Please include sources for any claims; baseless speculation is counterproductive. Remember that this is not a win for the US, just another outburst of a dying empire.

Edit

According to Telesur above, the US attack targeted the centers of Physics, Chemistry, Ecology and the Nuclear Technology Unit, fundamental spaces for the development of health, engineering and oil sovereignty of the nation.

Trump demands Venezuela kick out China and Russia, partner only with US on oil

What do you all think of this? Is it blustering or is Venezuela about to get extremely hot due to that insolvency risk?

Is there any chance of China applying some sort of pressure or support to help the government hold out?

The cope is gonna be very funny when Venezuela obviously refuses these ridiculous terms. not mad capitalist coping

More seriously. The US has no control over Venezuela whatsoever. I don't know why they are so smugly certain that they can now order Venezuela around just because they kidnapped a politician and dropped a handful of bombs, but they can't. Not remotely close.

Edit: It's probably a bad faith ultimatum they know Venezuela is gonna refuse so they can use that as an excuse to continue invading like @La Dame d'Azur remarked.

But the 'progressives' told me Trump was a Russian asset.

Can anyone enlighten me on how much impact it has to kidnap the leader of a country? Because the rest of the government, including the VP, is still up and running, right?

Or does the kidnapping act as proof of much of the government/military already being compromised and bought up by the US?

The illegal military attacks carried out by the United States against Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday, January 3, caused damage to electrical substations. The information was released on Sunday afternoon by the National Electric Corporation (Corpoelec), which specified that the damage affected electrical service in various areas of Caracas.

"The attack by the United States against Venezuela seriously affected the Panamericana 69 kV and Escuela Militar 4.8 kV substations, putting the OAM-Vega Caricuao-Panamericana 1 and 2 69 kV lines, and Junquito-Panamericana 1 and 2 69 kV lines out of service," denounced the National Electric Corporation (Corpoelec) in a statement.

Likewise, in the document, Corpoelec strongly condemns before the international community “the criminal attack perpetrated against the National Electric System (SEN), as part of a maneuver planned by the United States that led to the kidnapping of the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and the First Lady, Cilia Flores.”

China's cybersecurity firm analyzes US cyberwarfare in military strike on Venezuela

A cybersecurity expert told the Global Times that with its cyberattack capabilities, the US typically aims to gain deep control over other countries’ information systems and continuously conduct covert information gathering; during wartime, these capabilities can be converted into battlefield intelligence advantages, enabling attacks on critical infrastructure such as financial and military systems at any time, which could further lead to the collapse and disintegration of societal operations.

According to US media reports, the US side suggested that it used cyberattacks or other technical capabilities to cut power in Caracas during strikes on the Venezuelan capital. The US side also reportedly confirmed that US Cyber Command participated in the operation.

According to the latest report by Antiy, “the blackout in Caracas was largely intended to provide more covert support for the low-altitude entry and operations of [the US] helicopter fleet, requiring precision, certainty, and controllability. The likelihood of power infrastructure being compromised by firepower strikes or physical damage is relatively low, whereas cyberattacks are more likely to cause blackouts, thereby ‘opening operational channels’ for subsequent US airstrikes and special operations.”

“It cannot be ruled out that the US attempted to disable its opponent’s air defense weapon systems through cyberattacks during the operation.”

🇺🇸⚔️🇻🇪 Launch of a surface-to-air missile from a 9K338 Igla-S portable air defense system (MANPAD) against a helicopter belonging to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Night Stalkers) during the attacks on the Fuerte Tiuna military complex, south of Caracas, Venezuela, during the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

The FANB did attempt to shoot down some U.S. helicopters; however, it should be remembered that U.S. electronic warfare was extremely powerful. That part of the combat is not seen—nor can it be seen—but its impact is decisive. General Dan Caine himself confirmed that aircraft specialized in electronic warfare were deployed during the operation.

Btw, I found a great video from multiple Venezuelans, with Vijay as well. We’ve got José Luis Granados Ceja, Andreína Chávez, with Katie Halper as the host. Very good points on addressing the distrust with Delcy Rodríguez, comparisons Trump made to Qassem Soleimani, how the hell the U.S. might’ve gotten in with seemingly little resistance, and what the fuck’s going on with María Corina Machado.
