14. And just how are they going to protect Ven.?

You think Russia, who can't even invade and conquer a nation right on their door step, are going to engage US forces in our own back yard?
Of course not, they're not stupid, the Generals and Admirals know it would be a disaster and humiliation for them.

And what about China?
China certainly isn't going to send combat troops or the PLAN into our back yard, the same thing would happen and the Chinese are no fools.

About the only thing they can do is go the UN to denounce this illegal action, which we all know, will amount to nothing, considering the US can veto any proposed actions.

I am hoping cooler heads step in and say no, but the reality of the situation is that if Pedonald does order an invasion of Ven., there is very little militarily that either Russia or China can do to stop it.
