West wants to ‘destroy’ Russia – Venezuela
President Nicolas Maduro has denounced attempts to start “a big war” with Moscow

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused the West of trying to “dismember” Russia amid sweeping sanctions on Moscow over its military campaign in Ukraine. Maduro’s country has been living under major US embargoes since 2019.
“They are lining up, economically, politically, and diplomatically [in the West] for a big war against Russia. From Venezuela, we denounce it,” Maduro said in a televised speech on Friday.
“They want a war to dismember Russia, destroy it in pieces and end the hope of a multipolar world where we can all live.”
The South American country condemned Thursday’s vote in the UN General Assembly to suspend Russia from the global organization’s Human Rights Council. Venezuelan
Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia said the move “destroys bridges” necessary for dialogue and “seriously threatens security, order and global peace.”
The US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Venezuela, hitting its oil industry, among other things. Washington has openly supported Maduro’s political opponent, Juan Guaido, while Maduro accused the West of trying to oust him from power.

Venezuela is, as we know, another democratic nation that the US has attempted to destroy.
Maduro doesn't appear to realize, however, that if Russia is to be destroyed then everybody else gets destroyed along with it.
NATO really should have been disbanded along with the USSR. It's what Gorbachev hoped and expected.
