"There’s no way they [US troops] can enter Venezuela."

"I don't think the USA is going to invade Venezuela."

The Trump administration "has shown no signs so far of clear intent for direct military action."

"No one in their right mind thinks that with 4,500 people you can invade a country that's got mountains, jungle and multiple urban centers."

"It appears as if Mr. Peace President is looking into invading Venezuela under the pretext that the whole country is an illegal drug cartel and Maduro is a fugitive and an illegitimate president."

"It is my belief the United States will invade and Occupy Venezuela by Jan 2026."

Senate Republicans rejected a bipartisan resolution on Thursday that would have required congressional approval before President Donald Trump could take military action against Venezuela.

Senate Republicans rejected a bipartisan resolution on Thursday that would have required congressional approval before President Donald Trump could take military action against Venezuela.

The resolution stated that recent U.S. military activity indicated hostilities were “imminent” and directed the president to “terminate” any activity without Congress’s approval. The motion, however, would not have prevented the U.S. from protecting itself in the event of an armed attack.
