Maybe not accurate, not sure. Fox just said "several" soldiers were injured in the raid, although none are critical. No planes were downed, or other physical damage sustained.

It was a US Special Ops mission.

I agree with JRSec. This is a return to the Monroe doctrine

Jonathan Turley basically torched them this morning. He said if Obama can order an operation that vaporized an american citizen, and Obama doesnt get a single criminal charge brought against him, then Trump has the authority to go in and pluck out Maduro and his wife.

I have three brief comments after reading this thread:

1. Mexico and Mexican cartels will now lose sleep.

2. Cuba has been served notice, and in a wonderfully indirect way.

3. Now the board knows why its leftist are tolerated. Mild delusional thought actually inoculates against Extreme delusional thought. Our leftists act like a vaccine against the hard left of reddit and the mainstream media. Idiocy reveals true delusion more clearly and completely than reason.

Maduro's personal security force was made up of Cuban soldiers. I guess that didn't work out too well for them.

Just an FYI, the “speech occurred on July 30, 2024, when Maduro directed the challenge at his domestic political opponent, Edmundo González Urrutia, and the Venezuelan opposition after disputed election results—not at Trump or the U.S.”

Even Maduro is sufficiently smart not to directly challenge Trump.

Apparently, Maduro and his wife were asleep when the Special Ops forces arrived. They took off running for a safe room reinforced with a large steel door, but they didn't make it.

Maduro and Trump had reportedly been negotiating a resolution involving Maduro's exit, but apparently, Trump ran out of patience.

The operation was actually planned for 4 nights ago, but bad weather delayed it.

Trump starts a war:
Wars are great! Regime change is good! Trump is strong for starting wars! We should be world police!

1. It is an enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine.
2. It is a police effort to curtail narcotics trafficking in the U.S.
3. Since the fall of the Soviet Union the Marxist in and around the Americas have used drug trafficking to further their incursions and to destabilize our society.

All are valid reasons to take these actions and the fact that they haven't been taken before was a dereliction of duty by former presidents.

1. That is not the stated reason by the Trump regime. We can debate the modern merits of a 200 year old policy about colonization

2. We’ll see. If Trump wanted to curtail narcotics trafficking, why did he pardon several convicted drug traffickers? The secondary benefactor of drug trafficking in the US is US government operations.

3. Almost laughable assertion. Some leftist organizations get funding through drug operations. By and large these are free market capitalists supplying a product with broad demand here. If anything you could argue that drug demand is buoyed by the misery that unregulated corporatism brings

RE: Breaking: US hits Caracas
Trump's presser has started. Our forces apparently turned off most of the electricity in Caracas.

Wow, Trump just said the US is now going to run the country until further notice, with the eventual goal of establishing a proper transition of government in Venezuela. Not something that can be done quickly, and Maduro's regime will not be apart of it.

The US was also prepared to do a second wave attack last night, but apparently it wasn't necessary. But Trump made it clear we would have used it if necessary.

The US objective now is to make the Venzuelan people rich, independent and safe.

Trump just said the Maduro trial will be held in either New York or Miami, as that has not yet been decided.

US oil companies will now go into Venezuela to run the oil operations.

Trump mentioned that Venezuela confiscated American oil interests many years ago, as Americans were the ones who built up their oil industry. Venezuela confiscated a lot of oil and physical assets owned legitimately by the US. And nobody ever did anything about it until now.

Trump just declared that the US will dominate the western hemisphere, with the objective to protect commerce and assets. We'll secure our borders, defend our assets, and crush the drug cartels.

This military op should serve as a warning to any cartel or country that threatens American lives. What happened to Maduro can happen to others.

Then you dumb leftist fktards should go ahead and admit that it was the quickest, most successful war in history. Leader on 1 side captured and not 1 casualty or piece of equipment harmed on the other.

Trump is just that good

US will occupy Venezuela until it feels the drug threat is neutralized and they have a leader who plays ball. At least Trump admits what it is about. Drugs and oil.
