This is from a foreign news source

Update: we apparently just kidnapped Maduro. And his wife.

From the Jerusalem Post:

“
In a post on Truth Social, US President Trump stated that the US had "successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country."

Colombian President Gustavo Petroconfirmed reports of explosions and military operations taking place in Venezuela and called for emergency Organization of American States (OAS) and UN meetings on Saturday morning.

Look for China to take action against Taiwan.

The world has been destabilized by our actions.

So, what is going to happen in Iran after DJT's threat and now the military action in Venezuela?

We'll see how the stock market reacts on Monday morning. The Venezuelan people appear to be very bullish, but yeah, this could have an impact.

A jaw dropping (Pre-Maduro Kidnapping) interview with Daniel Di Martino, a Venezuelan‑born economist, writer, and activist.

If you believe half of what this guys says, then we might wonder why the free press never reports the truth.

Here's another interview on CNN from 6 years ago, even back then he was asking for help.

One thing he referenced was definitely not accurate. The story about Venezuelans allegedly taking over an apartment building in Aurora, CO has been debunked. I live in the Denver/Aurora area. It's simply not true.

Sixteen Venezuelan nationals, all suspected members of TdA, were taken into custody at the Edge of Lowry apartments in 2024 shortly after a viral video showing armed men entering one of the units in the complex.

Trump links Venezuelan gang activity in Aurora to Maduro

President Donald Trump on Saturday accused Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of sending violent gangs to terrorize U.S. communities, specifically naming Colorado.

I didn't read that story as a debunking...

After the hearing, Aurora police chief Chamberlain said he believed that members of Tren de Aragua were part of the problem there, noting that federal authorities say seven of the suspects in the kidnapping and assault are members of the gang. However, Chamberlain said gang members had not taken over the complex and emphasized that the main problem was the lack of management and oversight by the property’s owners.
