Venezuela’s secret strategy to combat American invasion revealed as wild ‘anarchy’ plot emerges

Venezuela is reportedly preparing for an American invasion following a series of threats from President Trump.

The president announced on Saturday that the country’s airspace was closed, raising fears of conflict.

According to sources, the South American country reportedly has two plans to fight against the American occupation; but one of them is kept secret by Venezuelan authorities.

Venezuela’s military capabilities pale in comparison to those of the United States. According to the most recent Global Firepower Index, the United States is at the top, while Venezuela is ranked 50th.

According to sources and planning documents he has seen, Venezuela will have difficulty responding to an attack from the United States and will likely turn to guerrilla-style resistance. Reuters.

The defensive tactic had been openly mentioned before, but the authorities have not yet accepted the second strategy, called ‘anarchization’.

Anarchization refers to deliberate chaos orchestrated by intelligence agents and armed supporters of the ruling party to make it impossible for foreign powers to control the capital, Carcas.

Sources told Reuters that this plot would make Venezuela ‘ungovernable’.

Since 2013, Venezuela has been under the rule of Nicolás Maduro, whom Secretary of State Marco Rubio described as an illegitimate president.

A source close to the Venezuelan government previously told the publication that they “couldn’t last two hours in a conventional war” with the US.

‘We are not ready to face one of the most powerful and well-trained armies in the world,’ another source said Reuters earlier this month.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, in power since 2013, followed in the footsteps of his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, by appointing officers to senior government posts and cultivating a strong military loyalty.

The United States has condemned Maduro’s corrupt rule, citing the president’s election victory in 2024, despite evidence that his opposition has more votes.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently called Maduro an illegitimate president by naming the Cartel de Los Soles a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Cartel de Los Soles is a group of high-level individuals who follow Maduro and corrupt the country’s military, intelligence, legislature and judiciary, including encouraging terrorist violence and drug trafficking, Rubio said.

Tensions between Venezuela and the US have risen in recent months as the Trump administration launched a crusade to defeat ‘narco-terrorists’ transporting drugs in international waters.

According to the Washington Post, current and former officials at the Pentagon estimate that more than 80 people died in the deadly campaign against suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers; These include 11 people who were on a boat that was hit by a US missile attack in September.

Maduro has developed a strong military loyalty by appointing officers to senior government positions.

On Friday, the Post reported that two sources with direct knowledge of the operation said U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth instructed intelligence analysts monitoring the boat to “kill everyone” on board on Sept. 2.

Hegseth further emphasized the deadly order in a statement later the same day, saying that the administration planned to kill “narco-terrorists” who were poisoning the American people.

The US has increased its military presence in the Caribbean and Puerto Rico as officials warned of a ‘new phase’.

On Saturday morning, Trump announced on Truth Social that airspace over Venezuela would be completely closed.

The administration has focused its efforts on combating drug trafficking but has acknowledged that regime change could be a result of this mission.

Venezuela’s foreign minister described the directive to close the airspace as a ‘colonial threat’, adding that it was an ‘exaggerated, illegal and unjust attack on the Venezuelan people’.

The United States has launched military attacks on Venezuelan ships in international waters in recent months, killing nearly 80 people.

Trump announced in September that the US killed 11 “narcotic terrorists” by attacking a ship.

The president also described the military expansion to troops in a phone call he reportedly made on Thanksgiving Day, suggesting the operations could escalate to ground attacks.

‘In recent weeks, you have been working to deter the large number of Venezuelan drug traffickers. “Of course, there are not many people coming by sea anymore,” he said.

Trump added that it was “easier” to catch potential drug traffickers on the ground and that it would start “very soon.”

‘We warn them: Stop sending poison to our country,’ he added.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that he supports the US decision to increase ground operations and said: CNN: ‘I greatly appreciate and respect President Trump’s determination to combat the drug caliphate countries that live in our backyard, including Venezuela.’

Last week, Navy ships were seen getting closer and closer to the South American country.

The new wave of deployments began with the arrival of the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group in August. In October, the US announced that the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the 1,106ft USS Gerald R Ford, would also join the mission.

Although nothing is finalized yet, the two leaders reportedly spoke on the phone last week and discussed plans for the meeting.

The carrier arrived in Caribbean waters on November 11 with more than four thousand sailors, fighter aircraft and support ships, including USS Thomas Hudner, USS Rampage and USS Normandy.

The Pentagon calls the presence of more than 15,000 troops in the region ‘Operation Southern Lance’.

Meanwhile, in Venezuela, Maduro said eight million civilians were receiving militia training.

But the army’s equipment is decades old, and most of it was purchased from Russia in the early 2000s.

However, military tensions can be reduced diplomatically. The New York Times reported Friday that multiple sources confirmed a phone call between Trump and Maduro took place last week.
