Kremlin Slams 2026 US Military Operation in Venezuela as Global Tension Rises
On Jan 5, 2026, the Kremlin condemned the US military operation in Venezuela. We analyze the geopolitical irony and the potential for increased Russia-US tensions.
The U.S. has essentially pulled off the very 'special military operation' that Russia planned for—and failed to accomplish—in Kyiv four years ago. On January 5, 2026, the Kremlin issued a sharp condemnation, marking a new low in bilateral relations.
