Well they just captured Maduro and flew him out of the country, so yes the regime quite literally did just fall minutes after you created your throwaway account to post this.

The regime isn’t the President in this case. It’s the ruling party and its institutions.
The power stays in Maduros party and just goes To the VP. It’s anyone’s guess what happens next - but nothing changing is a relatively easy bet.
Pay attention to who is generating the wrong predictions, and what their other opinions are on tangential questions.
It's a game of probabilities. Even if it does turn out fine, similar things in recent history have turned out very poorly*. But to be honest, I hate Maduro anyway, so I'd be happy for this to turn out well.

> assassinations of militia leaders leading to peace
The purpose of the assassinations is security, not peace. Peace is a bilateral process and it does confer security, but if it's not on the table then you can't force the issue unilaterally.

Yes. And some russian sources seem very understanding of the situation. I strongly believe Trump made a Deal with Putin. South america belongs to him. Putin can have europe.
Otherwise there would have been american aircraft shot down with russian tech. Or really any kind of support except empty words.
> Otherwise there would have been american aircraft shot down with russian tech
Yes, because as we all know Russian military technology is completely on par with that of the United States.
What technology prevents a american helicopter from being shot down by a russian anti aircraft missile?
The open question is rather, if the S-500 system can beat the F35 stealth capabilities (nobody know that as far as I know as it was never tried). Not that russians systems are useless against ordinary planes and helicopters.

Same Russian tech that protected Iranian airspace? ;)
They did not had the most modern russian systems, but older versions. And what they had, was taken out by special forces on the ground. That would not have been necessary, if the F35 would be really invisible.

Putin can have Europe? You mean that country 10x poorer compared with EU will somehow take Europe? Country that's stuck in a war with the poorest european country for years?
No, I don't mean that. That the deal between Trump and Putin might have been of sphere of interest. With Trump not interested in europe. Does not mean, that Putin will succeed. But unfortunately it is not out of the question as europe is not united. Some parts of germany for example voted 40% for a russian friendly party. Hungary is pretty much over the fence already. Etc. If they unite under Putin's leadership, things might look dark.
