Tensions in region started few months ago, so assets could be deployed already.

Also, my bet Maduro will still endure multiple months from now.

Nah. Chinese submarines aren't that quiet so if there were any in the area then the US Navy would have them localized already and there's no sign of that. And Chinese subs lack the persistence to stick around without support for long. The reality is there are zero Chinese subs anywhere near Venezuela.

Submarines needing support isn't theoretical.

[riku_iki]

Sure, there could be support ship in deep ocean.

[cosmicgadget]

Now who is speculating?

[riku_iki]

Support ships are not speculations.

You bet! I'm always happy to educate people who don't understand this stuff.

[riku_iki]

My opinion is that you are the one who doesn't understand this stuff.
