🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 GEN. CAINE: “ONLY THE U.S. MILITARY COULD’VE DONE THIS” Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine just confirmed the name: Operation Absolute Resolve… the elite mission that brought down Maduro. Ultimately, this was about proving that when America wants to act, no one on Earth can stop it. Gen. "Razin" Caine: "This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discreet, precise, and the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal, an operation that, frankly, only the United States military could undertake. Our inner agency work began months ago, and built on decades of experience of integrating complex air, ground, space, and maritime operations. This particular mission required every component of our joint force, working in unison with our intelligence partners and law enforcement teammates in an unprecedented operation. We leveraged our matched intelligence capabilities, and our years of experience in hunting terrorists. We watched, we waited, we prepared, we remained patient and professional… this was meticulously planned. Failure is never an option for America’s joint force." Source: @RapidResponse47

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 SEC. WAR HEGSETH: “MADURO F’D AROUND AND FOUND OUT” Maduro ignored every red line. He thought he was untouchable, until Delta Force showed up. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth didn’t hold back: “Nicolás Maduro had his chance, just like Iran had their chance, until they didn't and until he didn't. He F’d around and he found out. President Trump is deadly serious about stopping the flow of gangs and violence to our country, deadly serious about stopping the flow of drugs and poison to our people… and deadly serious about establishing American deterrent and dominance in the Western Hemisphere. This is about the safety, security, freedom, and prosperity of the American people. This is America first, this is peace through strength, and the U.S. War Department is proud to help deliver it.” Source: @RapidResponse47 , @SecWar

🚨 🇺🇸 🇻🇪 TRUMP: “MADURO AND HIS WIFE TOOK A NICE HELICOPTER RIDE, STRAIGHT FROM THEIR BEDROOM” Trump just confirmed it: Maduro and his wife were captured by the U.S. Delta Force, flown by helicopter directly from their home, and loaded onto the USS Iwo Jima. The takedown was so precise, so surgical, they didn’t even make it to the front door, they went straight from bed to custody. Now they’re en route to New York to face federal indictments for narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and weapons charges. This is how you handle dictators who act like cartel bosses: no warnings, no delays… just steel, speed, and consequences. Trump: “They went by helicopter in a nice flight. I’m sure they loved it.” Source: @visegrad24 , Fox News

Asked in Fox News just now about the Venezuelan oil industry, Trump says: “We’re going to be very strongly involved in it.”

🚨🇻🇪🇨🇳 MADURO MET WITH CHINA, THEN GOT SNATCHED BY THE U.S. HOURS LATER Maduro’s final public act as “President” wasn’t addressing his people or defending his collapsing regime, as he was shaking hands with China’s special envoy Qiu Xiaoqi, at Miraflores Palace in Caracas on Friday, where they reaffirmed bilateral ties amid U.S. pressure. Then, literally hours later, the U.S. rolled in and took him into custody. Talk about bad optics… but was it a coincidence? Not a chance. This was a geopolitical mic drop and an overall message to China (and every regime they prop up): your puppet just got pulled off stage. For years, Maduro played the long game with foreign powers like China and Iran, thinking U.S. leadership was too weak or distracted to act, but not anymore. After this, the warning to America's enemies is now loud and clear. Source: @BNONews

🚨 🇺🇸🇻🇪 DOJ: MADURO WASN’T A PRESIDENT, HE WAS A CARTEL BOSS IN A SUIT The newly unsealed indictment from the DOJ lays it all out: Nicolás Maduro used Venezuela as a front for one of the largest drug trafficking operations in the world, and America was the target. He didn’t just bankrupt Venezuela, but helped poison America while hiding behind fake elections, state-run propaganda, and foreign backing from China, Iran, and others who knew exactly what he was doing. This is why he was taken down, not because of oil or forced “regime change.” He declared war on the U.S. with cocaine, cartels, and chaos, thinking the U.S. wouldn’t respond. Well, now he’s in custody, and the receipts are available for the public to see. FAFO. What House Bureau Chief at Politico, Dasha Burns: "For over 25 years, leaders of Venezuela have abused their positions of public trust and corrupted once-legitimate institutions to import tons of cocaine into the United States. Nicolas Maduro Moros, the defendant, is at the forefront of that corruption and has partnered with his co-conspirators to use his illegally obtained authority and the institutions he corroded to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States."

