Why it won't happen:
1. Though Maduro is as*le, Venezuela won't accept the invasion of the USA. If you look at the history, you can see, that venezuelans are the most haters of the USA
2. Russian and Chinese interests and investments. They will fight for their over 100bn investments in Venezuela.
3. Regional factor: Americas can't accept invasion of Venezuela as it may start the domino effect. Americas are not the same as 50 years ago. Again with the support of Russia and China.

@Carpe-Diem See your point. What about a Trump-Putin quid pro quo? And if that, bring also China to the table. If Trump is "allowed" to do this kind of stuff with Venezuela or Americas, why not Putin with Ukraine and EU and Xi with Taiwan and Asia? Not sure then about the support of Russia and China.
Let's cross fingers that this all will not be the case. Hope for the best.

@finanzperpetuum I see your point. IMHO Americas ≠ Ukraine + Taiwan. According to Russian official sources, only Russia has 100bn interests (50bn loan) in Venezuela. China may have even more interests and direct/indirect investments, as they need oil than Russia. It is a guarantee for the Chinese economy. I am not sure if they both would leave the region so easily. Another point is the reputation of the Russian and Chinese military industry, strategic support and role of intelligent services in defense of Venezuela. Well, very strange situation indeed. I assume it is a win-win agreement of Putin-Trump to remove Maduro and Zelenskiy for clearing up the road. Meanwhile, Trump tries to gain more reputation points, while Putin didn't say anything.
