Astonishing military operation to capture Maduro

Donald Trump was right. There is no other military power on the planet which could have done what the American special forces et al did to capture Nicolas Maduro from his stronghokd compound in Caracas. The details that have emerged from Trump and from General Dan Caine, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, are mindboggling. For the capture of one man and his wife, the US military used 150 aircraft/helicopters/drones, warships galore and the most elite US Army special forces unit, the famed Delta Force, modelled, incidentally, on the SAS. Maduro's Cuban bodyguards and loyal army were totally blitzed with surprise, and before they knew what was happening, their president had been grabbed, whisked out by helicopter and taken to the USS Iowa Jima amphibious assault ship off Venezuela. Casualties on the US side? One soldier with minor gunshot injuries and a damaged helicopter which was still able to fly back to its ship safely. Sensational. Operation Absolute Resolve was a total success, as far as military missions are concerned. China has condemned the "illegal" intervention but then Beijing loses out more than most, apart from Maduro. Venezuela is in hock to China and sells most of its oil at a ridiculously cheap rate to China. So, now with Trump pledging to take over the oil industry in Venezuela with US money and oil companies' expertise, China is going to be pushed out. This was obviously one of Trump's principal objectives. But in the meantime, the White House will be glowing with pride that the US has proved yet again that its military are the finest in the business. China has been forced to take note. Rather than being given carte blanche to intervene in Taiwan, Beijing will now be fearful of how Trump might respond. PLEASE BUY AGENT REDRUTH, MY NEW SPY THRILLER, A PAPERBACK. SEE ON AMAZON BOOKS.
