Swift Justice Against Socialist Dictator
Operation Absolute Resolve commenced on January 3, 2026, after months of meticulous planning by U.S. military forces under Trump’s direction. The precision strikes targeted multiple strategic locations across northern Venezuela, including Caracas, Fort Tiuna military base, Miranda Airbase, and La Guaira port. Within thirty minutes, American forces achieved their primary objective of removing the socialist strongman who had terrorized his people for over a decade.

President Trump personally approved the attack at approximately 11 PM on January 2nd, demonstrating the decisive leadership America desperately needed after years of weak foreign policy. At 4:21 AM, Trump announced that Maduro and his wife had been captured and flown out of Venezuela. By 5:21 AM, he posted photographic proof on Truth Social showing Maduro aboard the USS Iwo Jima, silencing critics who doubted American resolve.
Criminal Charges and Constitutional Justice
Attorney General Pam Bondi swiftly announced narcoterrorism charges against both Maduro and Flores, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed their arrest and pending prosecution in U.S. courts. This represents exactly the kind of law-and-order approach conservatives have demanded for years. Vice President JD Vance justified the operation by emphasizing that Maduro was already a wanted fugitive, making his capture a legitimate law enforcement action rather than foreign aggression.
The swift legal proceedings demonstrate Trump’s commitment to holding international criminals accountable, especially those who have enriched themselves through drug trafficking while their citizens suffer under socialist policies. This stands in stark contrast to previous administrations that allowed dictators to operate with impunity while American interests were ignored.
Strategic Victory for American Energy Independence
Trump’s announcement of plans for U.S. occupation and control of Venezuelan oil resources represents a master stroke for American energy security. For too long, socialist regimes have stolen natural resources that rightfully belong to their people while enriching corrupt elites. The operation positions America to finally access these strategic reserves while preventing further socialist exploitation of Venezuela’s wealth.
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez assumed temporary leadership and predictably condemned the strikes as “imperialist aggression,” calling for UN Security Council intervention. However, her demands for “proof of life” regarding Maduro only confirm the operation’s success. The Venezuelan regime’s desperate appeals to international bodies reveal their weakness and isolation following years of socialist mismanagement and corruption.
