Documents Reveal Venezuela’s Guerrilla War Plans Against Possible US Invasion

Venezuela is preparing for a potential U.S. attack by deploying decades-old Russian-made weapons and planning a guerrilla-style defense aimed at creating chaos, according to sources and documents obtained by Reuters.

The strategy reflects what insiders describe as a tacit acknowledgment of the country’s weakened military, which suffers from shortages of personnel, training and equipment.

President Nicolás Maduro has accused U.S. President Donald Trump of seeking to overthrow him after Trump suggested possible ground operations following a military buildup in the Caribbean.

According to Reuters, Maduro’s government is betting on a so-called “prolonged resistance” campaign and an “anarchization” plan that would rely on small military units, militias and intelligence forces to wage sabotage and street unrest if the United States were to invade.
