YES... WHAT HAPPENED...? 

OH... I SEE, TRUMP HAS GONE FROM F**KING WOMEN TO F**KING MEN WITH THICK MOUSTACHES, LIKE MADURO...

President Donald Trump announced on January 3 that the United States carried out a “large scale strike against Venezuela” and that President Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been captured and removed from the country.

“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“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,” he added.

The early morning strike in Venezuela came following months of escalation by the Trump administration, which in October doubled the reward for the arrest of Maduro on alleged drug trafficking charges to $50 million.

Right before Trump made his announcement, the Venezuelan government issued a statement saying that Maduro signed a state of emergency and ordered all national defense plans to be implemented “at the appropriate time and under the appropriate circumstances” in response to a “very serious grave military aggression” by the U.S.

In a brief phone interview with The New York Times shortly after his announcement, Trump hailed what he called a “brilliant operation.”

“A lot of good planning and lot of great, great troops and great people,” Trump told the Times. “It was a brilliant operation, actually.”

According to the Times, Trump declined to answer questions about whether he’d sought congressional authority for the strike, saying he’d address it at his upcoming news conference.

Multiple military sites in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, were hit during the strike, and footage that surfaced online in the very first minutes revealed that U.S. special forces moved into the country in several helicopters. According to CBS News, it was the elite Delta Force unit that captured Maduro.

Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López appeared after Trump’s announcement, and said in a video message that the country is currently gathering information about the number of people killed and wounded.

He added that the country would resist the presence of foreign troops in the country. This coincided with rumors that U.S. troops had captured one of the airports in Caracas.

“This invasion represents the greatest outrage the country has suffered,” he added.

Later on, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez confirmed the government doesn’t know the whereabouts of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

While treason may have played a key role in the success of the U.S. strike, a report by Sky News suggested that the capture of Maduro was in fact the result of a “negotiated exit”.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had informed that Maduro will stand trial in the U.S. If true, then the reports about some understanding are false.

“He informed me that Nicolás Maduro has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant,” the Utah senator posted to X.

“This action likely falls within the president’s inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack,” he added.

It was very clear from the beginning that the U.S. escalation against Venezuela was not the result of the drug problem, but rather a plot to overthrow Maduro in order to tap into the country’s oil reserves, which are believed to be the largest in the world.

Trump first shied away from talking about a regime change in the country, or mentioning its resources. This changed in recent weeks, however, which was a sign that the U.S. was about to take action.

It is unclear how things will progress from here. The situation in Venezuela appears to be stable, with López and Rodríguez firmly in control. Thus, the same regime is still in power.
