they were NOT asleep at the wheel, how is this narrative still going on?
The oppositon gov struck some kind of deal with the second in command OF THE MILITARY not the country and possible the Secretary of Defense himself, its unclear. If yall read your political theory something ALL schools of though agree on is no coup, either foreign or domestic will long succeeded without the backing of said states military.
It was a NEGOTIATED "hand over" not a clandestine kidnapping. We landed and maduro and his wife "willingly" walked aboard.
This is why the Helicopter squadron was flying so low and why you dident even seen small arms fire. There was a total military standown order FROM THE VENEZUELAN SIDE
So praise our military all you want, this was a DIPLOMATIC win, Rubio prolly was up NIGHTS getting this thing sorted, its no less impressive so I just want to make the distinction.
also clearly some of the units disobeyed the stand down or were marked for elimination regardless its hard to say, its possible we fired in cold blood to enure no retaliation for a one day possible hostile gov.
