2025 US and Venezuela Conflict - Operation Just Cause 2: 2 Just 2 Cause

[jalopy]

More reports- Delcy seems to have been in on it- but we seem to have ended up with the second proposal?

Foreign Minister was in charge of negotiations to end sanctions. More at 11

Maybe I am out there with this but maybe, just maybe, the Venezuelans are so fractious and incompetent and the United States so competent that this operation was as reported? Why was Maduro protected by Cubans? Because he didn't trust any other group in the country. How did the US know where he was? He movements were public knowledge, and signals intelligence makes up for the rest. Why is the current government falling apart? Because they didn't trust each other and Maduro made sure none had a large enough power base to threaten him.

This comes off as the typical South American belief that the Americans are responsible for everything. While games are certainly played it is worth mentioning that historically it is the leaders of these countries inviting the US in. Columbia, Mexico, and Chile have done this. Could it have happened here? Perhaps but the most likely candidate, Delcy, would have to rely on flipping the military and police enough to back her. Or the United States giving her security guarantees LMAO. The other candidates do not have the economic and managerial capacity to do what the United States wants, correct and redirect oil flows.

Way up thread this Substack was posted and while the analysis is narrow (military economics and the Pentagon Deep State was the one true reason!) it touches on the broader analysis of "Yes And". Oil and critical minerals and drugs and immigration and power games and Monroe Doctrine and China and Russia and Iran and Cuba and so on. There is not a single strategic interest of the United States that is not served by dumping this incompetent, corrupt regime and swapping to a newer, more amiable one. How well it is done is yet to be seen but if accomplished successfully not only will Trump have conquered Iraq Fatigue he will have also shifted Latin American politics even more pro-United States.

If not, then hopefully the theoretical Venezuelan Civil War thread has some kino combat footage as a silver lining because fuck.

Cilia Flores appears registered in the US prison system.

Venezuelans are classed as white?

 

[Hillary Clinton's Ass]

Going back into dynamics between the different Venezuelan factions- interesting takeaway point- Delcy is the 'acting president', which allows her to avoid triggering the Article 233 30-day election requirement:

I think the Supreme Court named acting president under Article 234, temporal absence of the president, which gives her a maximum of 180 days until they have to call elections. But that's not gonna happen, the Bolivarian government doesn't give shit about the constitution and the US is very clear in their objectives, stabilization, economic recovery and later, maybe, elections.

Speaking of the economy, the black market exchange rate of US dollars to Bolivars is close to reaching 200%.

Its MachadOVER

It was over after the 29th of July back in 2024. And when she left the country and received the Nobel Peace Prize, that was her political funeral.

Venezuelans are classed as white?

Whiter than the average Groyper.

I wonder if the Oil money injection, will be enough to stop the USDT reign of terror.

I can't believe they tagged that bitch as "WHITE" fucking lmao

Whiter than Somalians, at least.

PDVSA moves forward in negotiations for the sale of crude oil volumes to the United States

Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) reports that it is currently engaged in negotiations with the United States for the sale of oil volumes, within the framework of the commercial relations that exist between both countries.

This process is being carried out under schemes similar to those currently in place with international companies, such as Chevron, and is based on a strictly commercial transaction, with criteria of legality, transparency, and mutual benefit.

PDVSA reaffirms its commitment to continue building alliances that promote national development in favor of the Venezuelan people and that contribute to global energy stability.

Here's the two courtroom sketches of Maduro and his wife in court this morning:

Did these retards hire the WikiHow guy as a court sketch artist?

 

[They were once men]

Trump on the phone with Vlad tomorrow

 

[AnOminous]

I would much rather my tax dollars be used to actually fucking use them than to pay for them to sit in a hangar while the deltas go to the clearing range for the 300th time this year.

I wonder how many of our bombing runs are based on the idea that it's cheaper to drop them on someone than to demil them.

Reddit is already calling Americans "pirates" for seizing Russian assets. I thought Trump was Putin's cockholster, Reddit? What happened?

Do these clowns not know what a blockade is?

Putin really has gotten too used to bullying little European countries.

