| | | Defenses turned off by insiders
Your cousins have no way of knowing how a complex system could have been “turned off” by insiders. Or how. Or who. Simplistic crap.
The statement does not pass the smell test. Actually, it does but it smells like rank male bovine manure.
Think about how enormous and coordinated an insiders action would have to be in order to ‘turn off’ defenses. Then consider the number of individuals who would have to be in on it. Easily dozens. Then consider what would happen if a leak occurred, which would be more than likely given the number of people necessary to create a successful insider's action.
Your cousins do not know crap. Being in the vicinity guarantees nothing.
No, your cousins are repeating bad hearsay (or Chinese propaganda) designed to suggest that the defenses were capable but manipulated. But they were not. The US took them out easily and swiftly, just like the Iranian nuke facilities, Suleimani, Nasrallah, etc., in coordination with another hugely competent military, Israel’s.
You might not like it, but we have a hugely competent, operationally-tested military. So what if we don’t do parades too well. Who cares. I’d rather have a soldier who is incredibly fit, can shoot straight, and can think on his feet, rather than an automaton who knows how to obey drill commands and shine his boots to perfection.
Here’s a good description of how it was likely done.

<<<<It would be an oversimplification to say that the foreign-supplied weapons were useless, but they were ultimately ineffective in fulfilling their most important political purpose: protecting the regime and its leadership from forcible removal.
The fact that American forces were able to penetrate deep into Caracas, fly through defenses, reach Maduro’s heavily guarded presidential compound, and extract him by helicopter, all in a few hours in the middle of the night, is the clearest possible measure of their failure in strategic terms.>>>
<<<<For the customers buying weaponry from Iran, Russia, and China, this event is yet another cautionary tale about how their exported systems are subpar when they come up against top-tier adversaries.>>> |
