The U.S. military took Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro into custody during an attack that involved a "large-scale strike" in Venezuela early Saturday morning, President Donald Trump confirmed.
The president wrote on Truth Social that the operation was successful and Maduro and his wife were "captured and flown out of the country." Trump said the operation was conducted with U.S. law enforcement and added that a news conference will take place at Mar-a-Lago at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
At least seven explosions could be heard in Venezuela’s capital city of Caracas early Saturday morning, according to The Associated Press, and low-flying aircraft were seen flying over Caracas at about 2 a.m. local time.
That must have been the quickest invasion ever 😳. Wondering what you guys think about all of this.
Exportation of democracy and capitalism is going wild!
It was inevitable. The timing is smart because Congress is on vacation 🤣
Let’s hope at least it’s going to be good for Venezuela and the U.S.
Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, and the 8th largest gas reserves.
Maduro was not smart: he could have done business with the U.S. instead of arriving to this point.
The photo above is an AI fake.
This one published by Trump should be real:
nihil sub sole novum
gangs and mafias always fight each other over dominance, the timescale makes us sometimes believe it's gone but it will never be - might makes right
hopefully Venezuelan slaves will benefit at least a bit compared to status quo
and we should never forget they are our enemies no matter the flag they carry - the only way is to be faster and smarter and keep our stuff far from their reach
This should serve as a reminder to those still believing the state and the law exist to protect people.
There is no “rule of law”. There is only the rule of whoever has more muscle, badges, and guns.
You can even be the elected president of a country and still be kidnapped from your bedroom by the state thugs of another country.
The new spheres of power work like this:
Venezuela goes to the United States.
Russia takes the useful part of Ukraine.
China annexes Taiwan, after the US repatriates what it considers strategic companies.
Europe gets illegal migrants.
Europe will have to play catch-up if it wants to be of any relevance in the future. They've already been sidelined several times (think of the Russia-Ukraine negotiations). If we continue like this, we'll become the laughing stock of the world. It's effectively already an American vassal state.
The European Union is an institution without any future regardless. Only economic cooperation between a number of powerful European countries perhaps has a future.

It's too late: Europe is doomed. It has no resources, no more colonies and it's stuck in a distant past. Money is finished. Unfortunately, Russia has no interest in it.
It can only make plans as the world's amusement park and open air museum, possibly trying to preserve Christian monuments from the Muslims' destruction fury.
Europeans will be lucky if they are allowed to escape. Remember, freedom of movement is not such an obvious right.
If Trump did this to Keir Starmer, I wouldn't be sorry. I'd actually enjoy it and laugh. The UKSSR needs taking down a peg or two.

sorry but nobody wants the UK 😐
Or is there any reason why anyone could be interested? Custard? Worcestershire sauce?

it's pretty funny that the UK has literally zero value - basically every other country is more attractive
well let's be fair... it's one big museum, relict of an empire, a reminder what happens if successful structures forget about how they got there

museum
deposit of stolen artifacts - see the British Museum
collection of rotten technology
display of stupidity
A few years ago I was in England for a few days on a business trip. By sheer coincidence, King Charles showed up in his purple Rolls-Royce at the hotel where I was staying. It was unbelievable how unfriendly he was towards the staff and people around him. But apparently that's always been a thing with him.

In his old days at Gordonstoun he used to be bullied including with some good cold Scottish showers. He was sent there to be toughened up, but the mission miserably failed.
He is unable to lace his shoes and to handle basic tasks without his valet's assistance.
In a normal world, he would be working in some public office as a mentally challenged person. Instead, Brits bow at him 🤦
El señor Trumpo will make Venezuela grande again
Here comes pathetic Switzerland. Oh such a safe and secret place for your bank accounts 🤣

Without any doubt, this image clearly shows who benefited the most from this situation…
The market likes the situation. The market is never wrong.

True power moves in silence.
