Jones draws a historical parallel between the Venezuelan raid and the German invasion of France, where much of the opposition was allegedly bought off before the fighting began. He argues that the Venezuelan military's "stand-down" on Saturday morning was likely the result of similar pre-arranged deals. The primary resistance came from Maduro's "Praetorian Guard" of Cuban intelligence officers who refused to let him leave.
