as expected, the psycho initiated her counter offensive.. this is getting messy.
meanwhile.. according to the veni constitution:
Si ocurre una “falta absoluta” del Presidente durante los primeros cuatro (4) años del período presidencial,
el Vicepresidente Ejecutivo asume como Presidente encargado y debe convocar elecciones presidenciales dentro de los 30 días consecutivos.
Si la falta absoluta ocurre en los últimos dos (2) años del período presidencial,
el Vicepresidente Ejecutivo asume y completa el período, sin convocar elecciones.

The bank recently hired 2,000 top grads from 200,000 applications, the executive said in an interview with CBS News‘ Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation. As companies cite AI for widespread layoffs, Moynihan acknowledges that many young people feel scared and uncertain about the future. |

i guess we are all following the same news... but something is not working here...
While Maduro is history... nothing seems to have changed in veni... the same old actors are in place...
No evidence of Delcy being sworn... Diosdado still in the news... Pdrino on X... The streets of Caracas under the control of the same police and the same military as before.
Borges, Guaido, Lopez, Ledezma.. nowhere to be seen... MCM still revolving under a bus.
Difficult to imagine US oils landing personnel in veni to take control of decrepit oil fields while there is still an air and sea blockade and US citizens continue to be under risk of being kidnapped or arrested.
As usual the military part is the easy one... what comes after is the difficult part....and the US track record in that front is very poor.

Following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Operation Absolute Resolve, OSINT and web chatter suggest a 60-70% likelihood of U.S. moves to "regularize" Cuba ...
|
|
01-04-26 spal
The U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, serves as a deliberate demonstration of American military prowess to adversaries, especially autocratic regimes. Executed with over 150 aircraft and Delta Force operators, the mission's precision and zero U.S. casualties highlight advanced capabilities, intelligence, and logistics. By publicizing details and framing it as a stand against "outlaw dictators," the Trump administration signals that no leader is beyond U.S. reach, echoing historical interventions like Noriega's capture.This act targets Maduro's defiance, backed by Russia, China, and Iran, and underscores a "peace through strength" policy amid escalating pressures on Venezuela.Geopolitically, it enhances deterrence, making autocrats like Putin or Xi more cautious in supporting proxies or challenging U.S. interests. It emboldens regional allies, potentially accelerating democratic transitions in Venezuela under U.S. oversight. However, risks include backlash from Latin American nations, accusations of imperialism, and asymmetric responses from foes, such as cyber attacks or fortified alliances. This shifts global calculus toward assertive U.S. unilateralism, but success hinges on a stable post-capture transition, with potential for heightened tensions if mishandled.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, aseguró este sábado que no desplegará tropas en Venezuela ni realizará nuevos ataques contra el país "si la vicepresidenta de Maduro (Delcy Rodríguez) hace lo que queremos".
En una entrevista con el tabloide New York Post, Trump afirmó que Estados Unidos no tendrá que desplegar soldados en suelo venezolano si Rodríguez, que en estos momentos está a cargo del gobierno venezolano, "hace lo que queremos".
Trump añadió que las fuerzas armadas de Estados Unidos están preparadas para lanzar una segunda oleada de ataques contra el país sudamericano "mucho mayor que la primera", durante la que se capturó a Nicolás Maduro y su esposa, Cilia Flores.
El presidente estadounidense también aseguró al tabloide que no tiene planes para intervenir militarmente en Cuba porque el régimen cubano "va a caer por sí solo".
"Cuba está en una situación muy mala. Cuba siempre ha dependido mucho de Venezuela. Es de dónde obtenían su dinero y protegían a Venezuela, pero no les funcionó muy bien en este caso", continuó. |

It took less than three hours and 150 aircraft, as well as months of planning, to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and bring him to New York for trial.
More than 150 US aircraft swept into the South American country after the US neutralized Venezuela’s air defenses, with an Army Delta Force unit delivered to the military base where Maduro was spending the night. They broke through the steel doors and grabbed him and his wife, before the couple was able to get to a safe room, spiriting them out on a helicopter to a warship to an FBI plane for a detention center in New York.
Meanwhile, the streets of Caracas remained quiet in contrast to their countrymen living abroad who celebrated the downfall of the autocrat who oversaw a devastating economic crisis. Caracas residents moved around cautiously and most businesses were closed as residents lined up for food and non-perishable goods. |

