Ask Lemmygrad

I'm assuming this is asked in good faith out of curiosity, but I don't like how it is phrased. It implies that it was easy to do for the US, which is not, as far as I'm aware, proven. It could have taken them months or years of probing, infiltration, and regional military preparation to get to the point where they could do this. I also don't like how some people are replying as if it definitely was easy and they have the answer for why. The US power base is not god (in spite of it liking to act like it is) and given how much and often it has couped countries over decades, if it was easy for them to coup Venezuela, they would have done so long ago. This terrorist's act of kidnapping the president looks more like desperation to me than a show of strength. Don't give them credit for strength they are not proven to have.
