The first thing they would do is tomahawk the hell out of all the Venezuelan air bases, command and control and radar stations. That would be the first wave. I don't think a second wave would be necessary. The USA has a fairly mechanical and ruthless approach to these matters, right after that first wave they would send predators to try to hunt down Maduro. I wouldn't want to be close to Fuerte Tiuna or the Cuban embassy, which I'm sure they'll bomb "by mistake".
