We can’t wait for Ridley Scott or some other Hollywood director to make the movie about this past weekend. It already has a built-in blockbuster title: “88 Minutes.” In just 88 minutes, the US armed forces pulled off a daring raid deep inside Venezuela, and black-bagged the narcoterrorist leader Nicolas Maduro in his Hello Kitty pajamas.
If you were bored and went to bed early on Friday evening, you would have missed the whole thing and awoke to a completely changed world on Saturday.
Zero US casualties. Zero equipment losses. A couple of minor injuries. It was the most smashing military success that Americans have witnessed in decades, courtesy of our greatest president.
The amazing thing about it is that Venezuela is no slouch when it comes to military capabilities. Venezuela’s air defense system was provided by Russia. We’ve seen how effective those systems are against Ukraine, which has been equipped largely by NATO. The system works pretty well (especially when manned by Russians).
Venezuela is also Iran’s manufacturing hub for the Mohajer-6 and the ANSU-100. These are the kamikaze-style drones that Iran provides to terror groups like the Houthis in Yemen. Remember all those oil tankers and ships that were being blown up in the Red Sea just a year ago? Venezuela manufactures those drones and ships them to Iran (Iran can’t build them at home because Israel would just blow them up).
But when the attack was launched… nothing worked.
Delta Force and other branches of the service flew into Venezuela unimpeded on Chinook and Blackhawk helicopters. The Russian air defenses didn’t work. The Iranian drones didn’t launch. Analog AK-47s in the hands of troops on the ground were the only thing that still worked. All their fancy digital modern warfare tools from Russia, Iran, and probably China didn’t work.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth used Space Force and US Cyber Command to switch the whole country off for the attack. I didn’t even know they could do that.
The Venezuelans suddenly found themselves with no internet, no electricity, and no working equipment. The next thing they knew, Hugo Chavez’s mausoleum was blown to bits, and their fake, unelected El Presidente was getting a free helicopter ride.
And so, we woke up to a changed world on Saturday morning.
The leaders of Russia, Iran, and China are probably scratching their heads today, thinking, “Why didn’t any of our stuff work?”
This operation sent a message to every tin-horn dictator around the world. North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, Cuba’s Miguel Diaz-Canel, and the Sultan of Brunei have to be feeling a little nervous today.
The schizophrenic condemnation from the Democrats has been fun to watch.
“Oh, look! Trump launched another war for OIL! Is this what you voted for, MAGA?”
Actually… yes!
I was still at ABC News back in 2002 when Maduro’s predecessor, communist Hugo Chavez, nationalized the oil industry in Venezuela. He just took the oil rigs being run by ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil. Chavez stole the oil that was being drilled by American companies and all the equipment.
This was one of many examples of weak neocon foreign policy that candidate Donald Trump campaigned against, starting in 2015. That was our oil, and the drilling rigs were owned and built by American companies that had leases to drill there. Why didn’t George W. Bush or Barack Obama do anything about it? Those two presidents had 14 years to do something about it. Why didn’t they?
Ooh, sanctions! Big whoop!
Democrats, including Rand Paul and Thomas Massie, have been whining for months that it’s illegal to use the US military to blow up drug boats in international waters. That was murder and a war crime, they insisted. Trump is supposed to arrest those people and bring them to America to stand trial.
Okay… Trump just arrested the leader of the narco-terrorist groups and brought him to America for trial.
“Noooo!!! That’s illeeeeeeeegal!”
Well, which is it, Democrats? Is Trump supposed to arrest them or kill them?
Oh, well. A new day has dawned for the people of Venezuela. Now they’ll get to experience living in peace and growing prosperity. Perhaps some of the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan illegals will choose to go back home now.
Side note: It’s going to be hilarious when Nicolas Maduro offers up proof that the 2020 election was stolen in exchange for a lighter sentence.
