Did the U.S. Attack Venezuela?

Here's a scenario I hadn't thought about. Donald Trump announced that he launched an attack on Venezuela, which "knocked out" a "big plant or big facility" which is "where the ships come from." The twist is that no one--in either the Venezuelan or U.S. governments--confirms this. An attack on Venezuelan soil would be a big deal and would mark serious escalation. Pretending to do so without actually doing it is a liminal area that won't provide much benefit.

If there was a major attack, we would expect someone seeing it or at least hearing about it, at which point it would make its way to social media one way or the other. That said, the Venezuelan government has been brutally repressing dissent in the face of possible invasion so it's not inconceivable that it put a lid on it. I am not sure why it would want to, however, since it would be a PR boost to show victimhood. Get a nationalist boost, etc.

This has been a strange non-invasion and it's not getting less strange.
