AMERICA JUST KIDNAPPED A FOREIGN PRESIDENT. The SHOCKING weekend capture of Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife has unleashed a global firestorm, drawing BLOODCHILLING parallels to a brutal U.S. invasion from 36 years ago. This is NOT diplomacy—it’s a DANGEROUS and UNPRECEDENTED power grab that signals a terrifying new era of American imperialism.
The operation, code-named Absolute Resolve, is a DISTURBING carbon copy of the 1989 Panama invasion where U.S. forces SWARMED a sovereign nation, toppled strongman Manuel Noriega, and installed a puppet government. The body count from that “Just Cause” was HUNDREDS of innocent civilians. NOW, the U.S. military has done it again, proving NO foreign leader is safe from American boots and bullets.
The most CHILLING detail? Both captures happened on the EXACT SAME DATE—January 3rd. This is no coincidence; it’s a deliberate, taunting pattern of regime change. Just like in Panama, this operation proceeded WITHOUT Congressional approval, a FLAGRANT violation of constitutional war powers that exposes the frightening autonomy of the military-industrial complex.
Back then, U.S. troops blared rock music to TORTURE Noriega out of an embassy. Today, they simply SNATCH a sitting head of state from his own capital. The escalation is TERRIFYING. President Trump has announced the U.S. will now “run” Venezuela, a brazen admission of colonial occupation that the global community is POWERLESS to stop.
This reckless act has already provoked FURY from China and Russia, pushing the world closer to the brink of MAJOR POWER CONFLICT. The ghosts of Panama’s dead are screaming a warning we are choosing to ignore. America is no longer the world’s policeman—it has become its most DANGEROUS vigilante.
The precedent is now set: any regime deemed an enemy can be VANISHED by U.S. special forces. As we celebrate one dictator’s fall, we must ask ourselves a HARROWING question—whose sovereignty disappears next?
