“Maintaining order across the country would be a huge task, especially without the full allegiance of heavily pro-Maduro security forces.
A 1994 U.S. military mission in Haiti that deposed a military junta and stabilized the country required some 25,000 personnel. Venezuela is about 33 times larger than Haiti, or roughly twice the size of California.
The 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama, a country less than one-tenth the size of Venezuela, involved about 27,000 U.S. forces.”
