Related: About this forumUSA Attacks Venezuela & Seizes Maduro - Joe Blogs
The United States has stated that it has carried out military strikes in Caracas and captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, in what would be one of the most dramatic escalations in USVenezuela relations in decades.
According to US statements, Maduro and his wife were seized and removed from the country following coordinated military action, while Venezuelas government denies the claims and says the country is under attack.
In this video, I break down exactly what the US has said and why this moment could reshape the future of Venezuela, Latin America, and US foreign policy.

Trump will expect a bump in the polls as patriotic Americans rally behind their president, but I expect that any positive momentum he gains from the invasion will be halted by some other stupid decision.
