Your analysis sends solid. It will be chaos after Maduro but that is irrelevant to the neocons. Like Qaddafi and Sadaam, Maduro is a foe of Israel. That will end when he is toppled and will teach a lesson to the rest of Latin America. That is why Arab leaders don't get too uppity these days.

It gets worst. Acording to a confidential course inside the government, Venezuela has by now, a military force with 350.000 soldiers plus 100.000 who they reserve for rotation and millions of militia with diferen levels of training, but armed.

Don't forget that a missile can be sent from Cuba too. They already said that they will defend Venezuela if it is attacked.

One key question is whether Venezuela has high quality bunkers for protecting Maduro or not. Additionally, whether the counterintelligence is good enough to keep his location secret.

I looked on a map and Venezuela seems to have mountains right next to Caracas. I think a bunker there with many exit routes built into the mountain could be pretty tough to bust.

The quality of bunkers seems to have been decisive in protecting Iran, where most of the leadership and the nuclear facilities have been well-protected. On the other hand, Hezbollah's urban bunkers proved to be woefully inadequate.

I also think that if Venezuela can get any hypersonic missiles capable of hitting Miami, then that could be an incredible deterrent. Netanyahu's son lives in Miami, along with a lot of other top zionists. Miami probably doesn't have any missile shelter systems. The distance from Venezuela to Miami is 2000 km, about as far as the path from central Iran to Tel Aviv.
