Putin himself, so that does not make logical sense. However with Trump all logic is out the window.

There isn't remote justification for "invading" Venezuela. Trump has no such authority really anyway. This isn't Iraq with a "UN Mandate". Trump can't just order an attack. I know people think he can, but he can't.

US, Russia divided on Venezuela crisis after talks as Moscow warns against military intervention

[link:https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/2019/03/19/us-russia-divided-on-venezuela-after-talks-as-moscow-warns-against-military-intervention/|

Speaking to Russian media, Ryabkov emphasized the need for dialogue with the U.S. but warned Washington against military intervention.

President Donald Trump has said “all options are on the table” regarding Venezuela, which Russia interprets as a refusal to exclude military force, Ryabkov said.

"We have warned the U.S. against that reckless approach," Ryabkov said in remarks that were carried by the state Tass and RIA Novosti news agencies.
