I think there is a bit of misunderstanding how the US operates. People see a strike on Venezuela and extrapolate what country next, countries the US might have some disagreement, like Brazil. The US has a number of enemies. An enemy they define as a non-client regime that deliberately chooses to oppose the US in key issues (both in their domestic and foreign policies). There are the big ones, like Tschainuh and Russia. And some smaller one like Iran, North Korea, Venezuela. And the Arch Nemesis: Cuba. There might be others in Africa, I mentioned previously I need to look this up. Brazil is still a client state. Sure they have some disagreement with the Trump administration, but their situation is far from Venezuela. I think the same went for Hungary under the Biden admin, when our govt. vocally disagreed with Washington on a number of issues such as Ukraine. However prior to that it not felt that we are a client of the USA, today it feels very much so. And in those years here there were people - fanboys of the opposition whoever was the opposition at the time - who hoped the US will intervene here somehow, like support a color-type of revolution and overthrow the Orbán govt. They never did. One could suggest Orbán overthrew the US govt. and installed his puppet, Trump...:^) Venezuela seems like a bit of outlier compared to the rest of the enemies. The kidnapping of Maduro sounds more like "jettisoning the president" type of client maintenance intervention described here: >>/54270/ than anything they do in case of hostile interventions. It's very much comparable to the case of Panama/Noriega in 1990 (January 3rd). And the voices following this situation suggest that even if the following government won't be from the opposition, so they keep the current gang of oligarchs, they will very much so cooperate with the US in the fashion of a client. The US creates clients with the method called "switching" noted here: >>/54236/ and the example mentioned there is the overthrow of Mosaddegh in Iran in 1953, by the CIA and the help of the UK. In Venezuela seemingly there wasn't a coup. But what if there were cooperating factions within the regime to remove Maduro, essentially they couped him and helped the US to extract him. Removing a symbol of resistance towards the US, not they can change their policies working with the US instead.
