  1. That’s a long list of things to simultaneously have turned off in one night, it’s as though the Russian and Iranian suppliers had their military defense systems all hard wired into the electrical grid. Which doesn’t make sense.

    A decade ago Venezuela had rolling blackouts throughout the country for months as the Guri Dam which provides 70% of the country’s electricity didn’t have enough water to allow through without having cavitation and self destruction in a matter of days…

    “President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that the U.S. used cyberattacks or other technical capabilities to cut power off in Caracas during strikes on the Venezuelan capital that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
    If true, it would mark one of the most public uses of U.S. cyber power against another nation in recent memory. These operations are typically highly classified, and the U.S. is considered one of the most advanced nations in cyberspace operations globally.”

  2. Given that the vaunted Russian air defence system can’t seem to stop Ukrainian drones which fly slower than early WW2 airplanes, I’m not surprised.

    I also suspect the US took out all the Venezuelan radar systems and communications systems prior to the assault.

    1. Joke
      There you go agin, yapping off like an IDIOT.
      Venezuelan competence is the problem, just as it is in the Ewekraine. The oil industry in Venezuela went down hill, as soon as it was nationalized, bc they lack SKILLED operators , and maintenance staff, which would also apply to the military.

  3. Cuba or Iran; so much low hanging fruit. On the reward side, Cuba has bare cupboards, Iran has oil…and is a p.i.t.a.
    I’m guessing Iran. Cuba’s going to implode on its own (no more Venezuelan oil).

    1. I don’t think the U.S. will militarily intervene in Iran.

      If the Khamenei regime falls the surrounding countries will have less demand for US military equipment.

      1. Oh, don’t count it out.

        And it won’t be due to the sale of military hardware or oil — you people have really taken to the messaging you were fed — not really. Just like we could care less about your oil — it never was that much of a bargaining chip. Connected, but not the main driver.

        You really should learn how to read a map…and think strategically.

          Reading a map isn’t Joke’s, or others in here, biggest problem, learn to get facts and comprehension of said facts, is a much greater issue.

    2. Venezuela supplies about 25-33% (about 27-33k barrels of oil) of Cuba’s daily oil consumption, they pay for it by allowing Venezuela to have “doctors” trained in Cuba to serve their more poor areas of the country. Having to pay cash for it from a country which says they don’t need big cash is going to be interesting. In previous years, Cuba has referred to this as “their special period”… (not a joke).

      So it’s going to be another crappy year in Cuba, and at some point maybe they’ll run out of electricity to power the water treatment plants, and then it’s going to really suck being a Canadian tourist having sex with those young people Cuba employs to service their hotel guests. For the record, I’ve never been to Cuba, but there sure are a lot of Canadians who travel there and have a change of heart after having experienced what the real Cuba is like, or after they see what Cuban officials have on video tape.

      There was an independent anti communist site called, “The Real Cuba” run by George Utset who fled to Miami in the early 60’s… those folks were alive a decade ago, and many seem to have passed away now as none of my anti communists in Cuba websites are functional now. For some reason I went through them Christmas Day to see, same as many of the Venezuelan sites. Those people have either died or waiting to…
      George’s site moved to Facebook, possibly because it’s free as long as they abide by Failbook’s crappy rules.

      1. Cuba is not worried. More TDS suffering Kanadians will vacation there now. And, Marx Carnage will make the taxpayers borrow a couple billion dollars to give Cuba in aid.

  6. Some satellite and overflight photos of the Fuerte Tiuna military base in Caracas, showing some destroyed buildings and the basic outlay of the base prior to and after being attacked.
    This was the best and most protected military base within Venezuela, former president Chavez was frequently there, as I think Maduro was too, all too often afraid of what might be outside the gates. Almost sounds like Romania’s Ceausescu couple…

  7. Have doubts about likely success of any US nation-building project in Venezuela, but look forward to Trump sending Putin a copy of forthcoming book- The Art of the Invasion.

    1. I suspect that any American or American collaborator might want to watch their back in occupied Venezuela. There are likely a lot of committed communists there with guns. I think any thought of the US stealing all their oil might be fraught with fatal hazards.

      1. scarp
        ” any thought of the US stealing all their oil”
        You mean taking BACK the oil Hugo stole from Americans, don’t cha?

      2. There we go again with the oil…

        And we wouldn’t be stealing it, but if the thought makes you feel warm and fuzzy: ok, and what is Canada going to do about it?

    2. Dolt
      Russia doesn’t want slam-dunk, they wouldn’t be able to kill off fighting age males that way, and now they are achieving that goal.

  8. Did anyone study Gulf War 1?
    One would have known what those air defense capabilities were like, but I guess not.
    Oh well!

  9. Drones are cute and will waste a flesh and steel. Reinforced concrete still needs the KE of iron bombs.

    1. I do have a fondness for that message being sent; sometimes messages are the most important things.

      I notice your Pollievre was very quick to congratulate Urrutia and Machado; very correct and magnanimous of him to do so.

  11. “the operation was set into motion at 8 p.m. Caracas time on Friday, when B-1 bombers lifted off from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, according to flight-tracking data. Roughly 150 other aircraft from bases across the Western Hemisphere followed, said Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff”

    Basically the Americans opened up a can of whoop-ass.

    2. In all honesty, I highly doubt the American military would put all our men’s lives, equipment, and operational success into the hands of one or more so-called friendlies who … promised … to help out with life or death operations. Nope.

  13. The highly Militarized & geographically easier to defend Venezuela fell in three hours yet there are libtarded elbows uppers that still think a dismally armed, grievously obese & incompetent Canadian Forces could defend Canada against an American invasion. Canada couldn’t defend themselves against the LA Country Sherriff dept
