>>513955387The irony is the CIA and their backed forces were winning. It was retards who panicked and sent in the grunts. Had they just left the CIA (and MI6 but shhhh) to continue their shit, Vietnam wouldn't have needed to be invaded. The whole 'domino' thing was funny because while 'Nam fell to Gommunism, nobody else did (bar Laos but fuck Laos) because they got so scared that the USA would come and bomb them to shit, it wasn't worth it. But 'Nam didn't need boots on the ground anyway.
Additionally, it's not the 1960's now, it's 2025 and most nations have luxuries of some sort (internet, cooling, heating etc) and don't want that to go away, which would if USA invaded. The more you have, the more you can lose, the more people don't want it to go away. So, Venezuela would, as you say, not be 'built' for a long term insurgency simply because the majority won't want their luxuries to go away and want the return to the status quo. Of course, those people already use to quasi-insurgency (cartels et al) are going to shrug and there will always be a trickle going to them for money but still.
Regardless, nothing ever happens so I dunno why people care.
