Now why on earth would Russia want to halt the leak? Especially when they're so mad at us about Venezuela and the oil we're seizing? 🤔
They aren't. Owe a bank 10 bucks, it's your problem. Owe a bank a million, it's their problem. Those countries gave their gold and resources to Russia. Now, when they expect to receive support back, the US is giving them an excuse why they don't need to as long as they perform a bit of false flag theater they are so accustomed to. Venezuela's oil is hard to refine cheaply and Russia has plenty not to mention they are a competitor, they are more concerned about the US Chevron and Exxon tankers Ukraine is disrupting from buying their oil after Trump quietly allowed them to resume.
Russia wants to assist Trump while feigning their part as the "enemy", yet they always manage to work lockstep in the grand scheme of things. So much so, that I expect that when the US does launch an operation against Greenland, they will try to be sneaky about it yet do it with Russia's help, likely from one the detachments claiming to be following one of the shadow fleets.
Russia considers its allies temporary and expendable, they've sacrificed theirs in negotiations to cooperate with the US to divide up their direct influence into hemispheres. Russia is specially interested in restoring the old USSR borders, but now just any win will do. Getting rid of competitors and letting go of the political baggage of their allies once exhausted is what they do. The regime puppets have already sent all their gold to Russia to try to secure their retirement within their borders. Russia treats its allies like the US is starting to.
