Russia on military planes in Venezuela: Our specialists are there based on cooperation treaty

Russian specialists are in Venezuela as part of the 2001 military-technical cooperation deal with Caracas that doesn't need further approval, Moscow said after reports of the arrival of two military planes with troops and cargo.

Russia develops its relations with Venezuela "in strict accordance with the Constitution of this country and in full respect of its legislation," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

The existing deal was ratified by both Russia and Venezuela, and it "doesn't require any additional approval from the National Assembly of Venezuela," she pointed out.

Zakharova was responding to a media request for comment over the alleged Russian "meddling" into Venezuelan affairs.

Following reports that two Russian military planes carrying around 100 troops and cargo landed outside Caracas on Saturday, the Organization of American States labeled it "a harmful act to Venezuelan sovereignty," while the US State Department insisted that it was "a reckless escalation of the situation" in the country.

US National Security Adviser and one of the strongest backers of regime change in Venezuela, John Bolton, was also outraged, writing on Twitter that: "the US will not tolerate hostile foreign military powers meddling with the Western Hemisphere's shared goals of democracy, security, and the rule of law."

Washington had recognized opposition leader, Juan Guaido, as the legitimate president of Venezuela and even mulled the so-called "humanitarian intervention" in order to remove the unwanted government of Nicolas Maduro from power.

Zakharova responded to Bolton by saying that his words prove that the US still considers "Latin America an area of its exclusive interests; its own 'backyard' and demands unquestionable obedience from it" just like it was in the Colonial times under the infamous Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe Doctrine, named after US President James Monroe, was a policy of opposing European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere beginning in 1823, with Washington essentially claiming stewardship over the Americas. At the same time, the doctrine stated that the US would not interfere with the internal affairs of European countries.

If the Americans deny other countries access to the Western Hemisphere, it begs the question "what are they themselves doing in Eastern Hemisphere?" she wondered, referring to the heavy US military presence in Europe and its involvement in 'color revolutions' in former Soviet states and the Balkans.

"Perhaps, they believe that the people of this part of the world will be thankful when Washington willfully changes their leaders and kills the unwanted ones. Or the US still believes that people are waiting for the Americans to bring democracy to them on the wings of their bombers. Ask Iraqis, Libyans or Serbs about it," the spokeswoman stated.

Russia must get out of Venezuela, all options open - Trump

US President Donald Trump has warned that Russia must get out of Venezuela. Two planeloads of Russian troops are currently in the Latin American country under the terms of a 2001 cooperation treaty.

Speaking at the White House, Trump also warned that "all options are open" when it comes to getting Russia out of Venezuela.

Around 100 Russian troops touched down in Caracas on Saturday, a show of support for President Nicolas Maduro's government. The move caused consternation in Washington, however, with Vice President Mike Pence calling the deployment an "unnecessary provocation."

Pence also called on Russia to withdraw its support of Maduro and "stand with Juan Guaido," the Washington-sponsored opposition leader who declared himself interim president in January.

Trump met with Guaido's wife, Fabiana Rosales, on Wednesday, and pledged his support to her husband. After the momentum behind his play for the presidency fizzled out, Guaido has continued to criticize Maduro's government, on Tuesday accusing the Venezuelan leader of violating the country's constitution by welcoming the Russian troops.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, insisted that the deployment was carried out "in strict accordance with the constitution of that country and with full respect for its legal norms."

US officials have repeatedly warned Russia against intervening in the Guaido/Maduro power struggle. National Security Adviser John Bolton tweeted on Monday that the "United States will not tolerate hostile foreign military powers meddling with the Western Hemisphere's shared goals of democracy, security, and the rule of law."

Bolton's words echoed those of Senate Armed Services Committee chair Jim Inhofe (R-Iowa), who threatened "whatever action necessary" should Russia encroach on "our hemisphere" last month.

Just did a bit of a look-up, and look what I found, from just a month ago: February 21, 2019.   Ain't that...like...amazing?

Putin to U.S.: I'm ready for another Cuban Missile-style crisis if you want one
https://news.yahoo.com/putin-u-im-ready-another-cuban-missile-crisis-104250060.html

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia is militarily ready for a Cuban Missile-style crisis if the United States wanted one and threatened to place hypersonic nuclear missiles on ships or submarines near U.S. territorial waters.

The Cuban Missile Crisis erupted in 1962 when Moscow responded to a U.S. missile deployment in Turkey by sending ballistic missiles to Cuba, sparking a standoff that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

More than five decades on, tensions are rising again over Russian fears that the United States might deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe, as a landmark Cold War-era arms-control treaty unravels.

Putin's comments, made to Russian media late on Wednesday, follow his warning that Moscow will match any U.S. move to deploy new missiles closer to Russia by stationing its own missiles closer to the United States or by deploying faster missiles or both.

Putin detailed his warning for the first time, saying Russia could deploy hypersonic missiles on ships and submarines which could lurk outside U.S. territorial waters if Washington now moved to deploy intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Europe.

"(We're talking about) naval delivery vehicles: submarines or surface ships. And we can put them, given the speed and range (of our missiles)... in neutral waters. Plus they are not stationary, they move and they will have to find them," Putin said, according to a Kremlin transcript.

"You work it out: Mach nine (the speed of the missiles) and over 1,000 km (their range)."

TREATY VIOLATIONS

The State Department dismissed Putin's earlier warning as propaganda, saying it was designed to divert attention from what Washington alleges are Moscow's violations of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.

It referred queries about Putin's latest remarks to the Pentagon, which did not immediately respond.

The INF pact bans Russia and the United States from stationing short- and intermediate-range land-based missiles in Europe. Washington announced on Feb. 1 it will withdraw from the treaty in six months unless Moscow ends its alleged violations.

Analyst Kingston Reif of the Arms Control Association think tank said Putin may be seeking to signal that Russia can keep up with the United States, to distract from its internal problems or to deflect blame for the parlous state of the INF treaty.

"He may also be trying to send the message that, look, neither side should want this world (of a new arms race) so we should sit down and resume discussions," Reif said.

Putin has said he does not want an arms race but would have no choice but to act if Washington deployed new missiles in Europe, some of which he says could strike Moscow within 10 to 12 minutes.

The United States does not currently have ground-based intermediate-range nuclear missiles that it could place in Europe but could develop and deploy them if the INF treaty collapses.

Putin said his naval response to such a move would mean Russia could strike the United States faster than U.S. missiles deployed in Europe could hit Moscow because the flight time would be shorter.

"It (the calculation) would not be in their favor, at least as things stand today. That's for sure." said Putin.

Relations between Moscow and Washington were strained, he added, but the tensions were not comparable to those of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

"They (the tensions) are not a reason to ratchet up confrontation to the levels of the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s. In any case that's not what we want," said Putin. "If someone wants that, well OK they are welcome. I have set out today what that would mean. Let them count (the missile flight times)."

Separately, Washington said on Thursday that it was carrying out an observation flight over Russia under the Open Skies Treaty, the first one since 2017.

In a statement, the Pentagon said an unarmed OC-135B aircraft was being used and Russia was aware of the flight.
