I guess if it were for real, we'd have to talk with them if for no other reason than to gather intelligence in order to draft assessments for success/failure and project what could become of such a thing.
In reality they would need our blessing, not necessarily direct support. Their best option would be to get support from Columbia and/or Brazil.
The current government of Venezuela is not friendly. They are not enemies either. It's more of a situation where we know this fucked up regime has to go one way or another and we just need to monitor how that happens.
I don't think the Columbians will trust the Venezuelan military that much, and honestly, the military is basically the force behind this regime, so it's probably a bullshit story in my opinion. Maybe there is a grain of truth there, but I don't seriously think the military will be the ones to fix it. If anything, they would just want to make their control more explicit.
Their military is totally communist and gangster now. They managed to purge the good officers a long time ago. We are talking about the people who helped fund and support FARC for all those decades. These are evil men.
