They got him. The nightmare of Nicolas Maduro’s illegitimate, murderous regime in Venezuela and the untold hundreds of thousands who have died at the hands of the lethal drugs pouring in from the South American narco-terrorist state has mercifully come to an end. After the daring capture of Maduro and his wife in the dark of night, the question quickly turns to what will happen next in once-prosperous Venezuela and, most importantly, how the success of this breathtaking military and law enforcement operation will change the geopolitics of not just the western hemisphere, but the entire world.

SHOCK AND AWE

This action was bold as brass. It will be debated for years if not decades to come – its likelihood was discussed on Liberty Nation News as long as four months ago. Brett Velicovich, a former U.S. Army intelligence and special operations soldier, articulated about the purpose and execution of the historic mission on Fox News: “What we just witnessed is Venezuela, the collapse of a regime that survived for years on corruption, fear, terrorism. Maduro didn’t just govern his country. He turned a once-wealthy nation into a narco-terrorist state, he exported incivility across the region, and he hid behind sovereignty while bleeding his own people dry. And I think the explosions [Friday] night are just the sounds of justice finally catching up to him and his cronies who have starved their people while lining their pockets with drug money and illicit oil deals.”

Trump stated that the roughly three dozen drug boats from Venezuela that he has blown up in recent weeks were each carrying enough fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin to kill, on average, 25,000 people. To place in full perspective the ultimate purpose of Trump’s audacious mission, fentanyl overdose has become the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45, surpassing COVID-19, car accidents, cancer, and suicide.
