28. The Venezuelan military . . .
Fri Oct 31, 2025, 06:45 AM
Oct 2025

. . . is small but is not led by morons.

When we invade, expect the following to happen.

1. Venezuela will move their Air Force and as much of their Navy as possible to a friendly country -- Colombia, Brazil, . . .

2. Their soldiers and Marines will ditch their uniforms and take to the jungle that comprises about 65% of the country.

3. A small stay-behind force will defend the capitol until they are overwhelmed by US forces.

4. And then will begin an endless war in the shadows as US forces try to destroy the Venezuelan army and Marines that operate with a friendly population, supplied through a shadowy network from China and North Korea through other South American countries . . . similar to Vietnam and Afghanistan.

5. Then the body bags will start coming home to Dover Air Force Base and the military funerals hit small-town America . . .

We have been down this road before.
