    I see a big difference between Russia (one of the world’s largest armies who has invaded Ukraine and Georgia in very recent times) possibly invading a country without any mutual defense treaty, and Venezuela (who hasn’t been in any type of war since the civil wars in the early 1900s) invading a country with a mutual defense treaty with the US. Brazil has already mobilized troops on their border with Venezuela. EDIT: I can’t find whether they still have a mutual defense treaty with the US. They aren’t part of the Rio Pact.

    I was not one of the people saying “nothing is going to happen” on Reddit about Ukraine. After Crimea and Georgia, I didn’t doubt Putin would do something.
