Cui Shoujun, a professor at the School of International Relations at Renmin University of China, believes that America's strength undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage over Venezuela. Although Venezuela has 140,000 regular armies and 4.5 million militias, due to long-term sanctions, military weapons are aging, parts are out of supply, equipment is generally poor, and combat capability is limited. Since August of last year, the US military has continued to “fight drugs” in the Caribbean. Destroyers, aircraft carriers, and nuclear submarines have appeared one after another. “Warm water boiled frogs” attacks have blunted Venezuela's defensive nerves and raised the alarm threshold for the Commission. “There are serious divisions within Venezuela, and personnel in key positions are being countered by US intelligence services.” Cui Shoujun said that according to media reports, the US intelligence services successfully countered middle- and lower-level military officers in the presidential guard battalion using the temptation of “bonus+amnession+green card” to facilitate the arrest of Maduro. Cui Shoujun said that the current direct arrest of a Latin American president by the United States is the first case since the Cold War. As a result, Latin American countries' trust deficit in the US widened dramatically, and anti-American sentiment in the region grew. Major Latin American countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile all publicly opposed US intervention in Venezuela, and generally viewed Trump's approach as a forced return to the “backyard era.” Many Latin American countries have jointly submitted a draft “condemning unilateral military action” to the United Nations General Assembly, seeking confirmation of the “immunity of the head of state” through a General Assembly resolution.
