US forces are already inside Venezuela carrying out operations but one id10t says it's not an invasion. US helicopters entered inside Venezuelan territory but it isn't an invasion. The US soldiers are Venezuelans I guess, and the helicopters belong to Venezuela too right? U go explain tire. |

WriteerNg:guy, they would twist themselves into knots before they accept they goofed the longer this goes on without a quick, open-and-shut end, the worse it gets for them i have gone on record to say i do not fancy venezuelan's chances and you can see why with the deep infiltration of low-flying helos but let's see what the report card by the end of today if there are any heroics and what the contingency plans are this is clearly a decapitation mission with special operatives just to make sure the targets are captured or dead if it fails, all bets are off because failure would already mean dead americans before we get into further actions this is the trap 46 gleefully walked into -Lord |

Alamkiir:There’s a reason the US is using helicopters rather than airplanes for its assault. Shooting at helicopters is different from airplanes. Most ADs are optimized for airplanes and helis can easily bypass them by flying low or flying around mountains. When detected, the helicopters can just remain in hover position which makes them hard and sometimes impossible to zero on. The script here is to use low flying helicopters to take out the ADs. Thereafter, the jets will be able to fly freely across the Venezuelan skies. |

shoodboi2:Thank you. I don't even think air defense systems can detect helicopters. |

⚡U.S. sources report that the Delta special forces operation in Caracas is now in its most critical stages. The mission, focused on detaining Nicolás Maduro and several senior Venezuelan officials, is actively underway. The U.S. military helicopters are operating at low altitude which make them an easy targets for air defense systems but there is no defensive response from the Venezuelan air defense forces.. |

shoodboi2:fa you use helos when you have suppressed air defense in a locale anyone with an ancient rpg in the immediate vicinity can turn an helo into scrap metal even if air defenses are neutralized so if you're flying in and it's not a suicide mission, you have a high degree of confidence that there is no hostile with the ability to take you out -Lord |

LordAdam16:So you're saying the US first disabled Venezuelan air defense systems or what? |

dermmy:US military might is hinged on the fact that they can weaken others economically before they can even use military power. They have done so with Iran, and they are currently doing the same thing with Russia. They only need to sanction the country they want to mess us with and instruct their allies to do the same or threaten any country that does trade with such country they’re dealing with. China economy is different. They simply can’t do same for China. Even if they decide to sanction China, they can’t stop their allies from trading with China or threaten anyone from trading with them. Why, because China has grown tremendously that most countries depend directly or indirectly on them for survival. This is similar to how US has been able to make everyone rely on them. Should China go to any direct war at the moment, they’d have to be spending from their economy and eventually get distracted to the point that they’d lose the current growth and advantage they possess. US understands this which is why they have been baiting them. And I like XI, he’s not going to fall to their bait. I support China only Use military power when they’re directly confronted, otherwise they should continue to stay focused. |

WriteerNg:we will know what happened by this time tomorrow but this is not iran the us has enough assets in the area to create slim, localized air corridors to take out prized targets e get why months ago when the buildup started, i encouraged their honchos to relocate their families war is not a video game to be fair it is a high risk mission the right hostile in the right place at the right time with the right weapon will f*ck up their approach but they're opting for a high risk, high reward initiative because the alternative is shittier for obvious reasons, maduro refused to authorize shootdown of surveillance drones and crafts that had been breaching venezuelan airspace nonstop for weeks so he doesn't get painted as firing the first shot the houthis don't care, maduro does so the pentagon has really detailed maps of where sh*t are positioned, a good guess of reaction times, best routes, and potential pitfalls so they know what air defense installations to hit that'll open up a little pocket to insert special operators for whatever mission objectives they have you have to be a really sh*t flag officer to screw this up with that much situational awareness or be against a talented, crafty foe where something like an innocuous civilian machinery or installation is dual-use and we will find out soon enough what's what if na iran, houthis, russia, china, even north korea, i no dey worry even hez sef, i would have zero apprehension there are just too many open questions about venezuela's fighting capabilities -Lord |
