Maduro ousted in US raid, a major win for Trump ~ Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
“After months of escalating pressure, the Trump administration executed a raid backed by CIA assets inside Venezuela’s military. US strikes reportedly neutralized air defenses, allowing Delta forces to extract Maduro with minimal resistance. The result: regime change without a prolonged war or American boots on the ground.
“Ian argues this is a major political win for Trump, achieved without large-scale civilian casualties, but warns it reinforces a dangerous precedent. This wasn’t about democracy or drugs. It was about power. “If Trump doesn’t like you and thinks he can take you out, he will,” Ian says.”
