Most importantly I don't think the American public has the stomach for committing actual troops or (gasp) money and standard-of-living toward a war with Venezuela. It is easy to complain on social media about the scary Communists, but I doubt those Americans are willing to sacrifice for that belief. The US is therefore limited to hYbRiD wArFaRe that is dubiously effective in the end, although certainly destructive and cruel in the short- to medium-term.

The only reason the American public gave up anything under Bush was , and even that wore off by the end of his second term.
