The most frustrating thing about this nonsense in the Caribbean is that the West is engaged in a conflict already. Against Russia. Every munition, dropped on random Venezuelan fishermen, is a munition that could have gone into a Russian position.
It would also mean more destabilization, you broke it, you own it. Having another Iraq closer to home would not be that fun for the US.
