    You wouldn’t expect military assets somewhere that they aren’t active in.

    Like María Machado, an unelected civilian, meeting with American politicians? Like how she entered an alliance with Likud?

      Venezuelan Opposition Presidential Candidate María Corina Machado

      This is how you described them. They are a politician then… Yes, you would expect them to meet with and converse with other politicians.

      Please explain why a possible Russian MILITARY asset would be in Venezuela. Please explain how these are the same.

        Was she a presidential candidate in 2005 when she met with Bush?

        Maduro is the elected president (disputed or not). The government is allowed to form partnerships and have diplomatic relationships with foreign governments. It’s treasonous for citizens of a nation to enter monetary and political agreements with foreign governments opposed to their country of residence.
