US invasion of Venezuela 2026


The sound of clanking leg shackles could be heard moments before Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro walked into the door of a New York City courtroom for the first time.

He then told packed rows of reporters and the public that he had just been "kidnapped".

Minutes after his entrance, the Judge Alvin Hellerstein asked Maduro to confirm his identity so the proceedings could start. "I am, sir, Nicolás Maduro. I am president of the Republic of Venezuela and I am here kidnapped since January 3rd," he told the court in a calm Spanish before an interpreter translated for the court. "I was captured at my home in Caracas, Venezuela."

The 92-year-old judge quickly interjected to tell Maduro that there would be a "time and a place to get into all of this".

Heavy gunfire and reports of possible drone activity near Venezuela’s presidential palace triggered fresh security concerns in Caracas early on Tuesday, as the country remains on edge following the US-led operation that resulted in the capture and removal of President Nicolas Maduro.

Many individuals are waking up to the fact that no one in Europe can actually do pretty much anything when it comes to stopping DJT. Venezuela has made countries realise their actual standing when it comes to force related tactics.


I hope 'aman ki aasha' folks are taking notes as well (within GoI and outside as well).
 
My commiserations with le francais. Yours & the EU's entire narrative against Russia now lies blown apart . Time to sue for peace unlike what your policy has been till date of bleeding Russia dry while your economy goes down the drain.
As for now our economy is in a better shape than russian one.
And no need to discuss of peace : we are not in a war situation.

Bon, how do you see intra EU politics evolving from now on? Specially, with US' recent signalling over its priorities and whole immigration-economic debate within EU states. And factoring in different priorities of states within EU wrt China

I hope a real change as for immigration. Time after time most EU country will be driven by right or far right governments. UE will have to follow.
We can't see in the sole France see half a million immigrants, some not speaking french, some far from our way of living, some without any interesting knowledge coming each year.
About economy, the gap is more and more deep between US an EU. We will have to react. But I'm not optimistic.

Presumably you're waiting for it to reach Russian levels. Fair enough! Your economy, your decision.
And no need to discuss of peace : we are not in a war situation.
I see. If this no war no peace situation is draining EU if it's resources wonder what will a real war situation be like on your resources - man money or material . Then again your country your choices
 
Honestly, this guy is enjoying the last days of US hegemony. He knows there little gas left in the tank and no one's gonna allow them to hijack the station very soon. ( Pun? Irony? 😂)

So, he is utilising it to full. The resistance is already underway with visible shift in power balance. The next US prez is not gonna have it easy.

Basically, if you're a scumbag narco-terrorist dictator, with multiple human rights abuses, then you need to be sure that at least one of the following is true:

a) You are not a friend of Russia or China; or

b) You live in a worthless sh1t-hole.

This is clearly better than the adversaries' approach of, we'll remove you anyway and impose a sock-puppet dictator regardless of democratic status and absence of crimes if it's convenient to us, or inconvenient to our opponents.

Those are your two choices, pick one.

That said, I'm yet to be convinced there has been a regime change in Venezuela. What Trump says and what actually is, often bear no correlation.
I don't want to entertain you but how does removing a narco terrorist to install someone else from his cartel as the new mafia boss solves anything? Afterall Trump admin is backing the Chavezist or whatever they are called for now.

When has USA ever done these things out of some true kindness of their heart? They literally installed a ex-ISIS Jihadi as leader in Syria. They have installed ruthless dictators by removing democratically elected rulers in many countries as well. So, calm down shaktiman calm down your horses. Remember the goal of regime change isn't bringing democracy and freedom that is a farse it's bringing regime that align with USA's interest. As long as it obeys USA's commands the regime can do anything and nobody will bat an eye.

From what is actually happening, rather than what Trump is saying, there has been no change in regime or allegiances at this stage.

The last time the US removed a democratic leader was over 50 years ago during the Cold War. Sure, they don't bother removing an idiot unless it serves their interests these days though. Since the end of the Cold War, all leaders removed by the US, or countries military action was taken against, were dictatorial, the opposite is true for Russia. Most US allies are democracies, the opposite is true for Russia. Trump is an idiot though, he's what happens when social media displaces fact/truth.

Paddy sincerely here believes in the civlising mission of the west or the US in this case aka the white man's burden. He also believes that's exactly what the US is doing in Venezuela like what they did in Iraq , Afghanistan & Vietnam earlier , the French did in Indochina , the Spaniards in South America , the Dutch in Indonesia , the British in India & so on.

Being an equal opportunity offender he also believes that's exactly what the British did in the homeland of his ancestors - Paddyland. Brought civilization & rule of law to the unruly & barbaric Paddys there - the best thing to ever happen to the Paddys after St Patrick converted the Paddys to Xtianity & banished snakes from Paddyland ( no there weren't any English there in St Paddy's time ) , the introduction of potato to Paddyland etc.

That he happens to be a descendant of Irish collaborators in Ireland is no coincidence. It's part of his thinking , his upbringing & his genes. Hence the west is obligated to support Ukraine against Russia coz Russia is incapable of doing the same as the US & the west as listed in the various activities above .

In fact Russia is killing democracy since the Jewish comedian turned President was democratically elected. That his predecessor Yanukovych was ousted in a coup sponsored by the CIA where a senior State Department official Nuland was caught with her panties down is immaterial to the central theme of the plot - Russian attack on democracy.


Did it occur to you Paddy that the Venezuelan military was compromised & refused to confront the US during the kidnapping of Maduro such that these Chinese supplied radars weren't turned on instead of being the duds you think they're just coz the western media from which you get your information didn't report it as such instead portraying it as one hell of a brilliant US operation compared to what the Russians tried to implement vis a vis the Jewish comedian in Ukraine a few years earlier & failed , infected as they're with virus of Paddyfication ?

Must we kill ourselves dinning these facts into your useless head as understood in the rest of the world as opposed to how it is perceived in the west infected as it is with the Paddyfication virus ?

Didn't we ask you innumerable times to stick to technical issues or threads related to music food & beverages , silly jokes & movies instead of dabbling in threads dealing with politics , economics , foreign & strategic affairs , geo politics et al ?
