We need Ft. Trump.
If it’s not from one of Russia’s state-owned news offices, it’s not true, eh?

“Russian media outlets are reporting that the Kremlin is planning to establish a forward outpost on the Venezuelan island of La Orchila in the Caribbean Sea and base nuclear-capable Tu-160 Blackjack bombers, two of which just wrapped up a recent deployment to the country, at the site. If true, this could help bolster the embattled regime of Venezuelas dictatorial president Nicolás Maduro and would significantly change the strategic reality in the Western Hemisphere for the United States.”
"Colonel Eduard Rodyukov, a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Military Sciences, in turn, told Nezavisimaya Gazeta that "the arrival of Russias Tu-160 strategic bombers to Central America is kind of a signal to Trump to make him realize that abandoning nuclear disarmament treaties will have a boomerang effect."
Deploying TU-160s in South America just to send a message will have a boomerang effect too.
Other media outlets are carrying this story too. It is fact and it is time for Trump to say NO to the Russians in this issue.
The Monroe Doctrine relates to foreign efforts to take over or interfere with independent countries in our hemisphere. If the Venezuelans invite the Russians in, it doesn't apply. Remember that while the Monroe Doctrine was announced, Britain, France, Spain, Holland, and Denmark all had colonies in the New World.
