"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 Senate voted 52-47 on Thursday to advance a resolution requiring President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval before taking further military action in Venezuela. Five Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure, including Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Todd Young of Indiana and Josh Hawley of Missouri.

The vote followed a U.S. military operation over the weekend that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores in a nighttime raid in Caracas. The Trump administration characterized the operation as a law enforcement action against a drug kingpin rather than a military action requiring congressional authorization.

President Trump posted on Truth Social after the vote that the five Republican senators who supported the resolution "should never be elected to office again." Trump argued that the vote hampers American self-defense and national security, and claimed the War Powers Act is unconstitutional.

Senator Todd Young of Indiana, who previously opposed similar resolutions, explained his vote by stating he is not prepared to commit American troops to a mission in Venezuela. Young noted that President Trump and his team have stated the United States now runs Venezuela, raising questions about whether an American military presence will be required.

The resolution must still pass a final Senate vote next week and would then need approval from the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Even if both chambers pass the measure, Trump is expected to veto it, and the 52-47 margin falls short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto.

Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, a Democratic co-sponsor of the resolution, argued that U.S. involvement in Venezuela extends beyond a single arrest operation. Kaine stated that the seizure of oil and dictation of terms about Venezuelan elections and politics will continue for years, requiring congressional authorization under the Constitution.
