If you remove the deputations, RAW is a IPS led cadre.
And in any scenario, if it's between an IPS or Lt., i would always choose the Lt.

It's only the Chinese know what are the doing, do they still believe in economic power & diplomacy will give them edge over USA i don't know, in the longer run for sure, but economic power needs muscle power which the USA has been continuously showing it,
China lost it's biggest foothold in Latin America, they lost the access to resources of Venezuela, regional power blocks Will don't see china as true Ally, as they have failed to protect them, but in a honest word Iran & Venezuela were Just business partners, taiwan is a gone case and nobody understands this better than us, it's Just matter of time for the Chinese to invade it, one thing is that they are getting cornered in middle East & Latin America, can produce the number of bird's we want or deploy number of ship we want,
But it's good for us that Chinese aren't doing anything and Thier allied countries are getting picked up, which will delay the confrontation of china vs India, chinese won't be to be eager to fight with us from the current situation, time is what all we needed, if our babus politicians armed forces doesn't mess it up, and all the projects goes as it is planned, then we are off limits, we can rain showers of missiles to protect and attack, we can induct & deploy the number of birds & ships we want,
The best for us would be USA & china getting engaged in the conflicts, USA in Latin America or middle East, china in South China sea
One thing that is certain is that there's nothing for people of Venezuela,
Who will be running the country nobody knows, will the US companies gonna negotiate with Venezuela for favourable deal nobody knows, will the Venezuela have control over the natural resources nobody can tell that,
The current US adminstrations see's Venezuela as colonial State whose national resources are us properties, and the companies will don't give a damn about the Venezuela public,
Nobody knows who's going to run the country, but we do know it's not Machado, Will the people gonna support the new puppet leader?
The current adminstration have started declaring Venezuela has 51 state, it can turn into a better State it can turn into worse, there's both possibilities,
The oil cartels of gluf are going to start to loose the money, once the oil get's drilled out, it's only the USA who will be going to decide the market prices, the biggest producer,
The Russians already started have showing concerns,
I see, well RAW has had its failures but it has had its successes. IB is also IPS led and successfully fooled the CIA and its $1 billion Lacrosse satellites during Pokhran 2, and RAW did sever a part of Pakistan in 1971. So can we make over arching assumptions that RAW is inferior to DIA solely because it's run by IPS people? What of the special capabilities RAW has built over decades whether it be ARC, RRC etc which have played crucial roles in intelligence gathering? DIA does not have such specialized technical intelligence gathering capability afaik or experience using them. Nor does DIA have the decades of experience RAW (and even IB) has in covert ops, which it has demonstrated as far as Fiji and Canada (infact during the 1980s and 1990s according to the book RAW by Yaatish Yadav, the IPS dominated IB was the one leading intelligence ops against Khalistanis even in Canada).
Intelligence failures are catastrophic and even the best of the best like CIA (9/11) and Mossad (October 7th) have had to face such catastrophic events. So is it fair to judge RAW simply because it's run by IPS people? Perhaps according to your logic we need to disband NIA, IB also and make military handle internal intelligence as well!
The funniest thing would be if iran somehow get's nuke by hook or crook, or someone passes it to them,
The entire middle East Will be in chaos and the entire USA plan will start to crumble,
That would be some event to see

Anyone can make a bomb. Making it deliverable is another issue. From bomb to miniaturization for delivery by missile takes well over 1 year likely even more for a country like Iran, within which they will get royally screwed.
We have covert special ops who have engaged already in many operations many of which we will never know about (one of which was the extraction of a politician from Bangladesh during the 1980s who later proved to be a huge help to us). We have the intelligence capabilities for covert action the problem is what of the will to use them. Now we have the political support and the will.
In the past there was no unified Armed forces led intelligence agency. But now we do have it.
And I still believe that DIA should be the lead agency.
I think because the civilian government is afraid of DIA becoming the ISI of India and interfering into running the country, they are trying there best to focus on IPS led organisations which they can control.
Rules based international order took a break today.
This was a deal brokered handover. Maduro was holed in a fortified complex when the party started.
His key people were cultivated over the last few months into selling him out. The choice was a standoff which would ruin the country’s infra and flatten their armed forces or a deal that let them walk away with cash.

Whenever USoA does something, every apparatus and bodies gets reminded - who’s the big daddy and every one stays tight lipped.
In addition to medium range Buk SAMs, Venezuela had a couple of S-300VMs in its inventory that were reportedly destroyed.

An autopsy of Venezuela’s $2 billion Russian S-300VM missile system
Venezuela purchased Russia's S-300VM air defense system because it was supposed to be an impenetrable umbrella. It was full of holes.

now it will be more urgent for them to test a bomb or accept a take over.
Not necessary, there is some thing called dirty bomb. Nuke is all about threat and the damage it may cause, that is the deterrent.
The USS Ford CBG was parked in the Caribbean for months to pressurize the Maduro govt into surrendering.
brother have you done any research on this topic? like any at all?

Why is Donald Trump so interested in Venezuela's oil?
The US is the world's biggest oil producer by a country mile - but that's light crude oil, meaning it is still totally dependent on trade to meet its demands for heavy oil. And that brings us to Venezuela.

I don't understand why are people comparing this to Operation Sindoor? This was hardly a conflict between two parties but more like a negotiation. USA has yet to attack a Nuclear Armed State. I would have compared it if USA was bombing Russia not some weak country like Venezuela.
I'm curious how long this democracy will last. They tried doing that in Iran back in the days for it to devolve into what we see today. I'm curious how USA would prevent another Chavez like figure from rising
