So much emotion-laden posts since Trump announced the kidnapping of Maduro.
Most of you guys here whether NVBs, Pro-Axis or the fence-seaters could really do with a chilled drink.

The US acted like the thug she always is - no surprises here.
Has anything changed materially on the ground in Caracas - no!

The coming days would reveal a lot.
And, if the US was so sure of a swift victory and installing her puppet, they'd have leveled Caracas by now to pave the way for ground forces to move in and finish the job.
The fact that they're blockading Venezuela with an armada of vessels with 15k troops on board but still seem hesitant to move in says everything any clear-headed person should hear that this thing no too sure for them.
Trump can trump all he likes; Rubio can lamba and make us question our understanding of syntax and semantics of the English language, its still of little use and hasn't changed anything on the ground.

Patience, my people, patience.

Yesterday was 3rd; today is 4th January. There are still 361 days left in 2026.
We will know more as events unfold before our very eyes.

For those of you lambasting Putin let me ask you a question:
Please leave your emotions out of it and use your mind to think: how does taking out Zelensky in the first 1hr of the war on 22nd February 2022 facilitate the outcomes the Russians have always wanted?
The Russians have always wanted the freedom of the Donbass; the rights of all other Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine to be respected; Ukraine staying neutral and not having NATO on the doorsteps of Moscow.
Now tell me how kidnapping Zelensky and whisking him to St. Petersburg to go face criminal charges would've helped achieve any of the aforementioned objectives?

The West would've just installed another puppet and continued with arming of Ukraine.
The idea was to prop up Ukraine and use her to weaken Russia so they can then move in for the kill.

Putin is perhaps the smartest and most intelligent president we have today on the planet today.
The Russians are long-term planners, especially concerning geopolitics.
If they were just 10% as emotional as some of us here, they wouldn't have been able to amass approximately 11.5% of Earth's landmass as theirs!
I mean they once fought Sweden for more than 20yrs and took St. Petersburg!
They lost more than 20M persons - both military personnel and civilians - during WW2 but still chased Hitler all the way back to Berlin, a victory that ultimately led the end of WW2!
They once set Moscow ablaze just to trap Napoleon! I mean just think about that, guys!

You guys should cut these guys some slack abeg!

The strategy of draining the West has worked tremendously.
Europe is dead.
The US has resorted to outright thuggery to see if she can prop up herself and not collapse under her own weight of debt.
The US has her sight on 300B barrels of Venezuelan oil as she thinks she could use that to settle her debt crisis.
The European weapons storehouses are empty.
De-dollarisation is on course, though not as swift as we'd have loved but everything that's been worthwhile did take some time to come to fruition!
The Russians are on fulltime war economy.
And in case you guys haven't realized it yet, a wartime economy is sometimes a blessing in disguise.
Putin is ready for a showdown with NATO whenever he settles the Ukraine SMO.

The Chinese can and should do more but Xi has his eyes on countering the US in the Indo-Pacific FIRST and winning outrightly there, and then take the fight all the way across the Pacific to the US mainland.
Its called being FOCUSSED!
We may not love Xi's approach to geopolitics but each leaders' approach have their own merits.

China has prepped for whenever the US and her gang of terrorists bring their terrorism
close to her home. China has Japan, Philippines and South Korea, to an extent, to contend with and is prepared for when the US provokes her using Taiwan (Taiwan will definitely be used and it'll be rather foolish of them to play Ukraine 2.0 knowing how it is going for Ukraine at the moment).

You guys need a break.
Get off this thread.
Go outside.
Take off your shirts and take in the evening breeze.
Take a walk.
Clear heads and minds so you can process all of these happenings rationally.

As for the NVBs, I love y'all - a weak man must earn his wages by whatever means. Even if that "means" entails selling his birthright for a morsel of bread!

Wrong

Many USA military analyst said what Russia is doing in Ukraine

So that why USA is looking for a win in Venezuela and other places because Russia humiliated them in Ukraine

Russia cannot do what the US did yesterday in Caracas, they don't have the manpower, logistics and technicalities do such

Look at Russia in Ukraine.....they can't even dominant the sky over one donbas not to take of Kiev. even there own airspace is not even protected like that.

i understand that Russia and US have different military doctrine. The only country that can try are the Israelis,

⚡Trump to the Atlantic:

If Delcy Rodríguez doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.
For Trump to have said this shows that they didn't plan this thing well, he still thinks coercion would continue to work. Now I know that the Chavismo spirit is still alive. Interesting times ahead.

That place was presidential Palace with guard, air defence and other military grade equipment. It was even said that maduro personal guard were Cubans not Venezuelans.

Crimes was taken from Ukraine without resistance but in the case of Venezuela, they knew what was coming and they can do absolutely nothing about it

"I think it's just going to fall. I don't think we need any action. It looks like it's going down — it's going down for the count. You ever watch a fight? They go down for the count, and Cuba looks like it's going down."

Maduro could be in Türkiye today, but he’s in New York.

You better take the offer.

Maduro has nobody to blame but himself. We gave him a way out.

He chose to defy Trump and U.S. military, and his ass is in jail.
