Maduro

The operation to capture and extradite Maduro, code named Absolute Resolve, consisted of a helicopter-borne raid on the Venezuelan capital city of Caracas. The incursion that followed used 170 aircraft and was the culmination of months of preparation and weeks of waiting for the perfect window of opportunity.

Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “[Maduro] F’d around and he found out.”

“Voice from a Venezuelan” posted, “As a Venezuelan, I can say this plainly: much of the left leaning media is going to aggressively twist this story. What needs to be understood is that when the bombs fell, they struck only military bases and an international airport that had already been closed, with all international flights suspended.

“Many Venezuelans did not panic, they cheered from their homes when they saw the helicopters. This was not random or uninformed support. Roughly 75% of Venezuelans voted for María Corina Machado, backing her platform and her openly stated plan to pursue cooperation with the United States, including the possibility of U.S. intervention, to remove Nicolás Maduro from power in exchange for reopening Venezuela to free trade.

“This was a calculated choice. Venezuela has resources the United States wants, and the United States has the leverage and support Venezuela needs. It was a path we knowingly chose, fully aware of the risks involved.

“Love it or hate it, do not accept the narrative at face value. This was not imposed on us. We chose this path. ~ Author: Crhia Michel San Martin”

We Americans may not have voted for this, but that’s only because we don’t think as BIG and OUTSIDE the box as our amazing POTUS does.

On January 3, 2026, this hypocrite posted, “It’s an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president – failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home – decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to ‘run’ a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.” [FYI Pete: When the economy is growing at a record-breaking pace, that does not constitute “failing on the economy.”]

After Maduro lost the 2024 Venezuelan election but refused to vacate the office, Biden offered a $25 million bounty on Maduro’s head.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury [D-NM-1] tweeted, “Overnight the U.S. President ordered the invasion of Venezuela and capture of its President. While Maduro clearly is a corrupt and illegitimate thug who oversaw the destabilization and suffering of millions, the fact remains that the U.S. President is acting on authority he does not have.”

Stansbury is wrong. The U.S. President has the constitutional authority as Commander in Chief (Article II, Section 2) to order limited military strikes, particularly in response to threats, to protect U.S. interests, or for defensive purposes, without prior congressional approval. The strike to capture Maduro reportedly took 30 minutes.

Also this.
