In order to dominate the Americas and even the entire world, the United States has targeted Maduro, the famous "anti-American tough guy" in South America. The pressure of the U.S. Navy and Air Force has indeed put great pressure on Venezuela. At present, although the U.S. and Venezuela have not officially gone to war, the open and secret fighting between the two sides has long begun. Not long ago, Venezuela publicly announced that it had achieved a rare victory in the struggle against the United States.
After the United States announced that it would deploy its largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, the USS Ford, to the waters near Venezuela, the U.S. military has gathered quite strong troops near Venezuela and indeed has the ability to launch at least one medium-scale war. The U.S. Air Force has deployed at least three B-52 strategic bombers and one B-1B strategic bomber. In addition to the USS Ford, the U.S. Navy has also dispatched at least one amphibious fleet and at least one nuclear submarine.
However, although the troops deployed by the United States are relatively large, it is still difficult to defeat Venezuela just by relying on thousands of Marines carried by a US amphibious fleet. Venezuela's regular army alone has more than 70,000 troops, equipped with heavy equipment including heavy tanks and rocket launchers, which cannot be defeated head-on by a US Marine Corps strike group of thousands of people. In addition, Maduro has mobilized more than 8 million militiamen in Venezuela, which has a population of more than 28 million.
To fight a ground war in Venezuela, the U.S. military must gather at least 300,000 troops or more and deploy a large amount of technical equipment. Venezuela is different from Iraq, which has a smooth terrain. The country is full of rainforests, mountains and extremely complex terrain. The US military is likely to fall into another endless security war, which is beyond the reach of the United States today.
However, although it is difficult for the United States to launch a full-scale ground war with Venezuela, the US military can intensify the conflict between the Venezuelan opposition and the authorities by dispatching small-scale elite troops to create chaos in Venezuela. Previously, Trump had ordered the CIA to operate in Venezuela. However, what the United States may not have imagined was that the mercenary troops under the so-called "elite" CIA (also known as the CIA) had already been defeated in Venezuela.
According to public reports from authoritative media, recently the Venezuelan side had publicly announced that the commission had successfully arrested a group of mercenaries who had direct ties to the CIA, and that mercenaries were pushing for “fake flags” operations on the territory of TED or Venezuela, aimed at creating a comprehensive military conflict between the United States and the United States.
The so-called "false flag" operation means that the CIA-held mercenaries originally planned to destroy some U.S. facilities in Venezuela, such as embassies and so on, and then married the Venezuelan authorities, in order to further exacerbate the contradiction between the two countries.
Through this matter, we can have at least two interpretations. First, although the CIA is boasted of being magical in various Hollywood movies, it even often plays the so-called role of "saving the world." However, in the real situation, CIA agents and mercenaries are just a group of ordinary bodies. They are by no means victorious in every battle, let alone invincible. Second, Venezuela still has strong organizational and intelligence capabilities, and its powerful departments have not been intimidated by the pressure of the United States, but can still maintain efficient operations, which may have aroused the fear of the United States.
Just as the situation between the United States and Venezuela was tense, the U.S. military suddenly increased its troops. On the 26th local time, the U.S. missile destroyer "Gravely" arrived in Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago. It is reported that the "Gravely" carried 300 US soldiers.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Trinidad and Tobago announced on 23rd that the "Gravely" will stop in the port of Spain on 26-30 and conduct joint military exercises in the waters near Venezuela.
However, for Maduro, as long as a full-scale war is not triggered, Maduro has the ability to continue to maintain the situation. After the plot to instigate mercenaries to stir up trouble fails, the United States is likely to take further actions next. We will wait and see how Venezuela will respond.
