"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 U.S. formally resumed operations at its embassy in Caracas on Monday, ending a seven-year closure that began in March 2019, when all diplomatic personnel were withdrawn amid deteriorating relations with Venezuela.

The State Department described the reopening as "a key milestone" in the president's three-phase plan for Venezuela, aimed at strengthening engagement with the country's interim government, civil society and the private sector.

Reopening the U.S. Embassy in Caracas right after a military operation seized Maduro reeks of resource grab, not liberation. Venezuela sits on the world's largest proven oil reserves, and no democratic election has been scheduled despite the opposition winning. The order of operations here tells the whole story — oil comes first, democracy comes never.

Reopening the U.S. Embassy in Caracas is a critical step in a deliberate, structured plan to restore real diplomacy with Venezuela. Ambassador Laura Dogu is already on the ground, rebuilding the chancery and engaging Venezuela's interim government, civil society and the private sector. This is exactly how a responsible transition back to legitimate governance gets done.
