Please include sources for any claims; baseless speculation is counterproductive. Remember that this is not a win for the US, just another outburst of a dying empire.

Warning speculative analysis for now that is shared from a Cuban Telegram
🪖During the attack on targets in Caracas, US military helicopters entered from the mountains and uninhabited areas at extremely low altitude, remaining in the “shadow” of Venezuelan air defenses, which had already been weakened by electronic warfare and a cyberattack.
The US helicopters were unable to capture La Carlota air base, where they intended to land troops and use it as a logistics center, but they continued their kidnapping mission, managing to leave in just over two hours.
Fuck, this type of shit is why I’m immediately going to be on the side of caution when saying Venezuela just let the U.S. in. Trump came in with a shit ton of flare, that’s what signifies weakness, not strength. If this wasnt just a show, he’d sneak in and sneak out with little commotion, which would do more to cause civil war. The U.S. may be a paper tiger, but it’s a paper tiger with radio jammers that seriously fuck them up no matter how prepared they are.
Yeah I don’t think it’s “hyping up US super soldiers” or whatever to recognize how the US has decisive technical advantages that allowed it to pull off this cowardly surprise attack. I’m reserving judgment on how much of the US operation’s success was due to intentional stand-down orders from traitors in Venezuela vs. the decisive role of US electronic warfare (ECM and infrared jammers), cyberattacks, air defense suppression (air-launched anti-radiation missiles and gunship escorts) and just the plain element of surprise of helicopters flying nap-of-the-earth at night over rugged terrain. There had to have been CIA infiltrators though, I think we’re in the process of finding out.
There’s likely some, maybe a couple on the guard side, but at this point, the indicators ive seen from people like Delcy Rodríguez are showing that most of the cabinet is safe (the foreign minister, VP/oil minister/Acting President, military commanders).
I’m guessing musk’s offer of "free* starlink for a couple of months will be for spying and we really don’t know what other purposes, other than cutting it at crucial moments?
Requesting analyses from anyone knowledgeable, please and thank you.
I have no idea about that one.
Sending love across the river for you and Mexico, sibling comrade.
