Just remember the go-to Neo-Con creed: “It’s in our national security interests.” A phrase once uttered justifies intervention anywhere at anytime. It’s more popular than “Peace through Strength”. If corporate interests can justify being in the Middle East, then justifying South America is a slam dunk in their eyes.

” I won’t say that Brazil has a overwhelming military, but it wouldn’t take more than 5k Army folks and some light Air Force support to hinder any invasion that Venezuela was considering.”

You’re right. YouTube pulled videos of the noodle-arm Venezuelan troops taking fire from lightly armed anti-Madero guerillas and scattering like mice.
