US military action around Venezuela

[GoatsMilk]

Fishy,very fishy.
Why Maduro and ..... his wife?
Looks more like a way to get out for Maduro.
No words from Russia or China,why not?

most politicians are extreme grifting parasites, Maduro was probably made a deal too good to refuse by the USA.

I don't think that this donkey made any deal. He is too dumb and too low ranking to do that.
I have said it many times here, someone needs to understand the psychology, instincts, cultural background etc to know certain things. Also , the knowledge of the real historian is essential.
Even ex British Prime Minister Lizz Truss said a few months ago that it is not The Prime Ministerial office that runs the country. If she says so ,then who am I to say it differently?
Maduro is topical 3rd word donkey. Charmed with the position and chair , money need not to play the main role. Look at example of Somaliland . Donkey Sheykh with that stupid hat has now country and for some time he would believe that he is is doing something useful for the people or he would comfort himself with that idea. Etc etc.
Donkey Maduro has no brain like that Cartel loving Jewess in Mexico.
She is on much higher level of initiation .
Of course as soon as she appeared and knowing the political history of Mexico, I knew the score.
I have no doubt that the various populists , naturally including stupid Islamists, will lear all the wrong lessons from this.
You can always hear how the Westerners are living from African riches, though there is not a single African country in the top 10 of the value of the world resources ( Venezuela is 10th).
People don't want to know that 25 years ago Iran was 20% richer than Turkey but today Turkey is about 4 times richer than Iran, despite Iran being 5th on the list of the world resources.
Anyway, I must say I kind of enjoy this little miniature, especially the cries of blue haired ladies, make my day.
China? Hahahaha, stashing pretty penny under the carpet and hoping to take over? Their noise wouldn't help the business, nor the piggy pot .
Russians??? Have they ever been useful or kept their word??? Hahahaha. Besides of this simple facts there are others too.
Now , off I go to Portobello and Soho in order to annoy the local Bohemians. Hahahaha, I am going to have great day. Tonight I will have my time with C u nty Islamists. I am loving this

When i study history going back through all the ancient civilisations, or looking at things like the druids of england. The general conclusion i came to that in all old civilisations and empires there existed a "priesthood" class who were the real power behind the throne. From the Pharaohs to the Kings. All in most cases were probably just puppets of these priesthoods.

Today that priesthood is basically a nations "deep state", that deep state is probably controlled by the various fraternal organisations that hold the most sway within a nation, in England i have no doubts that the deep state today is dominated by freemasonry. A great book that exposes how freemasonry dominates every single important institution within the UK is the brotherhood by Stephen knight. In that book he shows you how the intelligences agencies, the police, the government, the major criminal networks are all part of the same club.

Today the voted leader is largely a mechanism to fool the people into thinking they are free or that their decision matters. This is why i say to Turks that look at all the leaders that have come and gone in the west, yet the pkk agenda, the zionist agenda has not changed at all. And from my own studies Zionism is basically an instrument of British imperial policy.

Turkiye needs nuclear, chemical and biological weapons if it wants to protect and safeguard its independance.

End of story.

Prior to Bronze Age and till Middle Ages humans used to covet what the next village had. The instinctive drive to have more than they had used to propel them to attack the neighbouring villages and capturing their possessions including their women. In a positive way, this allowed gene pool to diversify. But the ingrained will in our genes to possess more, has been the main culprit of all evil. Rulers used religion to support their insatiable appetite for power and riches.

The village skirmishes of that era has transformed in to global wars now. But in its core it is still the same drive.

Conquest of empires to Gulf wars, Venezuelan war, Ukraine etc etc . The simple man is coerced in to fighting for the grabbing of power and riches of a neighbour for his ruler or a clandestine group. Romans, Dynasties of the East, Genghiz Empire, Habsburgs and Ottomans all had the same notion. Then in more modern times; East India Company, the oil trusts, Bilderberg Group etc etc.

This is no more than modern day banditry and thuggery.

Potential victims or victim states try to protect themselves by improving their military prowess. But if the bandit is too powerful, then you have no chance.

Only thing we can wish for is, we don’t destroy the human race at the end of it all.

