Breaking: Venezuela (globally & our homeland)…What Next?

First, our nation should be extraordinarily proud of the exquisite professionalism of our military, law enforcement and intelligence professionals. Their incredible teamwork in a chaotic / complex situation is second to none.

So What & What’s Next?

There will be time to evaluate the predicate for today’s action in the days ahead, but focus now must be placed on how to manage this complex situation.

The attention of the world is now focused on Venezuela, and threats can come from a variety of hostile actors.  

First, in Venezuela, we know that nature abhors a vacuum, and the decapitation of a foreign government can open the door to violence, international criminal organizations, and involvement of states outside our hemisphere.

No matter how bad the leadership of Venezuela has been (and it was horrific), it is always possible it could get even worse, and we must be sure it does not lead to anarchy.  

Our allies are watching for signals of American resolve.

Adversaries are searching for openings.

The American people need defined objectives.

All of the world’s hotspots need to be monitored, and our nation needs to focus on our vital national interests and our hemisphere first. 

Lastly, there could be direct consequences for U.S. national and homeland security. 

Americans need to be vigilant to any signs of the blowback that could occur here from those would want to destabilize our country. 

#AmericaFirst — I for one, look forward to hearing from our POTUS to see what direction we’re headed.

This is a very important and previous statement by Secretary Rubio.

Make no mistake, if you are doing harm to the safety and security of the United States, our elected leaders have every right to hunt you down and will.

The message to others today, both internationally and here at home, if you are working against the interests of our country, your days are numbered.

Superb overnight work by our military and intelligence forces.

President Trump calls in to FOX

President Trump- I’m proud to be an American

Sending a message

WATCH IN FULL: President Donald J. Trump's exclusive interview with FOX following the highly successful U.S. operation in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro:

"The team did an incredible job... There's no other country on Earth that can do such a maneuver."

"I've never seen anything like this. I was able to watch it in real time, and I watched every aspect of it," says POTUS on the U.S. capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

"It was amazing to see the professionalism — the quality of leadership... Amazing."

"Compare to this to Afghanistan, where we were a laughingstock all over the world. We're not a laughingstock anymore. We have the greatest military in the world — by far," says POTUS.

"The professionalism and the bravery... You almost couldn't hold to them back."

POTUS on Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum: "She's a good woman, but the cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico — the cartels are running Mexico."

Q:"What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have that he can face American justice?"

POTUS: "We're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it and just take over where he left off."

POTUS: "Sending prisoners and people from mental institutions and drug lords — they sent them by the hundreds of thousands... and that is just unforgivable. That's why he wanted to negotiate at the end and I didn't want to negotiate. I said, 'Nope. We gotta do it.'"

"These are weak, stupid people," says POTUS on Democrat complaints of Maduro's capture.

"It's the same old stuff that we've been hearing for years and years... You hear from some congressman saying, 'Oh, this is so terrible.' We're saving lives."

POTUS: "We were prepared to do a second wave. We were all set — and this was so lethal, this was so powerful, that we didn't have to... We were out there with an armada like nobody's ever seen before."

POTUS on his discussions with Maduro in recent weeks: "I said, 'You have to give up. You have to surrender' — and he was close, but in the end, we had to do something that was really much more surgical, much more powerful... This was a very important symbol."

POTUS on Maduro loyalists: "If they stay loyal, the future is really bad, really bad for them... They have American flags being waved on the streets, so I think he's got very little support. He was a dictator that the people hated."

POTUS says Maduro and his wife were first taken to the USS Iwo Jima:

"They're on a ship, and they'll be heading into New York... They went by helicopter on a nice flight. I'm sure they loved it."

POTUS on the moment Maduro was captured:

"He was in a house that was more like a fortress than a house. It had steel doors, it had what they call a safety space where it's solid steel... He was trying to get into it, but he got bum rushed so fast that he didn't."

"WE HAVE THE GREATEST MILITARY IN THE WORLD BY FAR..." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

The White House

President Trump says Venezuela’s “election” of Maduro was just as rigged as 2020.

“It wasn’t a hell of a lot worse than what they did to us in 2020.” True! Because they used the same tactics and same system https://x.com/realLizUSA/status/2007482310065791040/video/1

Powerful testimonial.

NOW - Maduro lands at Stewart International Airport in New York, surrounded by federal agents, some capturing him on their phones, reports say he will be helicoptered to the city, where he will be processed and then transported to the Metropolitan Detention Center prison.

@disclosetv

NEW: Nicolás Maduro and his wife will be moved to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

It’s important to note, that the person closest to Trump throughout this operation, was CIA Director Ratcliffe.

Maduro was a CIA/Deep State asset.

I think Trump is signaling the house has been cleaned and the CIA has returned to its intended function. In addition, I think Trump is undoing the damage the CIA has been used to do over the last 78 years around the world. The Deep State network is being dismantled.

Trump did the same thing with Iran. Who enabled and paid Iran to make nukes? Obama via the Iran Deal. Neutralizing Iran’s nuclear capabilities was Trump cleaning up another Deep State mess created by past administrations.

Trump knows where all the Deep State assets and proxies are, and he is uprooting them.

It’s actually happening. Trump is obliterating the Deep State!

Over the years, the CIA created a vast global network of proxies and racketeering playgrounds via regime change and destabilization.

Trump and his team now control the CIA.

Meaning Trump and his team have the Deep State network mapped out, and thus they know how to destroy it.

I think that’s what we have been witnessing with Iran, Hamas/ISIS, Ukraine, and now Venezuela. All CIA/Deep State proxies that are being neutralized and returned to the People as a sovereign nation, free of CIA influence.

I also think Elon and DOGE played an important role of finding all the information and mapping out the network.

Trump is destroying the global CIA/Deep State network that JFK tried to expose. This is what saving the world looks like.

WATCH LIVE: President Trump holds news conference after US forces capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro:

"At my direction, the United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation in the capital of Venezuela... This was one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history."

"No nation in the world could achieve what America achieved yesterday... all Venezuelan military capacities were rendered powerless as the men and women of our military, working with U.S. law enforcement, successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night."

"I want to thank the men and women of our military... These highly trained warriors, operating in collaboration with U.S. law enforcement, caught them in a very ready position... They were completely overwhelmed and very quickly incapacitated."

"We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition."

"As everyone knows, the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust for a long period of time... We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, and start making money for the country."

"The illegitimate dictator Maduro was the kingpin of a vast criminal network... responsible for the deaths of countless Americans," says POTUS.

"Maduro and his wife will soon face the full might of American justice and stand trial on American soil."

"The gangs that they sent raped, tortured, and murdered American women and children... they were sent by Maduro to terrorize our people, and now, Maduro will never again be able to threaten an American citizen or anybody from Venezuela."

"Venezuela unilaterally seized and stole American oil, American assets, and American platforms, costing us billions and billions of dollars... This constituted one of the largest thefts of American property in the history of our country."

"Other Presidents may have lacked the courage — or whatever — to defend America, but I will never allow terrorists or criminals to operate with impunity against the United States."

POTUS on Venezuela's hostilities: "All of these actions were in gross violation of the core principles of American foreign policy dating back two centuries... all the way back to the Monroe Doctrine... they now call it the Donroe Doctrine."

"We're going to make sure it's run properly. We're going to rebuild the oil infrastructure... We're going to make sure the people that were forced out of Venezuela by this thug are also taken care of."

POTUS on Colombian President Gustavo Petro: "He's making cocaine. They're sending it into the United States — so he does have to watch his ass."
