      That is crazy. I am really curious under what basis they will imprison and try him. This is so very unprecedented.

      Twenty years ago I made a bet that the USA would act on/in Venezuela because of their oil. I predicted war but it seems like this happened instead….

      The Venezuelan military industrial complex gave up maduro. The US pressure got to them. All those boat and land strikes weren’t for nothing.

      Utter madness.

      I can only hope that Venezuela can somehow hold it together and actually find a way out of this without things falling apart. Given that venezuela prospering wasn’t the purpose and based on precedent…. I can’t say i’m hopeful

      That is great news. This guy is a horrible president, who ruined the country. The people will be rightfully happy about it

      This is low key hilarious. “Captured” President is a hilarious headline.

    13. Glad-Routine-6904 on

      It is astonishing how much more capable the United States is compared to Russia.

      I forgot where I read that screenshot post back in pre pandemic. Some shitpost about Trump should order US SOF to capture Kim Jong Un, bring him to the White House, and have him spank then bend the knee ala GoT.

      Does all of the resources in Venezuela now belong to Trump because he brings peace?

    16. Nexhua on

      Well that was fast. But would this actually lead to regime change? (A US siding Venezuelan government) Another Maduro buffoons might take the reigns, in that case would Trump chose to actually continue this operation. I feel like he only intended for a quick operation, not another full scale long term war

      Didn’t have kidnapping a foreign head of state on my bingo card for 2026, it’s utterly evil and colonial, but must say the efficiency was brutal. All eyes on China now, I suppose?

    21. nuanarpoq on

      The US put a $50 million bounty on Maduro. How long before Trump suggests that he pay himself the reward?

    22. joepmeneer on

      If you think this is about drugs and democracy, consider that Venezuela has the largest oil reserve in the world and that the Venezuelan president nationalized the oil production, taking it from US oil companies, and selling it for euros and crypto instead of USD.

      And now the power vacuum takes hold and millions of innocent people will suffer even more.

    26. Fun-Manufacturer4170 on

      Kind off a gibe to putin, thats how you do a special military operation

    27. Sad_Childhood8205 on

      Trump found the nobel peace prize hack.

      He starts wars so he can stop them.

    28. 2001-Odysseus on

      Now THAT’s how you do a special military operation. Even as an European, I cannot help but admire how effective the US military has been this time.

    30. Moist_Emu_6951 on

      So, like a common mobster, the raving lunatic just kidnapped the Head of a foreign State and his family (without congressional approval, mind you), proving once again that International Law only applies against non-US/Western/Israeli entities and countries.

    31. inthenameofselassie on

      So… we’re installing González instead right?

      Or is Venezuala now occupied until furthur notice?

    32. nonquitt on

      Gotta be an inside deal, maybe Maduro himself was involved. Maybe not, but there was definitely an inside component. Long term is this just regime change to secure sweetheart oil deals?

    33. Abdulkarim0 on

      Is this the fastest war in history? One country against another, ended in two hours?

      Maduro was president last night and in jail this morning.

      Gotta be sucks.

    35. Few-Coat1297 on

      I am curious what the Russians and Chinese will think behind the usual condemnations. Is this even more permission to meddle in *their* back gardens, or a genuine provocation, in particular by the Chinese given they import a lot of dark crude oil from the Maduro regeime.

    36. sauchlapf on

      What right does a country have to just abduct a foreign president and his family?

    37. Spare-Dingo-531 on

      I feel like so many actions in the international world these days are pretty much a set up for China to invade Taiwan. Ukraine was invaded by Russia which makes Russia dependent on China, which gives China a lot of resource independence. And now the US is randomly bombing countries and not punishing Russia hard enough for invading Ukraine, which sets the precedent that countries can get invaded.

    38. WontelMilliams on

      The Venezuelan opposition is alleging this “capture” was coordinated between Trump and Maduro? Not sure how that makes sense if the US just bombed their military installations.

      I suppose we’ll see….

    39. StalinCare on

      FYI: the Venezuelan opposition have said Maduro was in on this as a way for him and his wife to flee Venezuela

    40. BunnyboyCarrot on

      Thats how you do a „special military operation“.

      Jokes aside though,  the sheer speed of this is insane to me. We all knew the US was preparing something, but this is on another level. And what now? If Maduro is gone, who replaces him? The power vacuum must be huge if there is no leader in charge. And I think we can all agree that this does not bode well for Venezuelas future.

    41. TheWhiteManticore on

      Any analysis on how this was done so quickly? Its pretty world changing consider speed and efficiency US managed to make a regime fall like this, would make other unpopular dictators stay awake at night.

    43. staged84 on

      He was definitely ratted out for the bounty money. Good luck getting that money lol.

      the colonialist slavemasters who run everything, have basically stopped trying to hide their intentions
