Trump’s pressure on Venezuela is increasing opposition to the attack. It can be a big face to face

The formation of American troops near Venezuela and a series of alleged deadly attacks Drug smuggling boats in coastal waters have raised the specter of a coup or an attack on the South American country.
The Trump administration has made no secret of the fact that they want to see Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro out of power. Trump called Maduro a drug lord and accused Venezuela of emptying its prisons in the US, and introducing drugs into the country.
Trump also said that he is considering doing national jobs in the country. This has led to speculation that the US may try to organize some kind of coup, or launch a military attack on the Oust leader. However, that still seems likely, some experts say, as any military action instituted by the Trump administration would face strong opposition.
“As for sending US troops to defeat the Venezuelan army and stay in the country, I don’t see it,” said William Leorogrande, a professor of Government at the American University in Washington, DC and an expert on Latin America.
While the US has intervened in Latin American countries before, Leogrande says it never has It has invaded the country south of Panama, and they have all worked in Central America and the Caribbean.
“Venezuela is not a small country,” he said.
Since the beginning of September, American forces have destroyed at least nine boats, killing 37 people. The latest attack was announced on Wednesday by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who said the US military had launched two strikes against vessels carrying drugs in the Pacific Ocean.
The US has said, without providing evidence, that the ships are used to smuggle drugs and treat suspected drug dealers as illegal fighters.
This has led some observers to accuse Washington of colluding in military medicine that violates US and World law.
Trump authorizes CIA Cofirt operations
Last week, Trump revealed that he he had authorized the CIA to carry out covert operations inside Venezuela. The US also announced a $50 million US reward for any information that led to Maduro’s arrest on drug-trafficking charges.
At that time, these related missions report that the US is building up military forces in the region, including an eight-ship warship, a group of sailors from Puerto Rico and more than 6,000 sailors.
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he has authorized CIA operations in Venezuela as part of increased pressure to fight the country, which is suspected of drug and criminal activity.
It is not clear whether Trump Determined to launch an attack, Leogrande noted that the US forces currently in the area are not enough to take over the country.
Trump could face a major backlash from some of the non-immigrant Maga Base, which criticized the president for his strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June.
“Invasion of Venezuela is not on the cards,” it said Geoff Ramsey, senior fellow at Adhantic Council Adjitne Adsht Latin America America.
Ramsey pointed out that Venezuela is home to one of the largest stockpiles of weapons in the western hemisphere. And, there is Several groups operate in the country which can be approx take arms to It is a US military intervention event, he said.
That includes Colombian Guerrilla groups such as the National Liberation Army (ElN) and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), and For the reliable elements of the Venezuelan military, and pro-government forces called Colectivos, he said.
Risk of a ‘Libyan-Style Meltdown’
There is also the bolivarian army, which is a citizen’s militiaA is that Maduro has decided to directly deal with the possibility of military intervention, said Ramsey.
“There is a real danger that we end up melting down in a Libya-style nest three hours from Miami,” he said, referring to what is happening where violence emerges, leading to violence, conflict between a rival war and a second war.
As for Venezuela’s land borders, the government has a capable air defense system, which at least could force a direct confrontation with us, according to Ramsey.
“So far that has been a red line that the administration has not crossed,” he said.
“It’s not as simple as hitting a few safe houses or gacaine laboratories in Venezuela.”
Last month, a Venezuelan F-16S flew over a US destroyer and left it missing, despite a stern warning from the Pentagon.
“The fact that those planes weren’t shot out of the sky shows that this administration has some policing in place,” Ramsey said.

CHALLENGES FOR SECURING Change
Even without direct military intervention, any kind of regime change in Venezuela comes with its own challenges, observers say.
The US is not doing well to spend Latin American leaders or Latin leaders.
It invaded Grenada in 1983 following the Marxist-LED Coupon of the Couple Government there, and invaded Panama in 1989 to frame Manuel General Noriega for drug-trafficking charges.
The CIA also played a major role in subverting Latin American governments. While the effort failed in Cuba, it succeeded in places like Guatemala and Chile.
But in those circumstances, leorogrande notes the rebel army was the key, and he says that won’t be easy in Venezuela.
“That’s the problem the CIA is going to have,” he said. “They will not be able to separate the army from the state.”

Maduro has been ‘vindicated’
Ramsey says Maduro be very good at keeping high numbers of soldiers happy to end any conflict.
“He has gone through 25 years of witnessing unity,” he said. “I don’t see the Venezuelan military coming out of Maduro and linking to the opposition… That promised to bring them justice for twenty years. “
Leogrande said that much of Trump’s actions taken so far have been indicative of his drug addiction.
So instead of making a scene or launching a military strike, he says Trump could just launch a few more strikes on suspected drug boats before declaring victory.
“He can hit a lot of things and say, ‘Yeah, you know, really, we’ve stopped the flow of drugs … and we’ve declared victory,'” Leorogrande said. “When you hit the boat it stops being a topic, it stops being important.”
Ramsey says he believes the President may not have decided what to do with Venezuela, perhaps because there are competing camps in his administration with different views on the way forward.
That includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, an active figure for regime change, by comparison Richard Grenelll, the special organization of the president, who likes the way of communication and wanted to strike some kind of cooperation with Maduro.
Right now, Ramsey says it looks like the Rubio wing is winning. However, he notes that if it is clear that the only way to force Maduro without doing Libya-style is to deprive Libya-style of the environment, then “the opportunity is the nature of Trump.”