En la otra orilla política, el presidente argentino de ultraderecha, Javier Milei, opinó que la captura de Maduro "es una excelente noticia para el mundo libre". Por lo que celebró la intervención estadounidense y además aseguró que debería asumir el poder Edmundo González Urrutia, el candidato opositor que compitió en las elecciones presidenciales de 2024 contra Maduro.
Daniel Noboa, el presidente de Ecuador, fue contundente: "A todos los criminales narco chavistas les llega su hora. Su estructura terminará de caer en todo el continente", escribió en referencia a la propia lucha contra el narcotráfico que abandera en su país.
Desde Chile, el presidente electo, el ultraderechista José Antonio Kast, subrayó que la captura de Maduro es una "gran noticia para la región". Por lo que pidió a los gobiernos latinoamericanos "coordinar el regreso seguro y expedito de los venezolanos a su país".
En la misma línea, el presidente interino de Perú, José Jerí, dio la bienvenida a "una nueva era en democracia y libertad" en Venezuela. Además anunció que dará "facilidades" a los migrantes venezolanos "para su regreso inmediato sin importar su condición migratoria".
El presidente de Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz, sostuvo que su país está "al lado de la democracia" y que "la salida para Venezuela es respetar el voto".
Desde Panamá, el presidente José Raúl Mulino, también respaldó a González Urrutia como sucesor en la presidencia de Venezuela y pidió una "transición democrática".

La vicepresidenta Ejecutiva de la República, Delcy Rodríguez, ratificó este sábado que Nicolás Maduro sigue siendo el presidente del país, luego de que este fuera secuestrado la madrugada de este sábado tras una agresión de EE.UU.
"Exigimos la inmediata liberación de Nicolás Maduro y su esposa. Es el único presidente de Venezuela. Está el único alto mando militar (…) en las calles de Venezuela hay un pueblo activado por el país", dijo.
La vicepresidenta llamó al pueblo a mantenerse en calma y en fusión cívico-militar y policial. "Unidos como un solo cuerpo a defender a nuestra amada Venezuela", recalcó.
El Gobierno venezolano se pronunció este sábado luego del primer ataque aéreo perpetrado por EE.UU. contra la ciudad de Caracas "y los estados Miranda, Aragua y La Guaira", tildado como una "gravísima agresión militar".
"Este acto constituye una violación flagrante de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, especialmente de sus artículos 1 y 2, que consagran el respeto a la soberanía, la igualdad jurídica de los Estados y la prohibición del uso de la fuerza. Tal agresión amenaza la paz y estabilidad internacional, concretamente de América Latina y el Caribe, y pone en grave riesgo la vida de millones de personas", indica un comunicado oficial.
En el comunicado, Caracas advirtió que el objetivo de los ataques "no es otro que apoderarse de los recursos estratégicos de Venezuela, en particular de su petróleo y minerales, intentando quebrar por la fuerza la independencia política de la Nación".
Pese a las presiones, Venezuela advirtió a EE.UU.: "No lo lograrán. Tras más de doscientos años de independencia, el pueblo y su Gobierno legítimo se mantienen firmes en defensa de la soberanía y del derecho inalienable de decidir su destino. El intento de imponer una guerra colonial para destruir la forma republicana de gobierno y forzar un 'cambio de gestión', en alianza con la oligarquía fascista fracasará como todos los intentos anteriores".

Transition.. means the path between what was and what will be.
Maduro was at least nominally in charge until yesterday. He no longer is.
Trump said the US will rule Venezuela for some time. They still have some operatives on the ground, but are not governing Venezuela (as far as I understand).. hence the situation is in flux.
He said Rubio spoke with Delcy, who is supposedly "cooperating".

I am not sure a suitable political transition has been well planned.
Because there isn't one.
All according to Trump's conference...:
the transition will happen only after veni's oil industry has been rebuilt.
The whole purpose of this exercise is to bring veni's oil industry back from the dead.
US oils, who will pour billions into veni, will be the ones doing that.
Once the flow of funds is organized in such a way that the US is repaid (whatever that means) and the people of Venezuela benefits, a transition will be arranged.

Problems:
1) that plan could take years
2) bond creditors were not mentioned
3) the psycho will start tomorrow to gather support abroad to have this plan cancelled and the country handed over to her.

This comes as a surprise to Venezuela watchers. Rodríguez and her brother Jorge, who leads the country's National Assembly, have long been among the most ardent defenders of the Maduro government.
While it is conceivable that Rodríguez has agreed to co-operate with the Trump administration to save her own skin - Trump said he would be willing to carry out a second wave of strikes - she will not be seen as someone willing to implement change.

