Maduro's army may scatter at the first encounter.
The U.S. is stretching military forces to the shores of Venezuela, which may indicate preparations to overthrow the regime of dictator Nicolas Maduro.
What can the U.S. do to remove the regime in Caracas? The website Charter97.org talked about it with Ukrainian military and political observer of the group "Information Resistance" Alexander Kovalenko.
- First of all, it is, of course, a military operation with a maritime component. We now see that a strike group is being created off the coast of Venezuela, which is quite capable of conducting a point operation with the landing of troops directly in Caracas, including airborne. The U.S. has Osprey helicopters, and the amount of forces and means that are currently concentrated in the Venezuelan area is enough to conduct such an operation, but point by point, not throughout the country. If we are talking about Caracas, the first wave will destroy the air defense system, and then we will start the airborne landing operation.
That is, we will be talking about strikes with Tomahawk missiles and other missile-type weapons, and, of course, then the second wave will be the landing itself. The operation will have a classic look.
- How can Maduro respond to possible U.S. actions? Does he have any real allies capable of helping militarily?"
- Maduro will not be able to respond in any major way. He is not capable of confronting the United States. Yes, there will be attempts to counter, but I will call it something similar to Operation Desert Storm, only several times smaller. That is, attempts by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to counter the coalition - only several times smaller in scale. Accordingly, and the timing of the operation will be several times smaller.
Maduro has allies, of course, but they are so far away from him that it will be unrealistic to provide any direct support. Except at the diplomatic level, nothing more. They will not be able to provide physical support.
- Could the "Syrian scenario" happen, when the security forces refuse to support the dictator and simply scatter?
- Of course, such a scenario could happen, because the Venezuelan army is also heterogeneous. Maduro himself has a tight grip on power in Caracas itself. Well, certainly in other entities as well, but it should be noted that Caracas was the site of large-scale protests a few years ago, involving hundreds of thousands of people. Venezuelans are not satisfied with the Maduro regime.
For this reason, even within the army itself, there are different views on the future of Venezuela and the further path of its development. And, of course, there will be different camps. Among other things, some of the generals, feeling that their own skin is dearer to them, will either defect to the side of the United States or, let's say, to the side of the people, because if this operation starts, in any case, a wave of protests will start.
Protests will be one of the components of the United States operation in Venezuela, and, accordingly, they will have a serious significant component. So, yes, there will be defections, there will be disunity, that is, everything according to the classics - what we saw in Syria.
