Will it though? Because if they don’t try to occupy it what stops the overall regime continuing with a new leader? It survived Chavez’s death after all, why would the removal of the far less popular Maduro faze it?
Especially if it is true that they’re planning on sending him through the American justice system as they’re currently saying. There’s a reason the Bush administration kept the people they’d illegally kidnapped in Gitmo, well away from any actual judges. What the fuck do they do if a judge looks at all the illegal shit they’ve done to capture him and throws the case out? Let him loose in America? Send him back to Venezuela a conquering hero who pulled one over on the hated US?
I said it would be “viewed as” a great success. I think it is a dumbass move that hurts pretty much everyone. But the US still does pointless drone strikes all over the Mideast because it is popular with a certain set of people who think it works.
This will be viewed as a success because they sent black ops people in there and extracted a dude and probably not many Americans died. I’m sure Hollywood will have a field day making zero dark thirty bullshit about it for “patriots” to beat off to.
The US may not need to occupy. Usually they install a military dictator after something like this. One that will be supported by the US in exchange for loyalty and oil
