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.

    Sure, maybe not the same exact people, but…idk has the CIA actually proven themselves to be less capable? (genuine question) - I guess the venezuelans will soon figure out how capable the agency still is.

      The CIA has gone under significant changes since the church committee. Things they weren’t “supposed” to do got split off into different orgs. Propaganda and soft coups to the NED. Kinetics and drug running to JSOC.

      This action is screams SEAL Team 6. They probably had someone in Trumps cabinet constantly reminding Trump that they can abduct Maduro ‘whenever, where ever, just give us the order!’ without thinking about the consequences.

        The AP reported that it was Delta Force, but eh, same difference. Military operation with a ton of Agency support.
