Yes but without boots on the ground
…that you know of.
Same as it ever was.
If the headline is trying to ask if Venezuela is going to be America's next Vietnam or Iraq or even Afganistan, the answer is "no."
Well, we don't have US Army infantry... but remember that former Green Beret captured in Venezuela in 2020 trying to perform a coup, who then said he was working for the CIA?
