"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 House rejected a Democratic-backed resolution on Thursday that would have prevented President Donald Trump from sending U.S. military forces to Venezuela, with the vote ending in a 215-215 tie that fell short of the majority needed for passage.

Republican leaders held the vote open for more than 20 minutes while Rep. Wesley Hunt, who had been campaigning for a Senate seat in Texas, rushed back to Capitol Hill to cast the decisive vote, prompting Democrats to shout that Republican leaders were violating procedural rules.

Two Republicans, Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska and Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted with all Democrats in favor of the resolution, which would have directed Trump to remove U.S. troops from Venezuela unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization.

Rep. Brian Mast, the Republican chair of the House Armed Services Committee, said the U.S. military completed its Venezuela mission with "Operation Absolute Resolve," the Jan. 3 U.S. invasion and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, calling it a law enforcement action.

The Trump administration told senators last week that there are no U.S. troops on the ground in Venezuela and committed to obtaining congressional approval before launching major military operations there, though Democrats argued the resolution was necessary after the raid to capture Maduro.

Senate Democrats questioned who is benefiting from Venezuelan oil contracts after the U.S. granted Vitol, the world's largest independent oil broker, a license worth roughly $250 million, noting that a senior partner at Vitol gave roughly $6 million to Trump-aligned political action committees.
