"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."

Cuba and Venezuela have maintained close political and economic ties since 1999, with Venezuelan crude oil flowing to Cuba in exchange for Cuban doctors and security personnel. The loss of Venezuelan oil shipments, estimated at around 35,000 barrels per day, could severely impact Cuba's economy.

Innocent Venezuelan families endured terror as US bombs destroyed homes in civilian areas, leaving children traumatized and an 87-year-old woman burned. The attacks violated international law and the UN Charter, targeting residential complexes where working families live, not military installations alone.
