When Donald Trump started the warships, marinine and drones again in August in Caractas, Spectacular deposition of military muscle forced by the power of authority from power.
But in recent days, as the largest aircraft carrier in the world and the strike group operated in the region and the US president continue to order the narirto-boats, the diplomat’s thinking has shifted.
“The facts on the ground have changed a lot,” the story said that the USS Gerald R Ford led the west between Latin America for decades.
Two months ago Story, who was Washington’s top diplomat for Venezuela from 2018 to 2023, saw only a 10% chance of some kind of US attack on Venezuelan soil and an 80% chance that Trump’s gambit would come to nothing. Now, he says that it is 80% certain that things will develop into some kind of military action and sees a 20% chance that the status quo will have.
“I will say [something is] is approaching, without a doubt, “that story predicted as observers in Venezuela and around the world agreed to meet what the unknown step of the US president.

“I’m more famous than Taylor Swift … I’m more famous than the bad bunny! I feel like recording an album too!” The 62-year-old heir to Hugo Chávez joked last week.
But those who know the former union leader believe that he undoubtedly felt the heat despite previous assassination attempts, an economic protest.
“I think he was nervous … not in [the top leaders] Relax … they see a real threat to their lives … Maduro may be sleeping in one of the bunkers built by Chávez, a former minister of Chávez who now lives.
Few believe that a Panamanian-style attack on Venezuela will happen, despite the many appearances of the Military Helicopter unit used to take care of Noriega four decades ago. Many experts suspect that Trump’s deployment is a negotiating tactic to force Maduro to make economic concessions or step down from power.
“We’re both at war and at the height of normalizing diplomatic relations. You hardly say that about any conflict,” said Benjamin Gedan of the Stimson Center in Washington.
After returning to power in January, Trump sent his special envoy, Ric Gresell, to meet with Maduro at the instigation of Cacaras – and rapprocomation negotiations are still ongoing, Despite some reports to the contrary.
Gedan, who is the South American director of National Security council during the Obama administration, thinks “the whole thing is a psyop … designed to spook Maduro into exile or provoke a palace uprising [or] Some kind of transfer that has not yet fired the shot in the Venezuelan territory”.
But Gedan can also rule that the US can stumble into war or launch military attacks, with the most unprecedented consequences. “[On one hand you have] A country that you are too bad to disagree with, that you are tempted to attack. And then at the same time your alternative policy is complete normalization. But I think that’s what we’re focusing on right now… those are the options.“
Many observers believe that the most likely part of Trump’s campaign – which, officially, is ordered to fight a “Narco-terrorist” is an air installation, perhaps a target of an air installation or a military or guerrilla installation.
The story said that he believes that one of the best ways to force Maduro from power is to target one of his closest political allies “one man attack” that the attack on Venezuelan politics with “Strong Style Style’s Style Sychys killed by the second person Dran.
Another option is a devastating aerial blitz. “In a couple of hours we can get their air force, their navy, their surface-to-air missile systems and we can destroy the government as best as we can [have] in the theater,” the story says.
The prospect of a US military intervention in America’s fifth-largest population has excited some of Maduro’s political enemies, who see it as the only way to break his 12-year hold on power. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the leader of the opposition Maria Corina Machado, who was accused of stealing his movement, that his team did what to do after his fall. “We are ready to take on the government. We have teams, we have plans – the first 100 hours, the first 100 days,” he said.
But there are also many fears about the possible consequences of toppling Maduro’s regime and further inflows into an unreached, politically divided and often lawless country.
Elías Ferrer, the founder of the research determined in Venezuela Orinoco research, said that a concern is a country civil in the years that was killed in 2011 its leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
Neighboring Colombia, which has spent decades battling guerrilla groups, offers another alternative. The Colombian insurgents have never been able to seize control of major cities such as Bogotá, Cali or Medellín. “But you can’t get rid of them. They continue to go around,” said Ferrer, warning that a similar conflict, where a similar conflict could prevent Venezuela, where many regions resemble the “wild west”.
Gedan believes that while some Venezuelan Hawks are rooting for the 1989 invasion of Panama, they would be better served studying AfGhanistan’s 20-year quagmire. “That’s the reality [Venezuela] more in most of Afghanistan than in Panama.“
Toppling Maduro is not a simple task, Gedan warns. “And it’s certainly going to be more complicated to get Venezuela back.”
