US Military Operation Captures Maduro, Trump Outlines Venezuela Plan

Maduro's Capture and Indictment

• ⚡ The United States military conducted an extraordinary operation in Caracas, Venezuela, capturing Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in the dead of night.
• ⚖️ Maduro and Flores have been indicted in the Southern District of New York for "deadly naroterrorism" against the United States and its citizens.
• 🎯 The operation was described as a "stunning, effective, and powerful display of American military might and competence," with no American service members killed or equipment lost.

Operation Absolute Resolve

• 🚀 The mission, named Operation Absolute Resolve, was the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal, involving a massive joint military and law enforcement raid.
• ✈️ Over 150 aircraft (bombers, fighters, reconnaissance, rotary wing) from 20 different bases were involved, ensuring tactical surprise and safe passage for the apprehension force.
• 🛡️ US forces dismantled and disabled Venezuelan air defense systems, and despite coming under fire, all aircraft returned safely, demonstrating precision and overwhelming force.

US Vision for Venezuela

• 🇻🇪 The US intends to "run the country" until a safe, proper, and judicious transition can occur, ensuring peace, liberty, and justice for the Venezuelan people.
• 💰 US oil companies will rebuild Venezuela's broken oil infrastructure, investing billions and making the country profitable, with proceeds benefiting Venezuelans and reimbursing the US.
• ✅ The US will ensure the country is run properly and fairly, taking care of the people of Venezuela and those who were forced out and are now living in the United States.

Justification for Intervention

• ⚠️ Maduro was accused of being the kingpin of a vast criminal network, trafficking colossal amounts of deadly drugs and sending "savage and murderous gangs" like Tren de Aragua to terrorize American communities.
• 🚫 The regime unilaterally seized American oil assets and hosted foreign adversaries, violating core principles of American foreign policy and threatening US interests.
• 🚨 This operation serves as a warning to anyone who would threaten American sovereignty or endanger American lives, reasserting American power in the Western Hemisphere.

Future Implications

• 🇺🇸 The embargo on Venezuelan oil remains in full effect, and the American armada remains poised, with the US retaining all military options until its demands are met.
• 🌍 The US aims to be surrounded by good, stable neighbors and protect its energy interests, with a message also directed at Cuba regarding its failing state and historical involvement.
• 🤝 The US military will have a presence in Venezuela related to oil expertise, ensuring the proper administration and rebuilding of the country's infrastructure.
