicht. Gier ohne Ende, ganz sicher. Und auch ein Zeitalter der Gesetzlosigkeit. Heutzutage greift man sich einfach, was man will! Wenn man es greifen kann, gehört es einem! Wir kehren zu einer Welt zurück, die dem Wilden Westen unweigerlich ähnelt! Putin wollte die Ukraine, also schnappte er sich alles, was er kriegen konnte, und versucht immer noch mehr zu schnappen. Jetzt schnappt sich Trump Venezuela. Warum? Ganz einfach, weil er es will, wegen seines Ölreichtums. Als Nächstes werden Grönland, Kuba, Kanada und Kolumbien in sein Visier geraten. Das Gesetz des Dschungels hat die Oberhand schon gewonnen! — © Mark Alexander

Trump Takes Orders from Putin over War in Ukraine, as Russia Pushes Propaganda Plan upon President

Dec 30, 2025 | Donald Trump claims he can end the war in Ukraine—but the optics and timing of recent events tell a far more troubling story. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Florida for critical peace talks, Trump publicly highlighted a phone call with Vladimir Putin, positioning himself as the central power broker while Russia escalated threats and spread disinformation. In this video, we break down how Russia’s sudden claim of a foiled drone attack on Putin’s residence fits a familiar pattern of information warfare, why Zelenskyy has warned of imminent strikes on Kyiv’s government buildings, and how Trump’s personalized, optics-driven diplomacy risks pressuring Ukraine rather than confronting Russian aggression.
