US President Donald Trump has ordered strikes on sites inside Venezuela, including military facilities, US officials tell the BBC’s US partner CBS News.
Plumes of smoke were seen rising from the Venezuelan capital early on Saturday morning. A national emergency has been declared.
President Donald Trump says the US has carried out a “large scale strike against Venezuela” and “captured its leader, President Nicolas Maduro” and his wife.
A state of national emergency has been declared in Venezuela following the strikes on the capital of Caracas in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Venezuela has rejected and denounced “the extremely serious military aggression perpetrated by the current Government of the United States of America against Venezuelan territory.”
Times of India
US Marine Corps reportedly entered Venezuela amid a massive attack ordered by Donald Trump. Footage on social media captured missile-like strikes, low-flying aircraft, fires, power outages, and armoured movements across the city. The attack marked a major escalation against the government of President Nicolás Maduro. U.S. officials have acknowledged awareness of explosions and aircraft activity over Caracas, though the White House has issued no formal statement. The Pentagon has declined to confirm or deny direct U.S. involvement. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro publicly warned the world, stating that Caracas was being bombed and urging the UN and OAS to meet immediately. Activity was reported near Fort Tiuna army base, La Carlota Air Base, 23 de Enero, and Miraflores Palace, with unverified footage showing tanks, detentions, and possible U.S. military presence.
“ This is quite a “Stop asking about Epstein” campaign.”

Stripped Bare: The Real Cost of Trump’s 2025 Demolition Project
Putin taught him well. Invasion of a sovereign nation and arrest of its political leader without the direction of Congress.
The Congress shall have sole power To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water
Can’t wait for him to read his address to the nation on this one. The ad libs should be priceless. Has he put out a DumbassSocial message yet?
pog, quoted by the guardian at https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/jan/03/caracas-explosions-venezuela-maduro-latest-news-updates-live:
He is very stupid, if he says he is going to do something, he will. Now emboldened to attack other countries the question is which one is next. Will Canada be the one? How about Denmark? Perhaps France?
Until he is put in jail, this will continue. He is the toddler without constraints.

Yes, there was a $50 million reward offered by the United States government for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Nicolás Maduro.
However, according to recent reports from January 3, 2026, President Trump has announced that Maduro has been captured by U.S. forces. It is not yet clear who, if anyone, was paid the reward.
Details of the Reward
Amount: Up to $50 million.
Reason: Maduro was indicted in March 2020 on charges including narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, and other federal crimes. U.S. officials accused him of leading the “Cartel of the Suns” and collaborating with a Colombian rebel group (FARC) to traffic drugs to the United States.
History: The reward was initially set at $15 million in 2020, increased to $25 million in January 2025, and further increased to $50 million in August 2025.
Contact for Information (prior to capture): The public was asked to contact the DEA by email at CartelSolesTips@usdoj.gov or by phone.
The U.S. government had sought his arrest for years as a key pillar of its efforts to disrupt transnational crime and bring fugitives to justice.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
So he’s put out a whateverthehellyoucallaTruthSocial message written by someone (Susie Wiles or someone she dispatched?) other than him and will address the message on teevee at 11 from the White House? ( News at 11 – now that’s some great cliche use). I can hardly wait. There do seem to be a few international and domestic legal issues that will need to be ironed out, but those will have to come from folks way above my pay grade. One thing I can say – unless I miss my guess by a country mile, he’s kissed any hope of a NPP goodbye.
perhaps Maduro can float a plea deal by peacefully handing government over to the duly elected in exchange for a cushy villa in Monaco. could be that was what Dodo and he talked about on the phone call yesterday. given Dodo’s affection for dictators, don’t rule such a deal or scripted stagecraft out with this gang.
Just woke up. Reading this news, for a second I thought you were kidding, Pat.
So I guess now the midterms aren’t just about who controls Congress but wherher we have one at all.
The rest of the world needs to do that to BiBi, Poo-tin, and Orange Adolf’s entire N&zi regime.
Ah, but nobody is coming to save us. We need to shut it down ourselves before we end up with digital IDs that can turn off our access to money for little things like food. There should’ve been a general strike & boycotts about 11 months ago, when the Republican Senators had a meeting in Florida & flee to MAL for a private dinner where they solidified their hatred for the US Constitution.
The TikTok astrologers show April as being particularly spicy.
Silly wabbits…..can’t have wartime powers without a war.
Only Room For One Dictator
The sun came up, and Maduro went down. But if the White House doesn’t need a permission slip for war anymore, what are we actually voting for in November? Craig asks if the midterms are about who controls Congress—or if we still have one.

