The usual tactics of a cowardly bully: carefully and painstakingly chosen fights, where her chances of getting beaten are reduced to the barest minimum so she appears to possess untold might before and after her conquest.
In this case they can't even pretend to use Guyana as Ukraine 2.0 to fight a proxy war.
The Pentagon has gamed the different scenarios, having realised that their is a real chance of a success, has gone all in under the guise of Maduro being the head of a drug cartel only the Pentagon is aware of.
But I bet Maduro won't go down without giving the cowards a run for their money: 4k invaders vs 4.5M militia.
If the US is disgraced here, like she was in Vietnam and, recently, by the Taliban after spending trillions of dollars she never had, just know the whistle has been blown on her demise. We can begin to countdown to the fall of the mighty - and what a fall it would be!
I am optimistic here that this (mis)adventure would dial up her end several notches higher than we have hoped for.
Venezuela could well be a slippery slope.
We are watching and sipping chilled kunu while at it.

⚡Secretary of State Marco Rubio talks about why the US is preparing to invade Venezuela:

Maduro's elections were completely rigged. Russia's presence in Venezuela is noticeable, and Iran's influence is growing.

The Iranians are building drone manufacturing plants there, right in our hemisphere.

Additionally, the Venezuelan regime issues illegitimate but genuine passports to Hezbollah forces.

I don't care whether they succeed or not.

I just want to see Russian supplied missiles slamming hard on targets in Washington and New York city.

The US thinks it's invincible because of its geographic location. No one in the Americas has missiles that can reach US mainland.

Say what you will about the Hegemony, but they are relentless.

They'll take a loss in stride, go back to the drawing board, and return with a vengeance.
I understand why the Axis is playing defense. But at some point, the bloc would have to become aggressive and shift to the offense.

I hope the Axis uses this gift from Washington judiciously.
If Maduro can hold out, the Axis should overtly step up their support. Deploy warships, expand munition plants, flood the terrain with ADs and radars. Everything the West has done in Ukraine should be done in Venezuela and then some.

First of all, you denied and disdainfully called him a nutritionist when he told you facts about starvation. Then later on, you accepted that it 'may be true' but there is nothing to back it up because all the things the UN said and the pictures they posted are mere lies until the Israel government says otherwise. Now that you can't deny it, you're bragging that the guys on fp are more brutal than you. 3 different, contradictory stances in 3 days, so who really is trying to change facts and why should anyone take you seriously?

bryght4u:
Real question is: would they?
They've been awfully silent since Trump announced the deployment of an American force off the coast of Venezuela.
Perhaps it's the silence before the storm and then we'd begin to understand that they had all this well planned out in advance.
Or
Perhaps its resignation to fate.
Either ways Maduro has to buckle up.
Help will come but he'll have to have his skin in the game first, like Iran did, and hold out for that help.
However, the US is quite close to home in this battle and can quite easily ramp up deployment of assets to counter whatever the Axis throws at them.
I just pray it'll involve a ground invasion.
If it does then I think Maduro stands a chance but the US will only send boots on ground after she must've bombed Venezuela back to stone age.
The "shock and awe" doctrine is not just to instil maximum damage but also to strike fear into the hearts of minds of men - military, paramilitary, militia, civilians - in case of a ground invasion.

LordAdam16:
The US does not need to deploy troops.

Venezuela has a robust opposition and is on the border with Colombia.
Years of sanctions and economic malaise as well as a forever insurgency in Colombia means Washington has lots of cannon fodders to throw at Maduro. If he lives long enough that is.
An Iran 2.0 that takes out the political and military hierarchy is very likely enough to send the regime into a tailspin.
Venezuela is not a civilization state and whatever Israel threw at Iran, the US can throw 10x more.

Mikasaobi:
Venezuela has been hostile towards USA for decades. Why do you think they’re doing this now? I mean what’s the rush, it’s just barely over six months of Trump presidency. I know Trump talked about Venezuela oil during campaign but is this just about oil. Could it be about china because china gets a lot of food resources from South America and they’re starting with Venezuela. Maybe they think Russia could put missiles in Venezuela since they left the INF treaty. Am just thinking out here because it seems really unnecessary to go this far for just oil and gas.

I don't understand the bolded

First, Most you guys (sympathizer) don't know the difference between hunger and starvation. Check the meaning of both words

What he (shoodboi) said was children are likely to starve more than adults....... which is somehow true because the say was "children are likely to be more hungrier than adults" but due to propaganda you guys replace hunger with starvation.....two different thing. Also I said hunger may lead to starvation that is why I said what he said is somehow true

Hunger is selective, starvation is not selective.
Check wars where starvation was used as weapon e.g Nigeria civil war......you will know the difference

What is happening in Gaza is not starvation but pure evil from hamas and the mothers of children on display........simple. starvation is not selective.

The real starved people are the hostages

LordAdam16:
The Houthi situation is proof that the famed Mossad intelligence is overrated.

They heavily rely on internal disgruntled/opportunistic elements open to sabotage.
As in Lebanon and Iran.

They've had 2 years to fill up a target bank in Yemen, and they're still striking abandoned palaces and power stations.

shoodboi2:
Don’t put words in my mouth. I never said children likely starve quicker than adults. I said “Children starve quicker than adults”.

That is a factual statement backed by science and as I said back then, common sense. It is not one based on likelihood or whatever agenda you are trying to promote.

Hunger and starvation are two very clear and distinctive things and are not something we should start an argument about.

Even Israel’s most voracious backers, from the UN and down to Trump himself have agreed there is starvation in Gaza.

Just yesterday, the UN upgraded it from mass starvation to outright famine. “Human-caused famine” as they called it since they know calling it an “Israeli-caused famine” will piss off their Zionist friends and funders.

But somehow, it is you who wants to continue to argue that there isn’t mass starvation in Gaza. Well, you can continue to argue about that. But it is not going to be with me.

They along with the Shin Bet and the Israeli military have been demystified within the last two years. I used to think they were highly capable and invincible until quite recently.

Every POTUS tries to solve the Venezuela puzzle.
Biden spent only 4 years, he also authorized a regime change operation.
47 is keeping with tradition. But since all the earlier attempts failed, they're bringing the big guns.

"...which is somehow true because..."

You are still struggling to admit that he was right and you were wrong. I don't think there is anyone that doesn't understand the difference between the two but you can't resist your habit of playing dumb in order to prolong arguments. You can direct your expert, first-hand knowledge of what's really happening in Gaza to the doctors, the UN, the aid agencies, and the Palestinians themselves thar are all supposedly lying. We don't need it here
