If you think Russia can pull this off, then you should get your frontal lobe checked

As par targeting world leaders... the way you reason things needs to be studied.. You believe Russia can and will target leaders of other countries coming to see Zelensky?? 👀 targeting such persons would be seen as an act of war.. Russia is struggling against Ukraine you want to add to her problems.😂😂😂

P.s Before leaders make such trips especially to a war zone aggrements would have been made...bearing in mind these countries still have diplomatic relations with Russia.. exchanges would have been made to ensure there is no form of costly mistake
It's so so funny to me. Maduro had a meeting with chinese envoys just 10 hours before US delta forces whisked him away. Where is their almighty China🤣🤣

When Trump order CIA to introduce deep strong covert operation in Venezuela. I know that Maduro days as Venezuela leader is numbered.

CIA must be infiltrated all the level of governance in Venezuela. Most especially sensitive ones like security and defense. That's why is was very very easy for Maduro to be captured.

They did in Iraq in 2023 when they invaded Iraq and removed Sadam hussien from power.

CIA infiltrated Iraq military and bribe their top generals not to fight. The same Israel is doing to Iran to cause a regime change my infiltrating their top level of governance to overthrow their supreme leader.

Are you aware that the recent death of the head Russian volunteer corps working for Ukraine was actually faked by the Ukrainian GUR? They collected 500k dollars bounty from Russia and used it to strengthen Ukrainian defence. As in, Russia contributed to Ukraine's defence grin grin

I support Russia, but we need to be truthful here. We should give the US some credit for this mission. I wish Russia had started this way, by now, the war will have been over.

One of the main reasons Ukraine is still standing is because of Zelensky. If Zelensky had been killed at the beginning, I believe the war would have been over by now.

Maduro is not popular in Venezuela, and removing him has always been a US objective. In fact, Trump openly pressured him to leave for weeks, but he refused. Now their mission has been achieved.

The US will likely install a puppet government because the military generals will be too afraid to take over.
I also believe this was an internal sabotage, someone close to Maduro was working with the US.

I support Russia, but I try to be objective. You, however, are not objective. Anything Russia does is right to you, and anything the US does is wrong.
As things stand now, Russia needs to be ruthless, no more mercy.
The war has weakened Russia, if not for the Ukraine war, the US would not have invaded Venezuela , and Syria would not have fallen either.

All this time, you were focusing on Russia’s planes landing in Venezuela. Now we can see that Venezuela is very weak.

And for those saying it would not have been easy if it was in Nigeria. We don’t even have air defense, if the US decided to act, they could capture Tinubu in under ten minutes. In fact, Nigeria might not even realize the US was present before it was over.

Overall, we need peace in the world. That is why I support Russia and China to help curb US military excesses.
It's not the same. Russia is fighting their brothers slavs and in the long run NATO will be the winners in that fight(2 slavs killing themselves) but in that of Venezuela anyone is expendable as long as they are not Americans.

I see alot of weeping and gnashing of teeth over those necessary but limited strikes by the US on the illegal government of Venezuela military assets!!

To soot the pains of our friends.. this are what we call probing or testing the waters.. there will be no invasion of Venezuela..
Sit back and let the boys in Langley do the dirty work..
I thought they were daring Trump to act, for small Venezuela. I just dey laugh, they didn't even deserve a response.
Same way daring US to attack Iran, Iran that has been exposed and naked by Isreal.
Even the US fear them less now, I use to believe they'll pack a punch but after the past year omo they're just sitting duck with US looking uninterested

There’s a reason the US is using helicopters rather than airplanes for its assault.

Shooting at helicopters is different from airplanes. Most ADs are optimized for airplanes and helis can easily bypass them by flying low or flying around mountains. When detected, the helicopters can just remain in hover position which makes them hard and sometimes impossible to zero on.

The script here is to use low flying helicopters to take out the ADs. Thereafter, the jets will be able to fly freely across the Venezuelan skies.
General khan weldone.
You just turn black to white. Ordinary 20mm machine gun will bring down your heli. Don't even need a capable SAM. What's worst operating a heli in an urban environment is a recipe for disaster.
US flying heli in comfortable shows one thing - the Venezuela Arial threat has been completely neutralize and non existent.

