...if Hugo makes a military move... and fails... the population is going to turn against him.

The people already are against him. Trouble is, they don't have the means to overthrow him while the military is still backing him. Same as the situation in Iran... The people are disarmed.

Ah! But once the people find out that the Venezuelan military is just a paper tiger...

Venezuela is still a democracy, so far as I know. The people elected him in 1998, 2000, and 2006. I don’t see why they cannot unelect him if they wish.
