US Airstrikes on Venezuela (Maduro captured).
Thought this should be its own thread.

Eyewitnesses report particularly heavy and ongoing sounds of explosions in Fuerte Tiuna, a sprawling military base in the center of Caracas that is home to Venezuela’s top brass and many senior government officials
Quote:
President Nicolás Maduro accused the United States of carrying out military attacks against Venezuela, in a statement released by Venezuela’s communications ministry. Venezuela “rejects, repudiates, and denounces” U.S. military aggression in the capital of Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira, it said.
Hopefully a one day thing or #### could hit the fan.

It's been obvious for a while Trump really wants to waive his military dick around.
Better Venezuela than Canada I guess?

I hope the U.S. fails catastrophically in this military endeavor.

The EU, Australia and Canada will come out shortly and condemn this invasion by the US of a sovereign nation.

Yep 'Mission Accomplished' you might say, I have no doubt turning Venezuela into a Spanish speaking version of Texas (well slightly more Spanish speaking) will be as easy and long lasting as the last time they tried, time for a look back down memory lane I guess

So it appears they sent in a Delta/Seal team who have captured Maduro, so that isn't overthrowing the regime, the regime is still there, I mean their might be a popular uprising but the military may just stay in power

Watching the sheer amount of explosions I wonder how many innocent lives were lost in Trumps latest distraction.

Whatever it takes to keep all that oil, I mean drugs off the streets.
