Venezuela needs Russian presence to thwart the USA
attempting to steal its oil. I think Maduro knows better, now welcoming
Russian warships calling at its ports. This is making the USA paranoid.
It
is actually a masterstroke by Putin. Russia's foothold in Venezuela
would be seen as extending its military muscle into South America to
threaten the USA if done without reasonable excuse. Russia's military
being welcomed by Maduro as a gesture of strategic co-operation tells a
different story. The USA has no reason to find fault with it, as it is
already interfering in the internal affairs of Venezuela by making
spurious claims regarding its election result and instigating chaos
because its stooge cannot take power and give it access to the oil.
The
second important point is that Russia now has a strategic presence in
USA's backyard, a position it held in the 60s in Cuba. Venezuela may be a
tad further away than Cuba from the USA mainland, but with today's
nuclear missile and drone range it is no longer material.
The USA keeps meddling with the hornet's nest and will get bitten in return if it is not careful.

Bangladesh just succumbed to a regime change orchestrated by the USA and the West. The former PM, Sheikh Hasina, said that in no uncertain terms. The narrative being invented was that the regime change was orchestrated by student protestors. Of course, students instigated by the USA supported NGOs and the CIA undertaking the job of underwriting them.
This Bangladesh caretaker PM is a stooge, having lived in France, after escaping prosecution for fraud. The West will always afford their stooge a safe abode until the situation is ripe for them to take over the Government of the country they targeted. The fact that he was acquitted of graft by withdrawal of the charges, just days after he was sworn in as interim PM speaks volumes of how complaint is the judiciary system towards the perpetrators of the regime change. Everything had been perfectly coordinated and greased to work in tandem.
For years Bangladesh had been targeted for a regime change, using debt traps set by the IMF and the CIA and USA funded NGOs working the ground. Regime changes are being targeted in many South Asian countries, with Pakistan already fallen and now Bangladesh too. Next will be Sri Lanka. Poverty is the most fertile ground for regime changing activities to work, as people are easily bought over to go against the legitimate Government.
Bangladesh is one of the favorite investment destinations for Chinese companies, especially in low tech industries like textiles. As a result, Bangladesh, which had been seen as moving too close to China and needs to be pry apart, just like Pakistan under PM Imran Khan. The USA had eyes also on regime changes in Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar all tightly controlled by their military and not that easy to instigate.
What we are seeing in Thailand today is regime changing tactics that failed, but the funding and instigation is ongoing. The USA and the West wants to get rid of the Thai Monarchy, the unifying force of many coups. Getting rid of the Monarchy makes the USA and the West's agenda for a regime change that much easier to accomplish with the unifying force gone. The Thais know that for a fact and wants to get rid of USA funded NGOs creating chaos. The Thais Government is enacting a law requiring NGOs operating in Thailand to disclose their funding sources, which will thwart the nefarious activities of the USA funded NGOs for good. And of course, the USA and the West are up in arms over it.
