U.S. Executes Operation to Capture Maduro in Venezuela
Operation Absolute: The Capture of Nicolas Maduro
In recent months, American agents have monitored every move of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. A small team, including a source from the Venezuelan government, tracked his sleeping habits, diet, clothing, and even, according to military officials, his "pets." In December, a meticulously planned mission called "Operation Absolute" was finalized, stemming from months of careful planning and rehearsals, which included creating an exact replica of Maduro's residence. The plan represented an exceptional military intervention by the United States in Latin America, a rare occurrence since the Cold War, and was kept secret without congressional consultation.
After all details were established, military officials awaited optimal conditions to launch the attack, aiming to maximize the element of surprise. President Donald Trump approved the mission a few days prior, but the strategy was postponed for more favorable weather. At 10:46 PM EST, orders were issued, and the mission commenced.
The action was large-scale, unfolding on land, sea, and air for two hours and twenty minutes, shocking not only Washington but the entire world. Brazilian President Lula da Silva condemned the violent capture of the Venezuelan leader, warning that this precedent is extremely dangerous for the international community.
Trump watched the operation from his Mar-a-Lago club, accompanied by the CIA director and Secretary of State. Thousands of American soldiers had been deployed in the region, and over 150 aircraft were utilized during the night. Explosions echoed from Caracas, and thick smoke rose above the city. This attack was coordinated to maximize efficiency, and elite Delta Force troops entered Maduro's residence, encountering armed resistance. The capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, was successfully achieved, with both expected to face justice in New York.