So, the US goes in and creates a power vacuum, chaos ensues, the US swoops in and takes control of the oil and minerals.
The US is the bad guy. The EU and every other country not tied to Russia needs to sanction the US, pull their athletes from the World Cup this year (and the 2028 Olympics), and there needs to be a general strike in the US.
The US bombed seven countries in 2025: Venezuela, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, and Somalia.
Last night, still the 2nd day of 2026, the US bombed and regime changed (yeah, I know) Venezuela.
Canada needs to keep their elbows up, as do Norway, Panama, and most of the rest of the world.
Orange Adolf is just the melting pile of excrement acting as the spokesmodel for some of the most terrible folks to ever breathe.
Everyone at the white Heritage Foundation, and the N&zi billionaires: David Sacks, Peter Thiel, and MuskRat, and the sycophants and psychos like Republicans in Congress and Stephen Mitler is responsible for the ongoing destruction of the US. Their virus has spread to harm folks globally.
What’s to stop the US from arresting President Sheinbaum for drugs coming over the southern border?
What’s to stop the US from arresting PM Carney from doing the same to Canada?
Adolf thinks the americas are his, personal property. He just has to evict some folks.
If late night hosts think they had it hard before, the bombing if Venezuela and arrest of Maduro has only emboldened him/them. I can see Kimmel and others being jailed now. One too many peeps.

We have Maduro. The Venezuelan VP is on his way to Russia. Now what?
Colin Powell: If you break it, you own it. Of course the current resident doesn’t have a clue until someone else tells him what to think.
Will Rubio back Maria Machado? He who must be flattered and appeased might not like the idea of a woman who already has a peace prize.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Corina_Machado
An industrial engineer with a master’s degree in finance, Machado began her political career as a founder of the vote-monitoring organization Súmate. She is the National Coordinator of the political party Vente Venezuela and ran in the 2012 opposition presidential primary, which she lost to Henrique Capriles. During the 2014 Venezuelan protests, she played a leading role in organizing demonstrations against Maduro’s government.[4]
In 2023, Machado won the opposition primary to become the unity candidate for the 2024 presidential election.[5] The Venezuelan government subsequently barred her from running in the election.[6][7][8] She named Corina Yoris as a replacement candidate, who was later replaced by Edmundo González. The opposition presented vote tallies that showed González winning the July 2024 election in a landslide, while the government-run National Electoral Council declared victory for Maduro without presenting evidence.[9] Shortly after the presidential election, Machado announced that she had gone into hiding, citing fears for her life and freedom under the Maduro government.[10]
In 2025, Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy”.[11] She was named one of BBC’s 100 Women in 2018, and listed among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2025. In 2024, Machado received the Václav Havel Human Rights Prize and the Sakharov Prize (shared with González) for representing Venezuelans fighting for democracy.
There isn’t a Trump hotel in Venezuela, but the Trump Organization marketed its properties, like the Trump Ocean Club in Panama, to wealthy Venezuelans, even targeting them as key customers, though sanctions later complicated U.S.-Venezuela relations and Trump business dealings there.
The Trump Ocean Club in Panama specifically targeted Venezuelan buyers, as noted in court documents, with ads in Venezuelan magazines. The Trump Organization had significant dealings with potential Venezuelan clients before sanctions tightened, with reports indicating sales of condos to regime-connected individuals.
bId – yeah, I had forgotten about Mexico. It had slid off the front page of grievances during the illegal attacks at sea and now invasion of Venezuela. Soft target in the mind of a mangomoron terrorist.
MS NOW has called in Rachel to explain stuff. Her fun statement being why two separate stances between Venezuela and Brazil.

