US Military Operation in Venezuela: Maduro Captured Amid Global Outcry

In a bold and controversial move, the United States has conducted a military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, resulting in significant civilian casualties. Venezuelan officials report that around 100 lives were lost during the operation, which has drawn condemnation from UN experts who label it as aggression and an illegal intervention. Political analysts warn that this move could pose profound implications for global security and may challenge the dynamics within the Republican party. The operation, dubbed ‘Operation Absolute Resolve,’ reportedly involved advanced tactics, including the use of drones and intelligence gathering, to apprehend Maduro. The aftermath of the operation has left the country in turmoil, raising critical questions about the future leadership in Venezuela and the broader geopolitical landscape, particularly in relation to Russian and Chinese interests. As reactions pour in from various sectors, Trump remains adamant, declaring the U.S. in charge of Venezuelan affairs, while the international community watches closely.
