In this episode of Western Conservative, we break down the dramatic U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the immediate international and domestic reactions, and what it means for American power and global order.
Maduro's Capture: The United States executed a major military strike to remove Nicolás Maduro from power and bring him to the U.S. to face charges—including narco-terrorism and drug trafficking—marking a historic and controversial intervention.
Venezuelan Government Response: Officials denounce the operation as a "brutal act of aggression," calling for resistance and international condemnation while interim leadership consolidates control amid repression and unrest.
Global Reaction: World leaders and institutions are sharply divided—Russia, China, and others condemn the U.S. action as a violation of sovereignty, while some Western officials cautiously frame it as an opportunity for democratic transition.
