Just read an article about Venezuela's air defense systems and why almost nothing happened (I believe one US helicopter was hit but even that didn't get destroyed). It's obvious that even the best systems of smaller militaries couldn't handle the full force of an attack from so many ships, planes and helicopters because that will be many more rockets as those systems have to shoot back but pretty much everything Venezuela had didn't work anymore since a year or more and almost none of their few jets worked anymore.

So much about Russia helping Venezuela to defend itself. I wonder how awesome the capabilities of other Russian partners are. Or how Russia's own capabilities even are. Their were already scared of some Wagner troops driving to Moscow after all...

Neither Russia nor China wanted any part of this because they have their own missions they want to accomplish.  If anything this just opens up more aggression by all the big players since there is nothing the US can stand on with their aggression.  If the UN denounce the invasion the US will just say go F yourself which will also give the green light to more players to do the same since the US has the biggest stick out there.  If you ask me, Russia and China are probably quite happy with the events that took place in Venezuela.

Medvedev is, he's already fantasizing about doing the same with Germany and Kanzler Merz. 

But still, Russia did act as best buddy, they even agreed in October to work even closer together in many areas so I doubt Russia is happy that their future plans with Venezuela just ended now and I also doubt that those countries using mostly Russian systems are happy because they look weaker as well now. Most systems didn't work anymore which will be the case in other countries as well and those which did work just sucked. 

And if I wasn't clear, I'm 100% against what USA did especially for the real reason to get on oil and not to catch Maduro.
