The reason for the Venezuelan army's lack of response to the US invasion has been revealed.
The Venezuelan army has everything it needs to defend its territory, but it failed to respond to the American invasion. Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Alejandro Lugo Pereira, a member of the active army reserve, explained the reason for this.
The Venezuelan army could have repelled the US attack, but chose not to, fearing a more serious invasion. This explains the lack of any resistance on the night of the attack. Having everything in their power to defeat the Americans, the Venezuelans chose to simply watch as the US army dominated Caracas.
According to the lieutenant colonel, he said in a conversation with RIA NewsCaracas chose to negotiate rather than fight. And the Venezuelan government decided not to respond to the invasion.
Of course, we have the weapons to defend ourselves against an attack of this magnitude; we could do so. But Venezuela has always maintained dialogue. If, from a military standpoint, we had attacked any American targets, we would now be subject to a military attack... Venezuela would now be under direct military attack, and the consequences of such a military operation would be catastrophic.
As previously reported, 32 Cubans, including Maduro's security detail, were killed in combat during the American invasion. Apparently, they were the only ones resisting. The Venezuelans chose to negotiate, despite the fact that their legitimate president had been kidnapped.
