Day-After Plans For Venezuela
- The Trump White House is quietly drafting detailed "day-after" plans for multiple collapse scenarios of the Maduro regime.
- Planners aim to secure institutions, restore the economy, and avoid Iraq-style mistakes without public fanfare.
Military Posture Doubles As Contingency Tool

- The administration admits diplomatic exit is unlikely, prompting intensified contingency planning.
Opposition Plans May Clash With U.S. Options
