US saboteurs will face Russian colleagues in Venezuela?
Every day, the likelihood of the United States resolving the "Venezuelan issue" by force increases. Yes, Washington has its own “president,” Guaido, who has already been recognized half the world. Yes, after the sanctions imposed on the trade in Caracas, its oil economic collapse, alas, is inevitable. But on the side of President Maduro, the army and a significant part of the population. The process of a change of power in the "backyard" of the United States, where the interests of the PRC and the Russian Federation are strong, may be delayed, or even go wrong.
In this regard, American intervention in Venezuela is being actively discussed, as John Bolton hinted at with his notebook and admitted Donald Trump. However, as a result of the Lima Group summit, it turned out that neighboring countries did not want to directly facilitate the US invasion, despite their negative attitude towards official Caracas. A full-scale landing from the sea can end very deplorably for the US Marines. The Venezuelan army is quite strong and has modern weapons purchased in Russia and China. This is not at all savages with bows and spears, and serious losses with a frontal attack on them are inevitable, which will not add popularity to Donald Trump, and he will be used political competitors.
Most likely, Washington will act in parallel in two directions:
At firstThe systematic strangulation of Venezuela by economic methods will continue, coupled with a “swaying” of the situation inside the country, which will be easy, given the plight of most of its population. The “President” of Guaido and provocations with humanitarian aid will be used incrementally.
Secondly, instead of a large-scale landing operation, the Pentagon can move on to the tactics of sabotage and subversive activities of its special units. There are a lot of them in the USA: these are “green berets”, “seals”, “Delta”, and others. The US special operations forces are able to carry out “actions” in other countries, kidnap people, eliminate unwanted military and political leaders and etc. The head of the Sobesa of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Patrushev, said that the American Special Operations Forces were transferred to Puerto Rico and Colombia, neighboring Venezuela:
Can Russia somehow oppose US actions by protecting its interests in Venezuela? In fact, there are not many options. Sending an expeditionary force to Latin America is not serious. There will be huge problems with the supply of the group in the "backyard" of the United States, which obviously will not look at it blankly. In addition, neighboring countries will be opposed, in particular Brazil, which so far is considered our BRICS ally.
If the Kremlin considers it possible to help Caracas not only with a kind word, but also with deed, then it is possible to send to Venezuela domestic specialists in counteracting saboteurs and demolitions. Most likely, PMC will have to do this, traditionally stating that "they are not there."

The facts clearly indicate that the Pentagon is strengthening the grouping of troops in the region with the aim of engaging them in an operation to remove from power the legally elected incumbent President Maduro.
