Russia may gain more than lose from a US intervention in Venezuela

AI Summary

long article 5 min

In December 2025, an article analyzes the potential global implications of escalating US threats against Venezuela under President Trump. The author, Leonid Ragozin, suggests Venezuela is becoming a bargaining chip between global superpowers, similar to Ukraine. Despite not being a major power, Venezuela's oil reserves and alliances with China, Iran, and Russia make it strategically important. The article posits that Russia faces both risks and potential gains from the US escalation, particularly given the unexpected thaw in US-Russia relations during Trump's second term. The analysis suggests a global bargain between the US and Russia is more likely than a global war, with Venezuela as a key element.
