Saint Petersburg (AFP)

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said the West was "crazy" for supporting an opposition leader in Venezuela over its president.

Putin said Juan Guaido was "likeable" but warned that the world would plunge into chaos if there were no rules. "But if we adopt this way of coming to power -- a man walks into a square, lifts up his eyes to heaven and declares himself president before God -- would this be normal or not?" he told heads of global news agencies at an economic forum in the second city of Saint Petersburg.

"Well, then chaos will consume the world," he warned. "Let's elect a US president, a British prime minister, a French president like that. What will it be?

"I feel like asking those who support this: have you gone crazy, do you understand where this is going? Should there be rules or not?"

And I 2nd the 1st post...Vlad Fuckov!

All the bravado from the buffoon, Bolton, Pompeo, Rubio, etc. telling Maduro to go to a beach somewhere or maybe leave the country in a hard box was all crap, Putin is pulling the strings wherever the buffoon goes. What a pitiful creature the buffoon is, why do we allow that filthy creature do everything he does? I don't understand it. I don't understand Pelosi...

Forget it Vlad, I just need a fill up, check the oil and clean the windshield. What? This isn't a gas station masquerading as a country?