https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/marco-rubio-nicolas-maduro-not-president-venezuela/
Before the U.S. captured and indicted Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was “NOT the president of Venezuela.”
In a post on X from July 2025, Rubio made clear the Trump administration’s stance on Maduro’s authority in the country, adding that “his regime is NOT the legitimate government.”
*Every leader in every country except Russia, China, and North Korea should realize that Maduro’s fate could be their fate. There is nothing to stop the tRUMPsky regime.
Rubio details why Venezuela strike did not require congressional authorization, says no further action
“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,” he wrote in a pre-dawn post to X on Saturday.
“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,” Lee said.
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-10-17/marco-rubio-venezuela-maduro-trump
As a senator from Florida, Rubio represented exiles from three leftist autocracies — Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela — and for years he has made it his mission to weaken their governments. He says his family could not return to Cuba after Fidel Castro’s revolution seven decades ago.
He has long maintained that eliminating Maduro would deal a fatal blow to Cuba, whose economy has been buoyed by billions of dollars in Venezuelan oil in the face of punishing U.S. sanctions.
*Craig – Here’s your answer; for Rubio, Venezuela is about Cuba.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has won an internal Trump administration battle over Venezuela policy, sidelining special envoy Ric Grenell, who sought cooperation with President Nicolás Maduro.
Rubio reframed intervening in Venezuelan affairs as a fight against a drug kingpin threatening American streets, rather than an effort to promote democracy.
*But for tRUMPsky and his cadre of billionaires, it’s about oil. They will never be sated until they have every resource everywhere.
Leaky Pete is drunk with power. We can project our will anywhere against anyone? This is some dangerous, N&zi-level sh/t.
Wake up world.
If anyone needs regime change, it’s us, because these ghouls and fools are never going away willingly.
The beatings go on until morale improves.

I’ve posted this before… but it’s still very relevant…
i picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue
JD Vance –
“The president offered multiple off ramps, but was very clear throughout this process: the drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says.”
*The “stolen oil must be returned to the United States” ???
The world was just put on notice.
hopefully Zelenskyy was because that’s what Putin wants to do to him
Orange Adolf lost the trade war he started.
Orange Adolf ignores the economic suffering of folks in the US, calling it a “Democrat hoax,” while he claims the US will back up those protesting economic suffering in Iran if their government goes after them.
Orange Adolf (allegedly) told mTg that if the Epstein files were released it would “hurt his friends,” and since he had no friends he means himself.
Rubio got what he wanted, even though he had to lie and shapeshift to get it; a weakened Venezuela leading to a weakened Cuba.
The fossil fuel fools got what they wanted; access to more oil.
The techbros got what they wanted; access to rare earth minerals for chips and devices and unnecessary whatnot.
The defense industry got what it wants; more war means more government contracts for the tools of war.
FDT and his entire regime
“America’s new foreign policy is basically this: Don’t kill people there [the Middle East]; kill them over here [South America], in your own time zone. It’s classic advice: Shit where you eat. That’s the new Trump doctrine.
It’s not in any way about stable democracies; it’s about spheres of influence. Russia can have their sphere of influence, including Ukraine; China can have theirs, and probably Taiwan, and we get South America. America is no longer the shining city on the hill. It is merely just one of the five crime families, splitting up the territories.”
-Jon Stewart
If the US is going to “run Venezuela,” then one dictator (since they are calling Maduro illegitimate), has been exchanged for another dictator (tRUMP).
Well, based on Orange Adolf’s history, he will run Venezuela into the ground, too.

Watch our breakdown on U.S. INVADES VENEZUELA (including the reaction to Trump’s live presser).
We woke up to find out the President thinks there’s only room for one dictator in the hemisphere. While Congress spent December arguing about “permission,” the White House went ahead and launched Operation Midnight Hammer—extracting Maduro and his wife while DC slept.
In today’s live hour, we didn’t just watch the victory lap; we checked the engine:
The Constitution: We dug up George Mason (“I am for clogging war”) to contrast with a Congress that found out about an invasion on TV.
The Motive: They say “Narco-Terrorism.” We look at the oil infrastructure, the rare earth minerals, and the “deal” that likely greased the wheels.
The Digital Diner: From “Blue in Dallas” calling Senators live on air to “Stuart” on keyboards (our resident conservative) debating the cost of healthcare—this was a full house.

