Welcome to 2026.We are no longer debating whether actions have consequences. We are watching the Find Out phase unfold at cruise missile speed.

In the early hours of January 3rd, the United States executed the most aggressive foreign military action of the Trump era, striking Venezuelan military and infrastructure targets, decapitating the regime’s leadership, and transitioning seamlessly from kinetic warfare to federal criminal prosecution.

The headline version: Nicolás Maduro just got Roger Stoned.

The grown-up version: a hostile narco-state leader, backed by China and Russia, was removed from his capital in the middle of the night, disappeared from state control, and — within hours — indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice alongside his wife.

This was not regime change.This was manhunt → extraction → indictment.

FAFO has entered production.

MISSION

Neutralize Venezuelan command-and-control
Extract primary targets (Maduro + Flores)
Prevent third-party interference (China / Russia / Iran)
Lock outcome into U.S. criminal jurisdiction
End the event in a courtroom, not an occupation

Objective status: Achieved (pending court appearance).

THE OPERATIONAL SHOCK

CNN’s own senior security correspondents — not exactly MAGA fan fiction writers — compared this to:

The bin Laden raid
The capture of Saddam Hussein

Why? Because this wasn’t symbolic bombing. It was leadership removal under live global surveillance.

Dual-rotor helicopters (not operated by Venezuela) over Caracas. Missiles and rockets impacting urban and military targets.Airports and air-defense systems burning.And then — silence from the palace. Within hours, the Venezuelan government publicly admitted what authoritarian regimes never admit:

We don’t know where our president is.

That’s not denial.That’s decapitation.

LEGAL PHASE: THE POINT OF NO RETURN

Here’s where the globalist coping mechanisms broke.

The U.S. Department of Justice didn’t “signal concern.”It didn’t “open an inquiry.”It unsealed indictments.

Against:

Nicolás Maduro
Cilia Flores (his wife)

Charges reported include narco-terrorism, international cocaine trafficking, and conspiracy to flood the United States with drugs — the same allegations Washington has made for years, now activated because custody is either achieved or imminent.

Reality check for the commentariat:

You do not unseal indictments for fugitives you don’t have.

This wasn’t a strike looking for a justification.This was a warrant with air support.
