Russia is signaling deeper military support for Venezuela as tensions with the U.S. hit their highest point. A senior Russian lawmaker said Moscow may supply advanced weapons to Caracas — including the new Oreshnik missile and Kalibr cruise missiles — with “no international restrictions stopping the transfer”. Analysts warn these systems could put much of the Americas within range. This comes as U.S. strikes intensify in the Caribbean and Washington expands operations against alleged narco-terror networks. With both sides escalating, fears of a wider confrontation in the region are rising fast.
