If it was strictly a decapitation attack there probably wouldn't be multiple sites involved. They're claiming four states were targeted.

you dont send the choppers in until the air defence is neutered. What do you think a few dozen specaial forces are doing in Caracas?

I’ve seen videos of what are clearly MH-47s over Caracas.

Presumably there are SF and/or airborne units executing coordinated strikes on the ground right now. Most likely the 160th, as they were deployed there last I checked.

I don't presume to say, other than there can be a lot of possible missions other than decapitation. Their army has ~120K and they've been expecting stuff to go down for months. This "deal with a general" you're suggesting is very hand-wavey.
