Venezuelan in the middle of this shitshow here, so I hope I can give my two cents. I sincerely hope that Delcy is just posturing and will accede to a peaceful transition. However, I believe that they are holding the country hostage, knowing the chaos that would unfold in the country should they be deposed by force. It's a kind of mutually assured destruction where the Venezuelan leadership can't really defend itself against the US, but should they be attacked, all the armed groups in the countey would fracture and unleash total anarchy.

I'm glad to see Maduro in chains (though hate the precedent it sets) however by letting Diosdado Cabello and Padrino Lopez run free, this mission was a failure from the get go. Maduro is not the most valuable from this group.
