A Timeline of the Venezuelan kidnapping incident [Chinese] |
Maduro arrives at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Jan. 4, 05:00 CET
International media are reporting the kidnapping of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro and his wife in the frame of a nightly attack on Venezuela's capital Caracas. US Delta forces should have carried out the operation on behalf of US president Donald Trump who intends to put him to trial "for his crimes" before a NY court. At the moment, Maduro and his wife are being held aboard US warship "Iwo Jima" but nobody knows for sure. Even Maduro's vice-president didn't know their whereabouts during the first hours.
This comes even before a probably planned attack on Iran discussed earlier today on my last blogspot.
And who will be next ? Maybe the Canadian Prime Minister to enforce a US-Canadian unification, or the Queen of Denmark because of raw materials and a cold-resistant Inuit workforce expected on Greenland ?

Former CIA director Brennan: This U.S. invasion of Venezuela is all about oil, wealth and regime change. And this is not an isolated voice from the US center of power ...

On January 4, media reported that VP Rodriguez was officially named successor to Nicolas Maduro as a President of Venezuela. The ruling political party, presenting "La Revolución Bolivariana", seems to be still in power.
Only hours after the inauguration of Rodriguez as the new president of Venezuela, regional media reported "shots, anti-aircraft fire and sighting of drones among confusion in the neighbourhod of Miraflores Palace (Presidential Palace)". [A24 com, Argentinian TV station on Jan. 6]
US Embassy and Consulates in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia issued warning of restricted access to their offices due to expected anti-US manifestations during the weekend.

It should be noted that anti-Maduro protesters from Venezuela took to the streets, as well, in order to celebrate the Maduro kidnapping, but that depends much on the place of their exile in neighbouring countries. In Bogotá, Colombia, they succeeded in blocking the local traffic and, thus, triggered a regional traffic warning from the authorities. Some time later, that manifestation allegedly should have been dissolved by its participants. In Buenos Aires, Argentine, Venezuelan refugees are celebrating the Maduro kidnapping. Yet, there are Argentinian protesters, as well, opposing the US incursion and further Trump plans "to run Venezuela". No wonder, this is the country of "chainsaw president" Milei.
On the contrary, Mexico came about with a clear stance of Mexico's President Sheinbaum against the US kidnapping. After a Trump statement on Mexico that "something will have to be done about Mexico", the Mexican Senate cancelled a meeting allowing US military to enter the country.
