Early days. The American freaks have actually hit Venezuela. Looks like they tried for a decapitation strike. Vietnam took no prisoners when fighting off the French. I saw some video from the headcam of an American in Kursk. Tyhe American unit were all downed and a single Russian storm trooper came through finishing off the wounded with a pistol. The one with the headcam held up his hand and said Amerikanski. The Russian just pointed and fired and the headcam flopped into the grass. That is the way to deal with Americans.

🇺🇸🇻🇪A few hours before the American attack, Venezuelan President Maduro met with Xi Jinping’s special envoy.
It’s unclear whether the Chinese delegation managed to leave Caracas before the start of the American strike.
At the moment, this is the last video of Nicolas Maduro in public on the eve of the American raid.

“Heroic people of Venezuela! Soldiers of the Fatherland! Sons and daughters of Bolívar!
The Bolivarian National Armed Forces inform the entire world that in the early hours of January 3, 2026, the Venezuelan people became the target of the most criminal military aggression by the government of the United States.
Honor, duty, and history call upon us. Let the cry of a free Fatherland echo in every corner. Victory is ours, because reason and dignity stand with us. We will prevail.”
Defense Minister of Venezuela Vladimir Padrino López on Facebook

In the event that Maduro is indeed captured, the new leader of Venezuela will be Vice President Delsi Rodríguez. The armed forces continue to be led by Padrino López. Both are Chavistas.

  Colombian President Petro Condemns Aggression Against Venezuela, Calls for Dialogue and UN Action
Colombian President Gustavo Petro said the government had convened an emergency National Security Council meeting in the early hours of the morning in response to escalating tensions involving Venezuela.
 
Petro announced the deployment of security forces to Colombia’s border and the mobilization of humanitarian resources in preparation for a possible influx of refugees. He also confirmed that Colombia’s embassy in Venezuela is fully operational and assisting Colombian nationals in the country.
 
As a member of the UN Security Council, Petro said Colombia is pushing for an urgent meeting of the Council to address the situation.
 
In his statement, Petro firmly rejected any act of aggression against Venezuela’s sovereignty, warning that such actions also threaten the broader stability of Latin America. He stressed that internal conflicts must be resolved by the people themselves through peaceful means, invoking the principle of self-determination enshrined in the United Nations system.
 
Petro concluded by urging Venezuelans to pursue dialogue, unity, and peaceful solutions, arguing that sovereignty is inseparable from nationhood and that sustained dialogue is the only viable path forward.

The West is consolidating its colonial capitalistic power. Nobody can help these small countries.  Russia and China are too weak to do that. It turns out that Venezuelan army was terribly corrupted. The USA has enough money to buy anybody.What happened to Maduro today can tomorrow happen to Putin or Xi.

It can’t happen to Putin or Xi because Putin & Xi are playing chess while the US plays checkers.

Knowing how those ‘elite’ US clowns fucked up and got trashed in Mogadishu and lost 4 helicopters this sounds unlikely knowing the Venezuela has better defenses.   
Saying a leader fled, died or captured before the facts is often used to get the local opposition to revolt.  
Sure they probably bombed a lot from a safe distance, it’s what these coward scum do.

What if you are the only one playing chess? Hence, nobody even no the rules of chess. The chess players keep losing. They sound like gamblers, just one more spin to win it all. While checkers are arming and training Taiwan the chess player does nothing. I’m a chess player, I think 20 steps ahead, first goal is not to lose your pieces or sacrifice one to take more of your opponent. If you keep losing pieces and your opponent gets in a better and stronger position you suck at playing chess. Worst, you are not even playing a chess player, but a checker player. You are losing against checkers!

Nothing from Maduro so I assume Maduro has been captured or killed. If he has been captured, he will be killed after a US show trial.
 
It seems that now the Brits have blocked any chance of a Trump peace deal with Russia,l he is going all in for the oil. He met with Kissinger a lot prior to and into his first term.  He wanted to do a deal with Russia and separate Russia from China an that held him back from other aspirations. So now we watch the violence of disaster capitalism imploding.

“Despite several reports coming from the US, the claims of the kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife are pretty inverosímiles.
 
Defense minister gave statements to the press a few minutes ago and he did not mentioned anything of the sorts. And sources close to Maduro just informed that he is safe and sound.
 
This might be a disinformation campaign aiming at pushing him to commit the tiniest mistake in order to kill him. We need to be on alert!”

Maybe Putin can study this and learn how to do a real “Special Military Operation” in a neighbouring country. Trump has accomplished more in one night in Venezuela than Putin has accomplished in four years in Ukraine. When he had Kiev surrounded in February 2022 he could have gone in and finished off the American coup-installed regime. Instead he decided to do another one of his infamous “gestures of good will” and remove any threat of overthrowing the regime, while also giving a guarantee to Israel that Zelensky would not be harmed.
We see how that “goodwill” has been reciprocated. Russia has been fighting for four years and has accomplished virtually nothing other than getting huge numbers of ordinary people killed on both sides. Meanwhile Zelensky and the other jewish criminals continue making billions off the war they started in 2014 while suffering absolutely no consequences. And the idiots here say that this is some kind of 5D chess. That a war of attrition (the same strategy used in the first world war which led to the Tsar being overthrown and executed along with his entire family), was the smart way to fight and would pay off in the end. We’re still waiting. They haven’t even managed to liberate Donbass in four years! What a genius strategy!
Nobody ever explained how you’re going to win a war of attrition against an enemy that has an endless supply of manpower who can be dragged off the streets to fight against you, and an endless supply of foreign weapons being sent in to equip them. This has once again highlighted the incredible weakness, indecisiveness and incompetence of the Russian Government when it comes to fighting wars against the anglo-jewish empire and its proxies, as if Syria didn’t already do that. It’s time to stop the wishful thinking and look at reality. You can call me a troll but you can’t deny that I’m right. I wish I wasn’t…

Posted by: Jo | Jan 3 2026 10:54 utc | 92

In my lifetime, the US to all intents and purposes, overthrew the People’s Democracies (all of them) in the 1980s and replaced them with pro-US client regimes, then overthrew the USSR in 1992. They they overthrew socialist Yugoslavia and split it into 4 warring statelets. Then they destroyed Afghanistan (a rare ‘L’ for the Yanks), then Iraq, then Libya, then Syria (all of them socialist more or less secular states) at the same time as running a huge number of ‘colour’ (i.e. ‘not’) ‘revolutions’, which overthrew a huge number of ‘pro-Russian’ states and replaced them with pro-US client regimes. Then they, with the help of Israel, defeated Hezbollah and Hamas, and have now destroyed Venezuela. Cuba will now almost certainly fall.
Iran, then Russia and finally China will be next.
