Basically boils down to:

1. US has very lethal force, that can do targeted attacks/kidnapping.
2. All out invasion is not feasible for USA (check Afg, Iraq, VIetnam)
3. It’s not a coup by his VP, that’s preposterous
4. Revolution still continues
5. Material support offered by Russia and China is not enough
6. Maduro called for diplomacy before, that’s still the official position
7. In the article they discuss the parallel between Russia and Germany during WW1, the same thing is emphasized in this article too.

In 1918, Lenin and the Bolsheviks famously signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ceding vast territories to imperialist Germany to save the infant Soviet Republic from annihilation. He was accused of selling out the revolution by the “left communists” in his party, but he compared such a compromise to that of giving up your wallet to an “armed bandit” in exchange for your life. This concession led to the breakup of the alliance with the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries who accused him of “treason.” The Left Socialist-Revolutionaries took up an armed struggle against the Bolshevik government, including an assassination attempt on Lenin as a “traitor to the revolution” that left him badly wounded in September 1918. Two months later, Germany surrendered and the Soviet Republic regained all the territory lost at Brest-Litovsk.

Venezuela facing the same situation. Retreat today to advance tomorrow. (Offer big shares of PSUV to US finance)

This kidnapping happened due to failed regime change, and US fragility to do ground invasion

As a tangent, I also heard USA tried to do naval blockade, but Venezuela circumvented it with the help of Russia. Blockade was not effective. (Again this is not mentioned in the article)
