US special forces constructed an exact replica of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s residence before ousting him from power. A clandestine team, aided by an informant within the Venezuelan government, meticulously observed Maduro’s daily routines, including his sleeping arrangements, dietary habits, attire preferences, and even the rituals associated with his pets.
Dubbed “Operation Absolute Resolve,” the mission was meticulously planned by elite US troops who replicated Maduro’s Caracas stronghold to strategize the operation. This bold military intervention in Latin America, reminiscent of Cold War tactics, was shrouded in secrecy, with Congress kept uninformed until the final stages.
The operation, aimed at maximizing the element of surprise, garnered international condemnation from countries like Brazil and Russia. Despite an initial delay following President Donald Trump’s initial approval, military leaders awaited optimal weather conditions to execute the mission.
General Dan Caine, the US military’s top-ranking officer, revealed that the operation was set in motion following the president’s late-night directive. The mission, spanning air, land, and sea, unfolded swiftly, leaving observers in Washington and worldwide astonished.
Brazil’s President Lula da Silva criticized the forceful removal of Venezuela’s leader, cautioning against setting dangerous precedents in the global community.
