The United States hit Venezuela with a “large-scale strike” early Saturday and said its president, Nicolás Maduro, had been captured and flown out of the country after months of stepped-up pressure by Washington — an extraordinary nighttime operation announced by President Donald Trump on social media hours after the attack. Multiple explosions rang out and low-flying aircraft swept through Caracas, the capital, as Maduro's government immediately accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations.
Thing is, will it? The Venezuelan state still seems to be running itself, with vice president and ministers still occupying their posts. Maduro himself isn’t some embodiment of PSUV and the party can continue existing and governing without him.
Simply kidnapping Maduro without leaving behind boots on ground does very little besides intimidation. That can work for extracting concessions, but not for ruling a country. Either the rumoured second attack is coming soon or this might be negotiation tactics for full privatisation of the oil but leaving the government be.
I wouldn’t trust Rubio until any evidence comes out of Venezuela. There’s no official confirmation of her being sworn in as president (official outlets still refer to her as vice president, which is how it legally works) and she’s still a proponent of Chavismo. At any rate, even if she turns coat there’ll at least be a power struggle with PSUV, specially with the MoD announcing full scale mobilisations.
So, did they really managed their coup? Like the whole hope is lost, and all the build up was for nothing? (Like all the equipment that were bought, all the people, etc).
Im having a mental breakdown over this circus of the world and i wanna hear someone killing imperialism along with its soldiers

I agree, they want to start some sort of civil war by capturing Maduro and running a parallel goverment likely with the nobel prize witch.

Delcy Rodriguez seems alive and well, and not enthused with collaboration with the US.

Edit:
As I wrote that, there was an update
Vicepresidenta de Venezuela: «aquí hay un solo presidente, y se llama Nicolás Maduro»
Trump can claim whatever he likes, he is not the arbitor of truth.

The US will not say anything that remotely seems like a weakness so take with a grain of salt whatever their parrots in suits say.