The United States is reasserting influence in Latin America – with a particular focus on China – through overt political signaling. Honduras is the most obvious test case.
Just days before Hondurans went to the polls, Trump issued a presidential pardon to Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former Honduran president who had been sentenced in the United States to 45 years in prison on drug trafficking and firearms charges. The timing was impossible to ignore. Hernandez belonged to the National Party, the same party as presidential candidate Nasry Asfura, and the pardon was widely interpreted inside Honduras as a clear political signal rather than a legal gesture detached from current events.
That signal became explicit days later. Trump publicly endorsed Asfura, praised his candidacy, and framed his rivals, including Salvador Nasralla and Rixi Moncada, as untrustworthy and aligned with communism.
After the election, as disputes emerged over the recount of thousands of ballots with reported inconsistencies, Trump went further. In a public statement, he warned that there would be “hell to pay” if the results showing Asfura as the winner were altered, applying direct pressure on Honduran institutions to finalize certification.
Taken together, these actions amounted to an unusually blunt intervention by a sitting U.S. president in the electoral politics of a Latin American country. They also fit a broader pattern that increasingly resembles a Monroe Doctrine 2.0.
*This article has more to do with geopolitical shifts than tRUMP’s pardon of a Honduran President, but today the US has captured and will try a Venezuelan President on drug and weapons charges…the very crimes pardoned by tRUMP last month.
HA!
When he heard Colin Powell’s saying about “If you break it you own it” he was absolutely delighted. “So he’s saying that if I want something all I gotta do is break it first? Wow! dream come true!”

President Donald Trump torpedoed the idea that Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado could assume leadership in Venezuela, saying she “doesn’t have respect” in her country.
Machado famously dedicated the award — which she won for her activism in opposition toMaduro’s regime — to Trump, saying he deserved to win.
Trump spoke at a press conference in Florida Saturday morning, during which he made a lot of news, telling reporters that the United States “will run the country” until new leadership is found.

Volodymyr Zelensky has suggested Vladimir Putin should now be detained – after the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and flew him out of the country in an extraordinary military operation.
‘If it’s possible to deal with dictators this way, then the US knows what to do next’, he added, insinuating that Trump should deal with Russia’s Putin in a similar way for his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
*Sadly, I’m more worried about Zelensky today.

A new extraction frontier is taking shape in southern Venezuela. In the borderlands of Bolívar and Amazonas states, armed groups are turning the global demand for critical minerals into a lucrative criminal enterprise.
Once dominated by gold, the region’s informal mining sector has expanded to include coltan, cassiterite (tin), and rare earth elements, which are materials essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defence technologies.

“Because the President and his Cabinet repeatedly denied any intention of conducting regime change in Venezuela when briefing Congress, we are left with no understanding of how the Administration is preparing to mitigate risks to the U.S. and we have no information regarding a long-term strategy following today’s extraordinary escalation,” Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement on Saturday.
At a news conference on Saturday, Trump said Congress had not been kept fully informed on the Venezuela plans because of concerns that word about his plans would get out. “Congress does have a tendency to leak,” Trump told reporters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coltan
Coltan (short for columbite–tantalite and known industrially as tantalite) is a dull black metallic ore from which the elements niobium and tantalum are extracted.
Among other uses, tantalum from coltan is used to manufacture tantalum capacitors which are used for mobile phones, personal computers, automotive electronics, and cameras.
Niobium is used in the manufacture of MRI magnets and as an additive to steel.

