Ground invasion is out of the question, a couple weeks of aerial bombardment, most likely
Chance of actually overthrowing Maduro, 0%
- Ground invasion is out of the question
  We said the same thing about Ukraine back in the day. It seems to me as though the people in charge are incredibly arrogant about what they can get away with. It's not like popularity or approval rating seems to matter a whole lot to them right now

  Ukraine didn't require a massive amphibious operation, neither did Iraq for that matter, we can't compare apples and the equivalent of a prickly cactus, the geography of Venezuela is a deathtrap for ground forces coming in from the coast, without the Colombian border route open, the US has no chance of a viable ground based assault

  And despite how easy it would be for Russia to turn Ukraine into Iraq, NATO still decided to use it for its geopolitical schemes. And I think the people in power now are even more deranged. I could see them launch a failed invasion - Pete Hegseth would probably love talking about boots on ground
  
  Ukraine is flatter than me on Estrogen. It's incredibly easy to just roll on in there.
  Venezuela is incredibly mountainous, including its coastline. Even an amphibious landing would be very difficult.
  Its a lot of tall mountains, and narrow river valleys. The white guy who named it, called it Venezuela because it reminded him of Venice, Italy.

  Advanced topography studies :kelly:
  
  "Incredibly easy" is a bit of an overstatement, iirc Ukraine is muddy as hell in a lot of places, like Siberia.
  
  And despite how easy Ukraine is to invade we (NATO) still decided to use it to provoke Russia. Now the people in charge are even less connected to reality
