Official warning level: Venezuela is at Level 4: Do Not Travel, the highest level. Americans are strongly advised not to travel there and to leave immediately if already in the country. Risks listed: Wrongful detention, torture in detention, kidnapping, terrorism, violent crime, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, civil unrest, and very poor health infrastructure. No real help from the U.S. government: The U.S. withdrew its embassy staff from Caracas in 2019 and consular operations are suspended, so the U.S. cannot provide emergency services, evacuations, or even replace lost passports for citizens in Venezuela. After the recent attack: The situation is described as “fluid” and extremely risky, with reports of explosions, airstrikes, flight disruptions, and no commercial flights in or out, which makes leaving very difficult.

For the same reason why the butter melts, I love you out of habit.