Speaking of crypto...

Spoiler: Translated text

Research published by Whale Hunting suggests that the Venezuelan government may have consolidated one of the largest reserves of bitcoin (BTC) and digital currencies in the world.

According to the report, Nicolás Maduro's administration would have systematically converted state income into digital assets, accumulating an estimated figure of USD 60,000 million.



If these are confirmed data, the Venezuelan State would control more than 600,000 bitcoin. A figure that would rival the holdings of institutional giants. Among them, Strategy (673,000 BTC) and the bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issued by BlackRock (770,000 BTC). I would also compete with himself Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin (1.1 million BTC).

Whale Hunting is a medium specialized in documenting global financial crimes and money laundering networks. His importance in this investigation lies in his ability to trace the money behind some of the world's most brazen financial crimes and expose the networks of people who enable them, using high-level human intelligence (HUMINT) sources.

The origin of the reserve: from gold to bitcoin​

The investigation details that the accumulation of this digital treasure formally began in 2018, in a context of international sanctions and economic crisis.

According to Whale Hunting journalists, «the Venezuelan government exported 73.2 tons of gold in 2018 alone, approximately USD 2.7 billion at the time». The scheme would have consisted of selling this mineral in markets in Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates to then convert the income into digital currency.


The report highlights that temporality was a key factor for the growth of this reserve. «Venezuela began moving gold seriously in 2018, when bitcoin was trading between USD 3,000 and USD 10,000», they highlighted.

«If just a fraction of that amount were converted to Bitcoin when prices ranged between $3,000 and $10,000, and held up to the $69,000 peak in 2021, the gains would be staggering», they noted.

The research outlet described a «systematic effort to convert gold revenue into bitcoin through OTC brokers in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates». This, later using mixers (mixers) and cold wallets (cold wallets) to keep assets out of the reach of international justice.

The magnitude of these holdings sparked debate among market analysts about the impact that the seizure of these assets by US authorities would have.


This, taking into account that Nicolás Maduro he was arrested by the United States on January 3, in a military operation, as reported by CriptoNoticias. He was taken to New York, where he will be tried for narcoterrorism crimes and weapons possession. It emerged on Monday, January 5, that the president declared innocent of all the charges against him.

According to data from analysts from investigative entities such as Serenity, it is very likely that, as a result of his arrest, the BTC managed by the Maduro administration be seized «and immediately entangled in complex litigation».

«Creditors will file court orders and the Department of Justice will demand forfeiture. Additionally, private keys to the wallets will be in the custody of the US Treasury, but coins will not be able to move», they explain.

Serinity analysts point out that the seizure of 600,000 BTC would cause volatility in the price of the digital currency in the short term. This is due to political uncertainty, which would lead to a bullish narrative resulting from a «supply shock».


«The market will be aware that 600,000 BTC (3% of the outstanding supply) will be effectively withdrawn from the market over 5-10 years. This will act as a huge ‘lockdown’, reducing liquidity supply and supporting higher prices», he assured.

Likewise, Serenity believes that the narrative of the US strategic bitcoin reserve. The US will gain momentum. They believe that US President Donald Trump could order Venezuela's more than 600,000 BTC become part of the US treasury. «This also acts as a massive lockdown, reducing liquidity supply and sustaining higher prices», they note.

Uncertainty about access to private keys​

Despite the astronomical figures, Whale Hunting warns that full control of these funds depends on those who own the private keys.

With key figures in the scheme in custody or missing, the question arises as to whether this capital can be recovered or whether «it will fade into the blockchain, accessible only to those who hold the keys», researchers say.


«The question is no longer whether the regime can survive. It is whether his stolen fortune can be recovered, or whether it will vanish on the blockchain», the journalists conclude.

While the market assimilates the possibility that Venezuela is a «bitcoin superpower»- the shortage of the primary digital asset appears to be reinforced by the prospect of an imminent prolonged lockdown of digital currencies that might otherwise have been liquidated.

In an ideal world, this would spark the beginning of stamping out this retarded socialism and corruption in mexico and most of south America, then build something similar to the EU, only not cucked.

