What would happen if Venezuela invaded Curaçao

Yeah a weird thought. So when I came across an analysis called The Dutch Defend Their World Empire, I was fascinated, in a sick sort of way.
"[snip...]The Dutch problem can best be described with the words, "not enough". Not enough forces to successfully repel an invasion of Aruba, Curacao, and Bonaire; not enough naval power to carry out operations to retake the islands; their fighters do not have enough range; and not enough logistical support to support an operation.[snip...] (from The Dutch Defend Their Empire)
Also, from the comments:
"[snip...]The United States would love nothing more than to see Chavez booted from power, whether that means he takes a long exile in Spain or ends up against a wall wearing a blindfold.  That said, you can guarantee that the United States would suddenly be the Netherlands' biggest ally in getting its islands back.[snip...]" (from comments to The Dutch Defend their Empire)
