Venezuela thread

Is it a war if you do not invade?
Just lob all your munitions from a distance!

Pearl Harbor?

 

[DZero]

I don't be surprised if Trump residence gets attacked, and Trump says that is Venezuela's fault. Like Putin.

But both don't want to declare war.

Early reporting / rumors, of a US invasion.
Unclear to what extent. Special forces?

Twitter has videos of chinooks over Caracas, so troops will be on the ground

Be careful of AI.

I understand the risk and cautioned by saying early reports and rumors.
OTOH... we should use all the tools at our disposal to oppose tyranny. The unlawful evil of this admin pushes the limits of my... caution. Truth is sacrificed in war.

it is not being done against American citizens, but this is a prelude on whether the military will follow an unlawful order or not

They always will. To oppose it would be called a coup, is immediately punishable by death, and is a sacrifice no one is willing to make.

Jan 3rd, 2026 is regime change in Venezuela?

Eyewitnesses report particularly heavy and ongoing sounds of explosions in Fuerte Tiuna, a sprawling military base in the center of Caracas that is home to Venezuela’s top brass and many senior government officials.

Wow. Trump really did it. Wonder how the rebuilding of Venezuelan govt is going to go and how many cronys and right wing nuts are going to be involved.

Yeah the Venezuelan government is still functioning.

Unless ofcause there are opposition forces ready to topple the government in the current power vacuum.
