Venezuelan President Nicolas Madurosays two American "mercenaries" have been apprehended after a failed coup attempt launched over the weekend.

In a live address on state television late Monday, Maduro brandished what he claimed were the US passports and drivers licenses of the two men, along with what he said were their ID cards for Silvercorp, a Florida-based security services company.
...
The CEO of Silvercorp, Jordan Goudreau, told the Washington Post that two Americans acting within a larger force were captured Monday, along with six Venezuelans, after launching an operation to infiltrate Venezuela. Goudreau said other members of what he called "Operation Gideon" were captured or killed on Sunday.

Goudreau identified the Americans as Airan Berry and Luke Denman, whose names match those on the Silvercorp IDs displayed by Maduro. Goudreau, a former US Army Green Beret, said the two men were fellow former Special Forces members like himself.

The U.S. has been wanting a coup there for years, and Trump desperately needs a distraction from his pandemic response failings.

This is the shit the US has been doing in south american for decades. It's why places like Venezuela won't allow American aid convoys in. We've been known to smuggle in "security contractors" with said convoys.

Pretty much this.

The population doesn't have the same cultural and religious problems that occupying ME countries have. I'd imagine western nations would be more pliable.
