During the early hours of Saturday January 3, an official statement from the White House, signed by President Trump, confirmed that the US had captured both President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and taken them out of Venezuela.
At 2 a.m. sharp, thunderous sounds echoed through the capital city, part of what Trump called today “an assault not seen since World War Two… one of the most stunning displays of military might and competence in American history.” It was certainly an attack unlike anything ever seen in Venezuela. Within two hours, all of Caracas looked like a massive fireball, communications were down and areas were without power.

The headquarters of the DGCIM – Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence – burned down.
...
Second, but no less important, this area houses the central base of the terrorist organization Tren de Aragua, which Trump has often denounced. Everyone knows where it’s located: inside Tocorón prison, controlled by narco-terrorists and leaders of all organized crime in Venezuela, who have managed to create their own networks outside of Venezuela. They’ve been involved with Black Lives Matter, riots in the United States and international crimes.
Tocorón prison is like stepping into the Twilight Zone: there are restaurants, spas, swimming pools and tunnels for the leaders to come and go – all under the protection of the regime.

So the Venezuelan government pretended to punish them by putting them in Tocorón prison?
Maybe. Maybe not. But it can stop the siege of narcotics and human trafficking with which Venezuela has attacked the USA and the American People!
Venezuelans for the most part are ecstatic to be free and the US should quickly help them have free elections to choose their leadership. Given the oil resources in Venezuela foreign investment should begin to restore their economy in short order. Argentina president Meili would be a good advisor in their restructuring the economy.
Most of that should apply in the USA..........
Pablo Escobar had a similar arrangement in Colombia until he decided he didn’t want to any longer
Denationalize the oil industries and instigate reparations to auS oil companies.
U.S.
Venezuela is much like Ukraine.....the corruption is like the stripes on a tiger. Corruption deeply imbedded straight on up to the top “ leadership”.
Number 2) Socialism and Communism breeds poverty, which breeds corruption.

LOL! Venezuela is propped up by Vlad’s corruption
LOL! As long as the pay is right!
“Number 2) Socialism and Communism breeds poverty, which breeds corruption.”
90% of Russian workers earn less than $14,400 per year.
It would be even more if not for the high pay to the military grunts.
1) Federal court grants writ of habeas corpus and dismisses indictment of Maduro
2) Existing government of Venezuela declares loyalty to Maduro and demands his return at UN Security Council Meeting
3) Venezuelan armed forces declare loyalty to el Presidente Maduro
4) US Supreme Court declares detention of Maduro after indictments dismissed illegal.
5) Your guess is as good as mine.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
