A Venezuelan living in Colombia waves a Venezuelan flag and a U.S. flag at Plaza de Bolivar to celebrate after U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. has struck Venezuela and captured its President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, in Bogota, Colombia, Jan. 3, 2026.

UNITED STATES MILITARY ACTION has resulted in the CAPTURE of a foreign leader—and Wall Street is CELEBRATING. In a SHOCKING display of raw capitalism, Venezuela’s stock market has SOARED to a record high with the news of former President Nicolás Maduro’s seizure by U.S. forces. The benchmark IBC index has skyrocketed more than 130% as global investors SALIVATE over the potential plunder of a nation’s resources.
This is NOT a story of liberation, but of a brutal economic takeover. Analysts coldly state that a “pliant Venezuela” would allow the U.S. to “secure access to the oil sector on very favorable terms.” The message is chillingly clear: REGIME CHANGE IS PROFITABLE. International funds are now scrambling to launch the first Venezuela-focused ETF, betting billions that the nation’s devastating crisis can be monetized.
But this “rally” is built on BLOOD and SPECULATION. Venezuela’s market is notoriously illiquid—a casino for hedge funds and distressed debt vultures seeking “asymmetric upside” from a shattered country. The surge reveals a DARK TRUTH: the financial world views geopolitical instability and human suffering as a SPREADSHEET OPPORTUNITY. While citizens grapple with the aftermath of a military incursion, bondholders are positioning themselves to feast on the carcass of a defaulted economy.
The grotesque euphoria on trading floors proves that in today’s world, a nation’s tragedy is just another asset class waiting to be exploited.
