Venezuela - US Conflict: News, Updates

Russia can now declare Zelensky a terrorist by its own laws, and now take him out since "international" law over sovereign protection of leaders now no longer applies.
Trump seems pissed at Zelensky, so he might not mind if Putin takes him out, especially after the Ukrainians tried to allegedly take Putin out at one of his residences, recently.
 
His estate, Mar-a-Lago, is next to the Venezuelan part of Florida, so if he doesn’t do it, the Venezuelans there will hold a celebration today in his honor, undoubtedly.

The United States early on Saturday launched a “large-scale strike” on Venezuela, with President Donald Trump announcing that US forces had captured the South American country’s leader, Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

“The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country,“ Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Multiple explosions rocked Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, earlier in the day, and columns of black smoke and aircraft could be seen.

Responding to the development in a video statement, Venezuela’s Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino said the country would resist the presence of foreign troops.

The real trick by Trump will be, when the US backed regime is in place, to tell the Venezuelans in the US to go back to their country, now that it is safe.

All the Latino voters in Florida that voted for Trump are getting what they wanted:

Same as The Cuban or LA Ira- *Ahem* sorry the "Persian" diaspora, IMO if it's just regime change and not a full scale invasion then the outcome would be positive for the average Venezuelan.
 

‘Violation of territorial integrity’: Iran​

In a statement, the Iranian foreign ministry condemned the attack on Venezuela.

It strongly condemned the “American military attack on Venezuela”, declaring it a “flagrant violation of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country“.

Colombia calls for de-escalation
In a post on X, Colombian President Gustavo Petro reaffirmed his country’s “unrestricted commitment to the principles enshrined in the charter of the United Nations, in particular the respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states, the prohibition of the use or threat of use of force, and the peaceful settlement of international disputes”.

“In this regard, the Colombian government rejects any unilateral military action that could aggravate the situation or put the civilian population at risk,” he wrote on the social media platform.

Petro said that Colombia had adopted a position “oriented toward the preservation of regional peace” and called for de-escalation. He further called on all parties to refrain from actions that deepen the confrontation and to prioritise dialogue and diplomatic channels.

“As a preventive measure, the national government has arranged measures to protect the civilian population, preserve stability on the Colombian-Venezuelan border, and promptly address any eventual humanitarian or migratory needs, in coordination with local authorities and competent organisations,” he added.

‘Criminal attack’: Cuba​

In a sharp condemnation, Cuba’s President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez denounced the “criminal attack by the US on Venezuela”.

In a post on X, he called on the international community to react against the US strikes.

“Our Zone De Paz (Zone of Peace) is being brutally assaulted,” he wrote, describing the US action as “state terrorism” against not only the Venezuelan people but also “our America”.
 
It was probably when the Venezuelan generals saw they didn’t have the means (equipment and international support) as well as genuine local backing to carry on a fight.



It doesn’t take sophisticated air defence to take down Helicopters….The Somalis did it with crude RPGs. US now control their country. It’s president kidnapped and US got their oil. Sounds Pretty treasonous of Venezuelan military forces. Lack of action.
 

EU calls for restraint​

The European Union called for “restraint” and respect for international law after the strikes.

“The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition,” the bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas wrote on X after speaking with her US counterpart, Marco Rubio.

“Under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be respected. We call for restraint,” she wrote.
 

Spain offers to negotiate​

The Spanish foreign ministry offered in a statement to negotiate and help find a peaceful solution in Venezuela.

It further called for de-escalation, moderation and respect for international law in the South American country.

‘Act of armed aggression’: Russia​

Russia expressed deep concern over the development and condemned what it described as an “act of armed aggression” against Venezuela committed by the United States, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

“In the current situation, it is important … to prevent further escalation and to focus on finding a way out of the situation through dialogue,” it said.

“We call for immediate clarification of this situation. Such actions, if they did indeed take place, constitute an unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of an independent state, respect for which is a key principle of international law,” the ministry said in a statement.