Well, by the age of 30 months, human develops the sense that something belongs to him or her. So it is obvious what is the nature of human and obvious nonsense of utopian Ideal, which are basically inhuman concepts.
The concepts that, that clear concept which is by the way very clear in the natural world too, renders socialist Ideals nonesencical. In any case those ideal which have been promoted by the people of " reason" has the roots in none official religious movements, in other words the sects, Almost never in , in the lack of better term, Imperial religion.
I am a sectarian for a reason .
As Hz Ali RA said " 100 years of the tyranny is better than a day of anarchy". He was qualified more than anyone to assess things like that. He was basically warning his supporters about their own actions.
Or in his words " Wallahi, I would change 10 of you ( his supporters) for 1 Muawiya supporter" .
It is hilarious, how many people talking now about Venezuelan riches , usually in the style like it is the only motivation.
Of course it's one of the reason but in any case, people of Venezuela will be better off but the main reason is , USA won't tolerate the games in their own backyard. No real power can allow that. It is also the signal to the pretenders " Oh , you are still small boys".
All of it is absolutely natural and usual acts of the great powers. Oil? Yes , but it is secondary thing in this issue. Turks are Imperial people, they should understand this. I believe that Turkey is trying to at least, locally play this game, we will see , how it will turn out.
I really when I was in Margarita Island, a lot of Lebanese there. Usually nice people, they were all pro Chavez. I guess, Chávez was against Israel and it appealed to them.
Also on Margarita Island was a single Bosnian ex Nazi family, they hated Chávez, of course they didn't like as they put it Jewish schemes but they knew what was the score.
Afterall,, Bosnians had to leave Bosnia because they were notty during ww2 , but Lebanese were there for Shawarma business.
That's a massive difference.
Hahahaha, China and Russia reminde me of bears, big bodies but truly small D s

A video of a combat mission involving an American helicopter, presumably a Bell AH-1Z Viper, has been released in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas. Judging by the video, Venezuelan air defenses and air force are offering no resistance, suggesting, according to media reports, an elite conspiracy within the country. A destroyed Venezuelan Buk-M2E air defense system, manufactured in Russia and never used by the military, was recorded at the Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base. According to the latest reports, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured on Saturday morning by Delta Force, an elite US Army special forces unit.

From a Turkish perspective we need to be able to end the enemy should they attempt to end us. If everything has to go with it then so be it. What we cant allow is for our people to be annihilated while the enemy continues to exist.

 

[Afif]

Welp, there it is.

Seems a pretty large air cav assault is underway with Chinooks, Apaches and Ospreys.

They are hitting military installations hard, time on target is impressive as usual.

Yep, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment has put on a show like COD modern warfare 3.

U.S. Will Now “Run” Venezuela After Maduro Capture: Trump (Updated)​

Many new details are emerging about the operation to capture Maduro, and here's what we know.

S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife were flown first to the U.S. Navy’s Wasp class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima following their capture overnight. TWZ had highlighted the high likelihood that the Iwo Jima had played a central role in last night’s operation in our initial reporting, where readers can otherwise first get up to speed on the details that are known so far.

Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump and his cabinet provided new details about the mission to capture Maduro that was dubbed Operation Absolute Resolve.

Trump said the U.S. will “stay” in Venezuela and run the country for an unspecified amount of time.

“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. So we don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years,” he said. “So we are going to run the country until such time is we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition, and it has to be judicious, because that’s what we’re all about. We want peace, liberty and justice for the great people of Venezuela, and that includes many from Venezuela that are now living in the United States and want to go back to their countries, their homeland.”

“We’re talking to people,” Trump said. “We’re designating various people. Those people would run Venezuela. It’s largely going to be for a period of time, the people that are standing right behind me, we’re going to be running it. We’re going to be bringing it back.”

Trump was referring to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force Gen. Dan Caine and Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller.

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez was sworn in to take Maduro’s place, Trump added.

“But she was, as you know, picked by Maduro,” Trump noted. “So Marco is working on that directly. Just had a conversation with her, and she’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela Great Again, very simple.”

The president added that the U.S. will rebuild Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.

