That is a impressive operation, everything aside. Probably the fastest government toppling in history? Too bad it’s done by a war hawk.

>The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

So they captured Maduro? Has that ever happened? A sitting president being captured?

Oh wow he announced it on his truth social app. This is ridiculous

This is so absurd… I didn’t even know this was an option.

3 hour special military operation.

Are they flying him to the US? I thought Trump wanted the Venezuelans out?
YaChowdaHead on
So was the operation ongoing several hours after the strikes? Because, otherwise, how did Maduro issue the national emergency declaration unless he was giving orders to staff and then was reported captured at some point thereafter?

This is probably what Putin thought was going to happen in Ukraine.

Is this the USAs version of Russia’s “special military operation “?

How did Maduro fall so quickly? Was he not preparing for war?

Some news outlet are just reporting the bombing while Trump is out here tweeting job done. What the hell.

So I am aware of how the events unfolded over the last few weeks and months but now I realise I don’t know anything about the internal politics of Venezuela.
Is the removal of Maduro good for the country? Did he have a large support or did he grab power via fraud? Who is desired by the people to replace him? What kind of government is the favourable one by Venezuelans? Would removing him change anything realistically?

The funniest thing is that even if Maduro wanted to fly to US it would have taken him longer.

Every recipient of the FIFA peace prize has gone on to invade another nation and kidnap their president within a month of being awarded the accolade.

Those next rounds of peace talks with Russia should be fun… “Listen Vlad, you can’t just invade a sovereign nation and demand they change leadership”.

Big ‘2003 Iraq’ vibes here. Oil rich nation with a leader they suddenly care about again? Leaving a power vacuum in that nation while they purge the oil reserves, started on a flimsy, transparent premise (WMD’s vs ‘drug boats’). How very FIFA peace prize of them.

I wonder what they will do to Maduro?
Taking him to trial in a regular US court could backfire. Most of what the Trump government is accusing him of are made up propaganda terms, that have no real legal background.
I’m not saying Maduro didn’t commit any crimes, especially against his own people, but it could get very hard to prove that he had done anything substantial that a US court has any jurisdiction over. A competent defense lawyer could easily get him acquitted. Especially with Trump’s incompetent DOJ handling the prosecution.
I guess the US government will try to play it save and just lock Maduro away in Guantanamo without process. Hoping that a pro Trump government will take over in Venezuela and they can then hand him over.
