Its not emotional really. I think Russia has a great deal of interest in Venezuela. If the U.S. is back in Venezuela of which there is no guarantee that will happen, and begins to help Venezuela manage their own oil industry and increase output and generate something of a better life for themselves. A drop in the price of oil might occur. Russian oil wouldn't like that at all.

Regular show of flag event (we would have sent ships if those were availiable), overblown by the US.
