Does Venezuela have no army at all?

They didn't do it in hours. This took months of staging planning and expense.

The number of traitors in Venezuela that must exist for this to have been prepared is staggering.

I don't think you need that many traitors. It's military planning and set up. See Israel's build up to the attacks within Iran.

While we're on the subject, they probably swapped notes with Israel for this sort of thing

Not necessarily just notes; apparently Israel has been involved in South America for decades, sometimes outright supporting the dictatorships in power in the past (possibly even present).

The Israeli ambassador held a meeting sitting side-by-side with Bolsonaro months after his coup attempt. Then they denied having ever invited him.

Not suspicious in any way.

Yes, absolutely this. I’m sure the CIA has had operatives on the ground in Venezuela for months if not years at this point. Maduro probably couldn’t fart without the US intelligence apparatus hearing it.
