10. I've thought the same thing today

The missile attacks looked like they weren't targetting anything vital. Seen pictures of blown up shipping containers for example. Helicopters flew into Caracus with no air defense being used? There was stronger anti-air defense in the middle of the wilderness in Afghanistan than we saw last night. Then, Delta walked right into the Palace and took the President and his wife?

None of that adds up unless there was already a plan in place for no resistance from the majority of Venezuelan defenses. It sounds like a few operators might have been shot and a helicopter also. Kind of sounds like a gunfight with his closest bodyguards.

Then today Trump is backing Rodriguez already to take over?

I think this was a plan between the VP (and probably plenty of other upper government members) and the Venezuelan military to give up Maduro and avoid any real direct conflict.