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 TRUMP: “VENEZUELA WAS AN ASSAULT PEOPLE HAVEN’T SEEN SINCE WWII” “Late last night and early today, at my direction, the U.S. Armed forces conducted an extreme military operation in the capital of Venezuela. Overwhelming American military power, air, land, and sea, was used to launch a spectacular assault, it was an assault that people have not seen since World War II. It was a force against a heavily fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas, to bring outlaw dictator Nicolas Maduro to justice. This was one of the most stunning, effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.” Source: The White House

🇺🇸🇻🇪 “THE HOUR OF FREEDOM HAS ARRIVED” - VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION LEADER MACHADO MAKES HER MOVE Within hours of Nicolás Maduro’s capture, Venezuela’s opposition leader went straight to the endgame: this is the hour of freedom. No ambiguity. No calls for dialogue. She framed the moment as irreversible. Her message was disciplined and strategic. Maduro, she said, will face international justice. Venezuela must begin an immediate democratic transition. And Edmundo González Urrutia - winner of the 2024 election the regime tried to bury - is the legitimate president. Not soon. Now. Machado also issued a warning disguised as hope: stay organized, stay mobilized, stay vigilant - inside Venezuela and across the diaspora. With Washington openly talking oil, Beijing crying kidnapping, and regional leaders choosing sides, Machado is racing to anchor legitimacy before Venezuela becomes a geopolitical asset fight. The next battle won’t be in the streets. It’ll be over recognition - embassies, central bank access, PDVSA control, and who gets to sign what next. If Machado locks that down fast, the regime’s ghost won’t matter. Moments like this don’t last. She knows it. Source: visegrad24, MariaCorinaYA

🇽🇰🇻🇪 KOSOVO BACKS TRUMP'S VENEZUELA OPERATION-ALLIES RECOGNIZING DECISIVE LEADERSHIP Kosovo's government issued full-throated support for Trump's "actions against Venezuela's narco-terror regime." Called it "strength and American leadership." Compared it to their own liberation by U.S. forces. This is what alliance actually means. Kosovo doesn't hedge, doesn't equivocate, doesn't issue "we have concerns" diplomatic speak. They said: America did the right thing, we stand with you, this is what leadership looks like. Kosovo knows something the rest of us are figuring out: There's difference between forever wars and decisive operations. U.S. didn't occupy Venezuela for 20 years. Didn't nation-build. Didn't try to export democracy through prolonged military presence. Trump identified narco-terrorist regime threatening American interests, acted decisively, accomplished mission. Kosovo's own history validates this approach. 1999: Milošević's Serbia conducting ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. NATO debates for months. Clinton finally acts-78 days of airstrikes, no ground invasion, mission accomplished. Serbia withdraws, Kosovo liberated, no American occupation. 25 years later, Kosovo is independent, democratic, and grateful. That's the model: clear objective, overwhelming force, rapid execution, withdrawal. Not "we'll figure out governance later" occupation strategy that turned Iraq and Afghanistan into quagmires. Kosovo's statement hits every right note: "Trump stood with the people of Venezuela and stood up to Maduro's narco-state-protecting America and the rest of the world from cartels and organized crime." Venezuela was a narco-terrorist state exporting drugs, violence, and chaos throughout hemisphere. Maduro regime was Chinese client threatening American interests 1,000 miles from Florida. Removing him is just self-defense. "The Venezuelan people deserve freedom, democracy, and a future governed by law, not fear." Kosovo understands the impact of American resolve-our own liberation is a testament to it." Kosovo remembers what decisive American intervention accomplished. They're not cynical about it-they live it. Their freedom is direct result of American military power used correctly. Alliance doesn't mean America asks permission. Alliance means America leads, allies support. If you only back American actions that are uncontroversial, you're not ally-you're fair-weather friend. This is what small nations understand that big ones forget: American power, used decisively and limited in scope, creates stability. Kosovo exists because America was willing to bomb Serbia without UN authorization. Now they're telling skeptical Europeans: that worked for us, support it for Venezuela. The narco-terrorism framing is correct. Maduro wasn't just authoritarian-his regime was literally narco-state. Venezuelan military controlled drug trafficking. Cartels operated with government protection. Money laundered through state apparatus. That's terrorist organization masquerading as government. When government is the cartel, you can't fight cartel without fighting government. Source: VjosaOsmaniPRKS

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 MADURO ON A U.S. WARSHIP: FROM “PRESIDENT” TO PRISONER ABOARD THE USS IWO JIMA Trump just released the first photo of Nicolás Maduro in U.S. custody, and he’s pictured sitting aboard the USS Iwo Jima, looking very far from presidential in his pajamas. This is the same guy who once stood on a balcony pretending to be untouchable, calling Elon Musk his “arch-enemy,” jailing journalists, and pumping cocaine into the U.S. through cartel pipelines. Now? He’s on a Navy warship, surrounded by armed guards, facing federal charges for narco-terrorism. For decades, Maduro used fake elections, foreign allies, and fear to hold power. He thought he could silence his people, declare war on free speech, and flood American cities with drugs, and never pay the price… But now he’s a prisoner in transit. This proves that tyrants don’t always get away with it. Sometimes, they end up on a U.S. warship with handcuffs instead. Source: SputnikInt , realDonaldTrump, codiguillos