You can see the NVBs have suddenly disappeared. After repeatedly claiming that the US will not invade Venezuela and that the whole thing is about drugs and not oil, they have once again witnessed their greedy American lords disappoint them.

For now, they are still awaiting official US statements so they know what talking points to follow. Once they get their talking points, expect them to unleash their madness on this thread.
Read the part that says "it involves large number of combatants" this operation was done by probably less than 50 people 😜😜

If Maduro have been truly captured then he's fvcked. There's nothing anyone can do about it.

But if he hasn't, he should stay hidden wherever he is and don't even try to prove he's safe because the US will be watching and working out his location.

Whoever replaces Maduro should learn and not be a fuul like the dancing clown.

Maduro himself is useless to the US. They want oil and they can't get it unless they occupy the country. That's where the real battle is.
Okay sir, your advice as the head of the storm z unit of the second best army in Ukraine has been noted and conveyed to the appropriate authorities 🤣🤣

Rilwayne001:
US military might is hinged on the fact that they can weaken others economically before they can even use military power.

They have done so with Iran, and they are currently doing the same thing with Russia.

They only need to sanction the country they want to mess us with and instruct their allies to do the same or threaten any country that does trade with such country they’re dealing with.

China economy is different. They simply can’t do same for China. Even if they decide to sanction China, they can’t stop their allies from trading with China or threaten anyone from trading with them. Why, because China has grown tremendously that most countries depend directly or indirectly on them for survival. This is similar to how US has been able to make everyone rely on them.

Should China go to any direct war at the moment, they’d have to be spending from their economy and eventually get distracted to the point that they’d lose the current growth and advantage they possess.

US understands this which is why they have been baiting them. And I like XI, he’s not going to fall to their bait.

I support China only Use military power when they’re directly confronted, otherwise they should continue to stay focused.
That was how you lots were hyping Venezuela ooo. Continue....🤣🤣

⚡U.S. sources report that the Delta special forces operation in Caracas is now in its most critical stages. The mission, focused on detaining Nicolás Maduro and several senior Venezuelan officials, is actively underway.

The U.S. military helicopters are operating at low altitude which make them an easy targets for air defense systems but there is no defensive response from the Venezuelan air defense forces..
What happened to the 2000 Geran 2 drones you and your lots said will significantly change the defence posture of the entire Carribbean? grin grin

Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been indicted in the Southern District of New York.

Nicholas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States.

They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.

You mean the country that their leader has been kidnapped or maybe Maduro negotiated his way out.

The Koko is that Maduro has been removed from power. America will just simply appoint a puppet as Venezuela leader. Very Simple as ABCD.
oga, you go need update yourself

the axis is still very much in control of venezuela as we speak
they cannot appoint a puppet because maduro's regime still controls the country

Again let us not give in to the US disinformation campaign.

It's the same thing they did against Iran. Trying to force Khamenei to reveal his location. It's the oldest trick in their book.

Until you see Maduro on US soil, believe nothing.
will it not be hilarious if they actually arrested his body double

anyway here's what their plan looks like right now
according to the venezuela constitution, when the president is indisposed, the vice president is sworn in as the interim president
the interim president must then conduct elections within 30 days, like in iran where it is 50 or so days
they'd then use the time between now and the election to bribe, intimidate, blackmail, and assassinate electoral and security officers to make sure their puppet is announced as the winner of the elections

it is a deeply flawed plan
because until the elections, the axis controls the entire country
and regional powers like colombia, brazil, and even mexico may decide not to allow a puppet become the next president of venezuela under any circumstance
lopez or another general may seize power and go on an extensive purge of the opposition
an insurgency or a brutal assassination campaign against pro hegemonic forces may be sanctioned by regional powers or the axis
perhaps that is why the opposition have gone mute
they are all marked
if the us can capture maduro, any of them can be terminated

this is apparently not your standard regime change where the government is deposed
and pro hegemonic domestic partners wait in the wings to either take over power immediately or steer power to hegemonic domestic partners

the europeans are on edge
all their heads of states are fair game, especially after the MI6 assassination attempt on Putin
i think this started with the attempt on pezeshkian
it has been escalation after escalation

the only folks i pity are the hegemonic asian heads of states
taiwan, south korea, japan, and philippines
their untouchable cards are null and void
and xi will not live forever
