Venezuela is not exactly a military juggernaut, but it is a nation of 28 million people with more than 100,000 active military personnel. I think it would take more than seven ships and 2,200 marines to knock them over, pr at least to make it a sure thing.
Maybe, buildup continues-so they have something in mind..decapitation? first strike that causes regime collapse-Maduro isn’t loved by his people-and who knows if the army would even fight ..maybe we’re already stoking a post-strike insurgency..our regime won’t risk an L-something is afoot.
