There is talk of possible US military intervention in Venezuela. Whether right or wrong, what's Venezuela's military capabilities if we made a move? Obviously we'd shut them down quickly, but at what loss?

I have no interest in sending our troops there.

Stupidity: doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results......

Yes I don't agree with risking American lives there, but a few drones and airstrikes would probably do the job. Plus a CIA hit team.......

Not a question of what should we do or whether it's right or wrong, but what's their military capabilities? How does Venezuela stack up against the US if a battle were to ensue? That's all I'm asking.

Well, since the US totally screwed up the 'coup' ~ then I guess they will drop bombs if they have to in order to get their way.
Not the first time and certainly won't be the last.

They would be "defeated" within a week.

But expect unrest for years, if not decades, after that.
