Maybe the whole attempt is to bully the current government into giving the Venezuelan/Cuban faction in the US government exactly what they want. They want an entry into the society, and to open it up, maybe among other things.

With this USA is essentially saying that "see I can just walk into your home and no one will stop me, so better do as I say".

I will be surprised if USA tries to land ground troops into that country. Running the country, I suspect, will be extremely ugly for USA. OTOH, if they can just coerce the existing government into giving them exactly what they want, then it would certainly be mission accomplished.

It's all a huge gamble, and will depend on how obstinate the Venezuelan setup is.
