That’s basically the description of every revolution in history isn’t it? I mean that’s how Castro started, Mao, and more. The question is did they have ties to the US government or were they hired guns who watched The Wild Geese a few to many times.
I want more info is what I am saying. Meduro isn’t exactly on a strong footing and like many despots he needs enemies in every shadow to keep his power base. Trumping up charges on a couple of Americans in the wrong place and wrong time isn’t above such. I get some want it to be true sounds romantic a bit James Bond ish but do we have proof or just pronouncements?
Key difference being Mao and Castro and all the others did that in the OWN countries.
Patriots have never shied away from fighting, and if needed, dying for the betterment of their homelands, but it’s a very different story to go to a foreign country to fight without back up or support against impossible odds. There are quicker and less painful ways of commuting suicide.
It’s also a bit much to suggest a couple of ex-Special Forces operators just happened to ‘be in the wrong place and wrong time’ in a country the US government had put travel advisories against, in the middle of a global pandemic.
Unless those guys are on the one and only famed ‘boating’ trips with all their guns, ammo and tactical gear gun-culture America loves to joke about, and got caught in a freak gust that blew them all the way from Miami to Venezuela, and washed ashore just as a bunch of other unrelated armed guys get raided by Venezuelan security forces...