“The infrastructure is rotted. It’s actually very dangerous. It’s a blow-up territory,” Trump explained. “Oil is very dangerous. It’s a very dangerous thing to take out of the ground. Can kill a lot of people. It has killed a lot of people doing just that. The infrastructure is old. It’s rotted. Much of it is stuff that we put there 25 years ago, and we’re going to be replacing it, and we’re going to take a lot of money out so that we can take care of the country.”

Caine laid out how the five-hour mission to capture Maduro took place. The mission was months in planning.

Trump ordered the operation to unfold at 10:46 p.m. Eastern time.

“This was an audacious operation that only the United States could do,” Caine said. “It required the utmost of precision and integration within our joint force. And the word integration does not explain the sheer complexity of such a mission, an extraction so precise it involved more than 150 aircraft launching across the western hemisphere in close coordination, all coming together in time and place to layer effects for a single purpose, to get an interdiction force into downtown Caracas while maintaining the element of tactical surprise.”

“Aircraft began launching from 20 different bases on land and sea across the western hemisphere,” Caine explained. “In total, more than 150 aircraft, bombers, fighters, intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, rotary wing were in the air last night. Thousands and thousands of hours of experience were airborne.”

“As the night began, the helicopters took off with the extraction force, which included law enforcement officers, and began their flight into Venezuela at 100 feet above the water. As they approach Venezuelan shores, the United States began layering different effects provided by SPACECOM, CYBERCOM and other members of the interagency to create a pathway overhead. Those forces were protected by aircraft from the United States Marines, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force, and the Air National Guard. The force included F-22s, F-35s, F-18s, EA-18s, E-2s and B-1 bombers and other support aircraft, as well as numerous remotely piloted drones.”

“As the Force began to approach Caracas, the joint Air Component began dismantling and disabling the air defense systems in Venezuela, employing weapons to ensure the safe passage of the helicopters into the target area,” Caine pointed out. “The goal of our air component is, was, and always will be to protect the helicopters and the ground force and get them to the target and get them home. As the force crossed the last point of high terrain where they’ve been hiding in the clutter, we assessed that we had maintained totally the element of surprise. As the helicopter force ingress towards the objective at low level, we arrived at Maduro’s compound at 1:01 am Eastern Standard Time or 2:01 am Caracas time.”

“The apprehension force descended into Maduro’s compound and moved with speed, precision and discipline towards their objective and isolated the area to ensure the safety and security of the ground force while apprehending the indicted persons. On arrival into the target area, the helicopters came under fire, and they replied with that fire with overwhelming force and self-defense. One of our aircraft was hit, but remained flyable, and as the President said earlier today, all of our aircraft came home, and that aircraft remained pliable during the rest of the mission.”

“As the operation unfolded at the compound, our air and ground intelligence teams provided real-time updates to the ground force, ensuring those forces could safely navigate the complex environment without unnecessary risk, the force remained protected by overhead tactical aviation,” according to Caine. “Maduro and his wife, both indicted, gave up and were taken into custody by the Department of Justice, assisted by our incredible U.S. military with professionalism and precision with no loss of U.S. life. After securing the indicted persons, the force began to prep for departure. Helicopters were called in to exfiltrate the extraction force, while fighter aircraft and remotely piloted aircraft provided overhead coverage and suppressive fire. There were multiple self-defense engagements as the Force began to withdraw out of Venezuela. The force successfully exfiltrated and returned to their afloat launch bases, and the force was over the water at 3:29 am, Eastern Standard Time, with indicted persons on board and both Maduro and his wife were embarked aboard the USS Iwo Jima.”

Maduro and his wife attempted to flee to a safe room before being captured, Trump stated.

“It could have happened,” Trump said when asked if the troops were prepared to kill Maduro if he resisted. “He was trying to get into a safe place … the safe place’s all steel, and he wasn’t able to make it to the door because our guys were so fast. They went through the opposition so fast. It was a lot of opposition, you know … There was a lot of gunfire. You saw some of it today. But he was trying to get to a safe place.”

As for other potential ‘targets’ in the region, Cuba was discussed openly during the presser. Secretary of State Rubio put Cuba’s leadership on notice, stating “Cuba is a familiar nation. It’s very similar … If I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned.”

Maduro himself has turned his country into a theater, where he is the star. This has long been known. Trump, however, has simply pulled back the curtain on this theater called Venezuela, exposing this clown in pajamas for all to see.
