They know what they’re doing, they just failed. The assault was supposed to capture Maduro and kill others, which they believe would have been enough to collapse the government or plunge it into enough chaos to get a change. They failed to kill the others, and as a result strengthened Venezuelan unity and made it less likely any subsequent attacks could be successful against those targets.
With a collapsed government the Maduro show trial would be looked at and accepted with little pushback. The collapse of the government without Maduro would have reinforced everything they said, and western media would have ignored the fact strikes on other members occurred so everyone would believe it’s just Maduro.

Yes actually I agree with this interpretation. This doesn’t change my assessment however that they have no idea what to do next.
I agree they don’t have a next day plan for their failures. All their next day plans assumed success.