Watch the response:
With plenty of oil in the world petroleum markets and no government to speak of in Venezuela, what incentive does Exxon, Shell, etc. have to sink billions into into oil infrastructure in that country? Think the ME countries are going to shut off the taps to make US oil companies rich?
Apparently WaPo agrees, at least to an extent. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/01/03/venezuela-oil-production-us-companies/
“The quick riches promised did not materialize there, as firms grappled with years of political turmoil and security threats, struggled to negotiate workable contract terms and confronted vexing infrastructure inadequacies. Venezuela may not be any easier, industry analysts warn.
‘“One of the clear lessons from Iraq — and it is not unique to Iraq — is that you need to have stability and be able to assess risk before you can start production,” said Kevin Book, managing director at ClearView Energy Partners, a research firm. Until then, he said, companies may not be enthusiastic about making the billions of dollars in investments required in Venezuela.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/venezuela-oil-reserves-us-strike-trump-what-to-know/
Venezuela, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, produces relatively little crude compared with other leading oil-producing nations. The country produces roughly 1 million barrels of crude oil per day, less than 1% of global output, according to OPEC data.
Venezuela is estimated to have the world’s largest proven oil reserves, with more than 303 billion barrels — that represents roughly 17% of the total global oil supply, OPEC data shows.
“The bottom line is that the size of the reserves is only paralleled by the ones in the Middle East, in the Persian Gulf and Canada’s reserves,” Monaldi told CBS News.
Venezuela’s reserves top second-ranked Saudi Arabia’s 267 billion barrels, and are more than six times the U.S.’s reserves. Most of Venezuela’s untapped oil is located in what is known as the Orinoco Belt, a roughly 21,000-square-mile area that stretches across the country’s northeastern region.
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/01/oil-prices-record-steepest-annual-fall-covid-pandemic
Oil markets have recorded their steepest annual fall since the Covid pandemic and could be on track to plummet further as oil producers continue to pump more crude than needed by the global economy.
Oil prices slumped by almost 20% in 2025, marking the biggest annual loss since 2020 and the first time that the oil market has recorded three consecutive years of annual losses.
The International Energy Agency expects supplies to outstrip demand for crude by about 3.8m barrels a day this year, even following a recent decision by members of the Opec oil cartel to defer any increase in production until after the first quarter of the year.
Opec normally tries to manage the output of its members to keep prices within a “Goldilocks” range: high enough to guarantee them healthy revenues, but without becoming so high that consumers take up cheaper, low-carbon alternatives such as electric cars and heat pumps.
*Pre-Venezuelan overthrow, oil prices were already coming down. Pogo makes a good point. Why spend money to refine more oil for the market and further reduce prices? It is about oil, but we want to control it. It is also about the minerals techbros need, too.
Control ALL of the resources. Energy, food, water…

Seth Moulton nails it
Well, mTg is going back on The View on Wednesday, and she sure has a lot more “America first” and “no new wars” complaints to make against the tRUMPsky regime.
Joaquin Castro called Rubio a liar. Apparently little Marco told him a few days ago there were no plans to invade or tackle regime change.
He really got off on it. Who speaks like this except predators, perverts, and peeping toms?
Yep, Poobah, I’d say Seth wraps it up succinctly. My take is that Fatass knows he’s failing domestically so he’s trying to play the “USA, USA!!” jingo bells to help Repugnicans hold onto power in November.
it’s just arrogant fascists playing with the toy (the US Military) we gave them

Sounds to me like somebody — maybe the military — left the door unlocked for us to grab them. Let’s see who ends up on top. If it’s military folk we’ll know that’s what happened.
So, the US broke international law and kidnapped a foreign leader and his wife, as they used something to cut their power grid, and explode a bunch of bombs nowhere near where they were kidnapping the Maduros because we gotta have optics.

After the U.S. bombed Venezuela in the middle of the night and abducted its president, Nicolas Maduro, President Donald Trump warned that more attacks could be on the way in the region.
Trump hinted at a future conflict with Mexico in particular in an interview with Fox News Saturday morning.
“Well, it wasn’t meant to be, we’re very friendly with her, she’s a good woman,” Trump began. “But the cartels are running Mexico. She’s not running Mexico.”
“We could be politically correct and be nice and say, ‘Oh, yes, she is.’ No, no. She’s very, you know, she’s very frightened of the cartels. They’re running Mexico. And I’ve asked her numerous times, ‘Would you like us to take out the cartels?’ … Something is gonna have to be done with Mexico.”
