"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."

Will the US Invade Venezuela?

The United Nations Security Council convened for an emergency meeting on December 23 after Venezuela requested the session in a letter dated December 17, citing escalating tensions from what it described as U.S. aggression against the country. China and Russia supported Venezuela's meeting request.

At least 105 people have been killed in strikes on suspected drug boats as part of Operation Southern Spear since early September. The Trump administration has labeled those killed as unlawful combatants and claimed the ability to engage in lethal strikes without judicial review.

President Trump declined to specify his endgame in Venezuela but raised the threat of land strikes and said it would be smart for President Maduro to step down. Trump stated that if Maduro plays tough, it would be the last time he is ever able to play tough.