The capture was likely facilitated by local cooperation, based on multiple indicators from reports and chatter. This wasn't a purely unilateral U.S. action; elements suggest negotiated or insider-assisted elements:
Evidence of Facilitation:
Insider Intelligence: A CIA source within the Venezuelan government tracked Maduro's real-time location, enabling the precise Delta Force raid at his Fuerte Tiuna bedroom while asleep. This implies high-level betrayal or defection.
Negotiated Exit Narrative: Sources describe the capture as a "negotiated exit" involving Venezuelan opposition channels. Political/military elites may have directly engaged U.S. forces or opposition to remove Maduro, viewing him as a liability amid sanctions and pressure.
Lack of Resistance: No major firefight reported during the extraction; helicopters evacuated without interception, suggesting possible stand-down by guards or military. X posts mention regime "fear, fracture, and internal collapse," with defections (e.g., Bolivarian Aviation officer to U.S.) weakening loyalty.
Pre-Operation Context: U.S. offered Maduro "off ramps" (per VP Vance); opposition leader Machado welcomed U.S. action. Recent U.S. Treasury sanctions on 16 Maduro-aligned officials (Sep 2024) may have incentivized flips.

The U.S. is now deciding next steps for Venezuela, President Donald Trump said Saturday on Fox News, adding, “We’ll be involved in it very much.”
The legal authority for the attack was not immediately clear. The stunning American military action, which plucked a nation’s sitting leader from office, echoed the U.S. invasion of Panama that led to the surrender and seizure of its leader, Manuel Antonio Noriega, in 1990 — exactly 36 years ago Saturday. |

pt, one of the arguments has been comparing vz with panama during noriega.
using the doj charges as justification for arresting the president of the country.
in the case of panama, there was an actual invasion. the panama's armed forces were seen as the big losers.
guillermo endara was the oppo leader to noriega's candidate.
there were elections, under noriega, which endara won.
noriega refused to hand over power, the usa invaded, and endara was sworn in as president.
endara used this opportunity to dissolve panama's armed forces.
so far what vz and panama have in common is using the doj arrest warrant as justification to capture the head of state of a foreign country.
but in Panama, bush sr had an actual invasion plan in place, to make sure there was actual regime change.
if delcy manages to stay in office, this operation is a big failure in my op.
my hope is that marco rubio has a plan to make sure this doesnt happen, and the regime collapses. |

btw... at 50 cents you are selling at 30c computing accrued interest.
Do you think that the world largest oil and gold reserves are worth 30 cents? |

victor.. Lee said something else.. whatever that means:
The United States has completed its military action in Venezuela after capturing leftist leader Nicolas Maduro, a US senator said Saturday, quoting Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
"He anticipates no further action in Venezuela now that Maduro is in US custody," Senator Mike Lee, a Republican initially critical of the operation, wrote on X after what he said was a telephone call with Rubio.

congratulations victor... you were spot on on post-Christmas action.

pana, Q pasara ahora con Padrino y Diodadoq quedaron por fuera del acuerdo?
//
based on the info that marco provided to lee, i would say the problem is delcy, not those 2.
those 2 have doj charges, like nm. so dt can arrest them if he wants to.
delcy does not, and she is vp.
dt cannot arrest her, as there are no doj charges against her. |

Mike Lee
Just got off the phone with @SecRubio
He informed me that Nicolás Maduro has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant
This action likely falls within the president’s inherent authority under Article II of the Constitution to protect U.S. personnel from an actual or imminent attack
Thank you, @SecRubio
, for keeping me apprised |

pana, Como puede Delcy apuntarse como quedar "encargada"
//
porque ella es la vp.
cuando matan a jfk, lbj queda encargado de la presidencia desde que le disparan a jfk.
cuando muere fdr, truman queda encargado de la presidencia desde el dia que muere fdr. |

her voice was not the normally relaxed, but the opposite.
nervous, anxious voice. |

01-03-26 panasonic
Vic, hopefully a quick decapitation of the regime.
Delcy declares herself as head of state? Asking for proof of life of NM, great seems the extraction was successful.
Conclusion: billionaires don't die on combat |

pt, delcy said "exigimos prueba de vida de nm y cilia"
so she's confirming that nm was indeed captured.

Next stop Maduro is Gitmo or Moscow?
This operation only makes sense if some opposition president takes over immediately and is protected by loyal troops.

Vic, Maduro has very limited mobility, Russian pilot could deliver him to a different place and collect $50MM.
The only safe way out is a USA chopper picking him in a pre-determined location as was done with Noriega. |

This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
