This article managed to avoid the predictable cheering/condemnation that has so far captured much of the alternative media. There are no good guys in the Game of Thrones. From Erkin Oncan at strategic-culture.su:
Will this Bolivarian country be integrated into the “Trump system” through a U.S.-backed “democratic transition,” along with its resources?
A historic night that completely reshaped the balance of power in South America has unfolded. Following a large-scale air operation carried out by the U.S. military, it was announced that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and taken out of the country.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that during the operation to capture Maduro and his wife, an American helicopter was damaged and several Delta Force soldiers were injured. Reuters, meanwhile, reported – citing two sources familiar with the operation – that the CIA had a source inside the Venezuelan government who helped track Maduro and identify his location.
According to the same two sources speaking to Reuters, the CIA maintained an asset within the Venezuelan government, and this individual assisted in monitoring Nicolás Maduro and pinpointing his whereabouts.
CNN, for its part, claimed that Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were “captured while asleep” and were “dragged out of their bedrooms by U.S. forces.”
Following Maduro’s abduction, Trump made live televised remarks, his most striking statement being: “We will run Venezuela.”
Claiming that Maduro was a “cartel leader,” Trump also said that the United States would take control of Venezuela’s oil sector and that “money would begin flowing into the country.”
What happened?
Venezuelans awoke to the sound of explosions in the early hours of Saturday, January 3, 2026, around 02:00 local time. According to information reflected in local media, explosions occurred in four states, including the capital, Caracas.
According to American media, U.S. President Donald Trump held a national security meeting one day before the attacks on Venezuela.
