Disclaimer: I’ve taken sh’t for not supporting this intervention—no President has the authority to initiate war without a Congressional vote—but a point needs to be made to those shouting “propaganda.”

JUST THE FACTS WE KNOW:

Both China and Russia gave Venezuela some of their top-end defense systems.

Russia provided their S-300VM ground to air missile system. One of Russia’s most advanced anti-aircraft platforms.

China provided Venezuela with their JY-27A “Stealth Hunter” radar system. This is their top-of-the-line platform which they sell under the boast that it can allegedly track the U.S.’ most advanced F-35 & F-22 stealth fighters.

Both gave Venezuela tons of this gear, as it was going to be their big test to show off Chinese and Russian hardware, that could supposedly challenge U.S. air superiority.

Every single one of them failed.

Every. Single. One.

U.S. fighter jets took out every Russian S-300VM, and every Chinese JY-27A, before they even knew the fight had started. Not a one even launched a strike before they were blown up.

I have no idea if the account given by the OP is an accurate portrayal of the ground battle, but we know the above for a fact, and we also know that Delta Force slipped into hostile territory, captured and extracted Maduro, their head of state, and slipped right back out again without losing a single soldier or a single piece of hardware, and nobody was able to touch them.

Don’t kid yourself: There is great unease in Beijing right now. China is sh&tting their pants.