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 TRUMP: ZERO U.S. DEATHS IN MADURO TAKEDOWN, ONLY “A FEW INJURIES” Trump just confirmed it: the operation to capture Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro was a surgical strike with no American deaths, only “a few injuries.” It’s a certain victory, as one of the most wanted and dangerous figures in the Western Hemisphere was taken down without a single U.S. fatality. Meanwhile, the media and Democrats are scrambling to figure out if they should be angry, confused, or quietly impressed. This was ultimately a statement, making it clear that corrupt thugs don’t get to hide behind borders anymore. Maduro’s regime didn’t just destroy Venezuela, but exported chaos to the U.S. through cartels, mass migration, and foreign meddling, and Trump just reminded the world what leadership with a spine looks like. FAFO, indeed. Trump: “This is amazing. To have a few injuries, and no death on our side, is really amazing.” Source: EricLDaugh, foxandfriends

🇺🇸🇻🇪 TRUMP: U.S. KNOCKED OUT 97% OF DRUG BOATS FROM VENEZUELA, WILL RUN COUNTRY UNTIL SAFE TRANSITION "Look at the boats, you know, we've knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by sea. 90%. Each boat kills 25, on average, 25,000 people. We knocked out 97%. And those drugs mostly come from a place called Venezuela. We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition. So we don't want to be involved with having somebody else get in and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition." Source:

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 MADURO INDICTED: THE CARTEL-IN-CHIEF HAS BEEN EXPOSED The DOJ just dropped the unsealed indictment, and it’s a full-blown cartel takedown. Maduro, his wife Cilia, senior military leaders, and top regime figures are being charged with: – Narco-terrorism conspiracy – Cocaine importation conspiracy – Possession of machineguns & destructive devices – Conspiracy to possess machineguns & destructive devices This clearly wasn't "corruption," but a functioning narco-state, plain and simple. According to U.S. prosecutors, Maduro used every position he held (from the National Assembly to Foreign Minister to “President”) to move tons of cocaine into the U.S., protect drug traffickers with fake diplomatic cover, and arm his regime like a militia. The indictment says he personally facilitated trafficking operations, repatriated drug profits from Mexico, and turned Venezuela’s government into a safe haven for cartels. This is why he was captured, not because of ideology or oil, but because he’s a criminal who used a nation as a cover for international narco-terror. And now he’s going to face his crimes in a U.S. courtroom. Source: The U.S. Justice Department

🇺🇸🇻🇪 TRUMP: US FORCES CAPTURE MADURO AND WIFE IN NIGHT OPERATION, FACING NARCO-TERRORISM CHARGES "All Venezuelan military capacities were rendered powerless as the men and women of our military, working with U.S. law enforcement, successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night. It was dark. The lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have. It was dark and it was deadly, but captured along with his wife, Celia Flores, both of whom now face American justice. Maduro and Flores have been indicted in the Southern District of New York, for their campaign of deadly narco-terrorism against the United States and its citizens. I want to thank the men and women of our military who achieved such an extraordinary success overnight with breathtaking speed, power, precision, and competence." Source: WhiteHouse

As of today, Venezuela is facing a major geopolitical crisis: 🔹 U.S. military strikes have targeted the country. 🔹 Nicolás Maduro has been captured and removed from power according to U.S. authorities. 🔹 The Venezuelan government denounces an act of aggression and calls for resistance. 🔹 The international community is deeply divided over the legitimacy of the operation.

🚨 🇺🇸 🇻🇪 STEALTH MODE: ULTRA-RARE RQ-170 DRONE SPOTTED AFTER VENEZUELA STRIKES The U.S. RQ-170 “Sentinel,” one of America’s most secretive stealth drones, was caught on camera returning to Puerto Rico this morning. According to reports, it had just finished supporting precision U.S. strikes in Venezuela following Maduro’s capture. This drone is so classified it's nicknamed the “Beast of Kandahar,” and it never shows up unless something major is going down. So the U.S. doesn't send the RQ-170 for show, but sends it when you need surgical surveillance over hostile territory with zero footprint. Its presence confirms what many suspected: this was a tightly coordinated op with full-spectrum visibility and elite-level execution. And now the whole world knows: The U.S. was watching the whole time. Source: Osinttechnical
