Caracas residents watched with curiosity rather than fear, contrasting sharply with January's bombing campaign that killed nearly 100 people including 32 Cuban agents.

Dramatic shift from adversarial to cooperative US-Venezuela relations; US military presence now welcomed rather than opposed; Cuba's influence in Venezuela significantly diminished (32 Cuban agents killed in January operation); US reasserts regional hegemony in Western Hemisphere; interim Venezuelan government dependent on US military support and legitimacy.
Similar to US interventions during Cold War Latin American regime changes (1950s Guatemala, 1960s Dominican Republic), but with apparent local acceptance rather than covert operations, suggesting potential for stabilization or future backlash if interim government fails.
