Nah, the Allende case won't happen because Venezuela had a lot of military purges throughout the years to the point that the WSJ lamented that Venezuela is Coup-Proof -> https://archive.ph/IfL1n

The only military left are strongly ideological aligned with the leadership and anti imperialist to the point that the show it proudly:

This time it will be different. If the US invades, it will be the death of their empire.

I really hope you're right and Venezuela can withstand the onslaught. I'm worried that the US is basically planning to do what they did in Iraq and raze a chunk of the country to the ground.

I really hope Iran's drones make an impact in case of a US invasion or bombardment.

Exactly. It was very important that Chavez was a military officer. They did very important things to strengthen their power, one of them was purging reactionary elements from the armed forces. The other was creating a militia from popular elements, which can be quickly drafted and can support the government in case of need.
