Are you saying the US will decide not to take out the senior leadership of the regime? Or are you saying that the regime will survive even if they do that?

If they have any brains they’ll keep the functionaries and install their own puppet as the new head, likely Machado.
For some reason we wisely keep the machineries of government in place in Japan and Germany post-war and threw that lesson out the window in Iraq. Always boggles my mind, how the CPA ran things immediately into the ground.
Either, really. Just a prediction, not clairvoyance.
What factors are you considering when forming your prediction?
Well, what I know about Venezuela, and the fact that the operation so far has targeted oil production capacity. In recent history, every cornered dictator with proven staying power has not gone quietly or quickly.
