Venezuela - It's A Trap. In philosophical terms, everything you own owns a piece of you. Lose the battle but win the war. Where does this go? In one form or another, you have to end up in control. The U.S. got control of Maduro by kidnapping him and taking him back to America. To the cheers of a successful mission, the U.S.A invaded another country. Yeah, I am going to say it. Then they turned tail and ran with zero boots left on the ground. Hoping for the fear of what they did will create Jedi mind tricks for control.
In terms of control of Venezuela, this story in the press should tell you that things never fully go as you have planned. Hence, Trump has come out of the successful mission closet to threaten the now acting VP in Venezuela that she will pay big if she does not cooperate. Perhaps, not the regime change the U.S was looking for with the mission.

Trump told The Atlantic on Sunday that Rodriguez could face a fate similar to Maduro, who is being detained in federal prison in New York on narcoterrorism and drug trafficking charges, if she doesn’t align with U.S. interests.

3/1/2026 - US actions in Venezuela ‘constitute a dangerous precedent’: Guterres
US President Donald Trump made the announcement on social media, and the US Attorney General said Mr. Maduro and his wife would face “the full wrath of American justice on American soil, in American courts,” based on a 2020 narcoterrorism indictment during the first Trump administration, in New York.
“The Secretary-General is deeply alarmed by the recent escalation in Venezuela, culminating with today’s United States military action in the country, which has potential worrying implications for the region,” said a statement issued by UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric.
“Independently of the situation in Venezuela, these developments constitute a dangerous precedent. The Secretary-General continues to emphasize the importance of full respect - by all - of international law, including the UN Charter,” the statement continued.
“He’s deeply concerned that the rules of international law have not been respected.”
Mr. Guterres called on all parties involved to engage in “inclusive dialogue” in accordance with human rights and international law.

Trump's shotgun tactics, focus, lose focus(It's a hoax), hit and run, return to fire again, see if you move differently. Probe then reharsh(if you are not loyal). Bonespurs always tend to be on the front foot, back to Greenland after the Venezuela strike.
4/1/2026 - Trump renews push to annex Greenland after Venezuela strike
A day after the U.S. military toppled Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump appeared to have his eyes trained on the next target for American intervention: Greenland.
Since taking office in 2025, Trump has repeatedly floated buying the ice-covered Arctic island from Denmark and has refused to rule out taking the resource-rich land through military force. Trump has argued that annexing Greenland is a national security necessity, noting its mass of critical minerals and strategic location.
