As he realizes his glory days under former President Joe Biden are over, Venezuela’s communist dictator, Nicolas Maduro, backtracked on his initial remarks and is now begging the U.S. to de-escalate the situation. 

“The government of the United States should abandon its plan of violent regime change in Venezuela and in all of Latin America and respect sovereignty, the right to peace, to independence,” Maduro said on state television.

VENEZUELA VOWS CONSEQUENCES TO US NARCO STRIKE

“I respect Trump. None of the differences we’ve had can lead to a military conflict. Venezuela has always been willing to converse, to dialogue,” Maduro stated. 

Those statements contradict his original vows of war against the U.S. 

[We] “will fight if [American forces] dare set foot in Venezuela,” Maduro’s communist regime said before the Trump administration engaged in military power operations off Venezuela’s coast.

But after witnessing President Donald Trump’s decisive action, Maduro knew his regime would be pulverized by the leader of the free world. 

What we saw in the video of the drug trafficking boat being pummeled by a U.S. airstrike in the southern Caribbean, Maduro came to his senses and realized that, despite holding leadership in two dangerous foreign terrorist organizations, he still lacks the fighting power to take on a back-to-back world war champion. 

In addition to the weak power of Maduro’s drug cartels, Venezuela’s military has even less fighting power. 

Dictator Hugo Chavez, who mysteriously died in 2013, left Maduro a severely weakened army with fractured leadership, out-of-date technical equipment composed of a small reserve of Russian and Chinese hand-me-downs, and low morale among his hunger-stricken people. 

In the years that followed, Maduro was able to recruit some financial resources through oil deals and negotiations he struck with the Biden and Obama administrations, but those accords were short-lived. 

Maduro has since resorted to coercing his own starving civilians, including housewives and food delivery drivers, to take up arms in severely underfunded makeshift militias. 

And if that line of defense fails, it’s not like he can rely on his allies for help. 

Maduro speaks highly of Venezuela’s relations with China and Russia, but technically, neither country is a legitimate military ally of his regime. So far, Venezuela only has a military alliance with Cuba and Honduras, two failed states with starving populations under communist dictatorial rule. 

Clearly, Venezuela has no ability to fight off anyone, let alone the home of the brave. In the words of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), at this point, the smartest thing Maduro could do is just give himself up. 

Trump’s justified cartel strike

“You have to make a call: leave Venezuela alive or dead,” Moreno stated. 

History has proven time and time again that regardless of who you are, whether it be Osama Bin Laden, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, or, in this case, an overweight narco trafficker, if you are an enemy of the state, the U.S. will pursue you until America is free of you.
