In a dramatic overnight operation, nearly 200 U.S. troops entered Caracas by helicopter, supported by over 150 military aircraft, to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, ending his 12-year authoritarian rule without a single American casualty. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth revealed that Venezuela’s multi-layered Russian-supplied air defenses—including around 5,000 shoulder-fired missiles—failed to stop the U.S. assault, mocking Moscow’s inability to protect its ally. After the raid, Maduro and Flores were flown to New York, where they pleaded not guilty in federal court. Hegseth also warned China and Russia that U.S. military dominance is being rebuilt to levels adversaries would “not dare” challenge, signaling America’s global reach and exposing the limitations of Russian defenses in the region.
