Trump didn't do anything except in his own interests. He certainly wasn't trying to help the common folk and better their lives, when he ordered the kidnapping of their corrupt president.

It's worthwhile reading international news and comparing it to US news.

Maybe it’s because Venezuela is a dangerous country. I would think all countries that issue advisories would say something similar.While the US government is popping champagne corks, the rest of the world is taking the situation seriously.
"Avoid all travel to Venezuela due to the significant level of violent crime, the unstable political and economic situations, the risk of arbitrary detention, and the decline in basic living conditions, including shortages of medication, gasoline and water.
On January 3, 2026, military strikes took place on several sites in Venezuela, including military facilities, in the city of Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira.
The current situation in Venezuela is tense and could escalate quickly. Borders and airspace could close at short notice. Several airlines have suspended flights to and from Venezuela, reducing options to leave the country."

But are you sure this isn't just trading one corrupt dictator for another? Trump having control of their oil doesn't sound to me like there will be any benefit to the common people of the country.In my personal opinion:
It’s so funny how people can comment on something they know so little about and that is being spun by a certain group.
It’s an EXTREMELY positive thing that happened and actually miraculous that it went down so smoothly.
Praying the transition to the proper democracy that the Venezuelan majority voted for is equally smooth.
Bravo to the US!!!
Finally we are showing bravery in the face of tyranny.
The good, faithful, honest people of Venezuela have BEGGED us for years to help/ to intervene.
Maduro WAS NOT the legitimate president.
He refused to move aside despite fewer votes- by a large margin than Edmundo Gonzalez received. Illegal, unethical and criminal.
He is an evil demonic dictator who (along with Chavez) ruined one of the most elegant countries in the world.
NOW THERE IS HOPE FOR FREEDOM AND A RETURN TO THE LEGITIMATE COUNTRY VENEZUELA WAS BEFORE IT WAS CORRUPTED in the late 1980s.
As someone who has been to Venezuela, is very close to many born in Venezuela and has been watching this story for many years and very closely for months- I CAN VOUCH THAT THIS IS AN ANSWER TO PRAYER FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF VENEZUELANS.
If anyone is confused about this GLORIOUS GUTSY thing we just did- study it.
Read about Leoplodo Lopez & Edmundo Gonzalez - both exiled in Madrid.
Look at Maria Corina Machado’s Instagram page and scroll back to voting day when the brave people of this country brought the voting receipts to her- atop a truck.
By all means WATCH THE VIDEO OF HER DAUGHTER ACCEPTING THE NOBEL PRIZE ON HER BEHALF- LISTEN TO HER SPEECH - read about her recent journey to Oslo.
Open your heart to the possibility that this move to arrest Maduro was a godsend to the people who need it desperately- to those who have suffered under unspeakable tyranny and have begged for help.
THIS IS THE DAY OF LIBERTY IN VENEZUELA- praise God!!
Long live Venezuela and the proud people of Venezuela.
Nobody educated on this is naive enough to think this is a move against drugs alone.
The country benefited GREATLY in the past and will benefit GREATLY again when the Venezuelan oil industry is run by legitimate oil companies and not corrupt dictators.

This. Its a 'two things can be true at once' situation.
If only that that was what Mr Trump had planned, but it isn't. He's already said that he isn't going to hand control over to the Venezuelan opposition, but rather run the place himself for some indeterminate period. Quite how he'll manage that without boots on the ground is anyone's guess. He's not interested in Venezuelan democracy. He's only interested in your oil.In my personal opinion:

Why were all these strikes necessary to carry out the kidnapping of Maduro? Did they know exactly where he was before they captured him?While neither the US nor Venezuelan authorities have pinpointed locations that were struck, Colombia’s Petro, in a social media post, listed a series of places in Venezuela that he said had been hit.
They include:
- La Carlota airbase was disabled and bombed.
- Cuartel de la Montana in Catia was disabled and bombed.
- The Federal Legislative Palace in Caracas was bombed.
- Fuerte Tiuna, Venezuela’s main military complex, was bombed.
- An airport in El Hatillo was attacked.
- F-16 Base No 3 in Barquisimeto was bombed.
- A private airport in Charallave, near Caracas, was bombed and disabled.
- Miraflores, the presidential palace in Caracas, was attacked.
- Large parts of Caracas, including Santa Monica, Fuerte Tiuna, Los Teques, 23 de Enero and the southern areas of the capital, were left without electricity.
- Attacks were reported in central Caracas.
- A military helicopter base in Higuerote was disabled and bombed.

Thank you!
So if she is indeed out of the country, is she there for her own safety? Did she leave prior to the Maduro incident? Was she warned of the US attack beforehand?Reuters is Reuters, four sources say she's in Russia. But Russia denies.

Okay, but since they're obviously not all reporting the same thing, then according to what you just said, not everyone is reporting the truth. So it does actually matter what news we read.