Its a very retarded way of coping, but I just wanna one up Europe on everything, including that gay little union they have.

absolutely fucking not. NAFTA was bad enough, this would be a brown nightmare.

I think the great American hero, General Sline, put it best: A weapon unused is a useless weapon.

She is a legit interim president, she got the title by the supreme and the congress, what its omitted is that 30 days are the FIRST time limit, it can be extended to 6 months

I think so, especially since PDVSA just published this on their Instagram page.

Caracas, January 7, 2026.

This news has hit the chavizmo like a nuke, especially because Diosdado less than 2 weeks ago was screaming that the americans were NEVER going to see a single drop of oil from Venezuela, the usual suspects are going ballistic because they have lost their ATM, the expectations is that Rubio is going to assign cough i mean SUGGEST a new PDVSA ceo to start the recovery process

Also he promises to fix our power grid, bro this is like jesus giving fish to his disciples, our power grid suck ass

 

[lurker7274519]

Would he plan to economically blockade them? A military revolt is much more likely now that the US has it hand in the doorknob.

Also he promises to fix our power grid, bro this is like jesus giving fish to his disciples, our power grid suck ass

It is not even production, the whole system needs to be fixed.

— Amid tears, Joana Sánchez, a key figure in Aragua State, accuses the current Venezuelan Leadership of Treason and vows to avenge Nicolás Maduro.

In Miraflores, it's an open secret that Sánchez was Maduro's mistress, which explains why she is deeply affected by his detention.

 

[msd]

absolutely fucking not. NAFTA was bad enough, this would be a brown nightmare.

Thats why I said it was me coping, snd that this would only happen in an ideal world.

Ideally, id love for my side of the planet to be an economic powerhouse, where both north and south America regularly bully the EU economically, but the world isnt fair.

Maduro could only get a 6/10 like her for a mistress? Did all the big booty latinas escape to the US?

 

[Hillary Clinton's Ass]

God, I hope so. The "power distribution scheme" started early this year, at least in my city. No power since noon.

He accounted this for and day 1 Diosdado and Padrino were told by the CIA that if they dont start smiling for the group picture they are going to get the Pinochet ride like their puppet already verified are very comfy

In Miraflores, it's an open secret that Sánchez was Maduro's mistress, which explains why she is deeply affected by his detention.

$he is deeply $$$ affected $$$ by hi$ arre$t

She is a whore plain and simple ignore her

Why these bunch of news that are happen today is confirming the rumour that the Chavizmo was divided in 3 factions, the presidential faction (that was Cilia and Maduro it died when he got Ghost Recon out of the country), the civilian faction (leadered by the rodriguez brother) and the military faction (Padrino and Diosdado), the facts are piling up that confirm the "CIA asset" that sold Maduro to remove him out of the equation were the Civilian faction with Diosdado and Padrino knowing absolutely nothing for months, this also is confirmed by the unusual silence of Jorge a guy that loved to get in the mic in the congress to insult and throw slurs to the enemies of the revolution

Diosdado and Padrino are desperately using the colectivos (because the army doesnt want to cooperate that much now) to try to find traitors even when the traitors are now inside Miraflores selling whatever its left to the Americans, Diosdado is in a horrible position because he got warned he was going to be next if he doesnt accept the terms of the transition, this come after a Zoom call where he is complaining about the state of affairs and asking the military to take Cilia out to put the old Bolivarian regime again, but after Maduro retrieval no one want to listen because everyone is paranoic about also getting a helicopter ride, so he is right on tv trying to not blow his head off before the next elections

PLEASE PLEASE, LET THEM DO A COUP. IT WOULD BE SO FUCKING FUNNY.

 

[StacticShock]

because they know their worth, either a white papi or a rich nigger, their local meat is garbage tier it seems.

Ideally, id love for my side of the planet to be an economic powerhouse, where both north and south America regularly bully the EU economically, but the world isnt fair.

with that argentina deal that got french farmers upset, yeah, the mericas could easily economically bully the fuck out of eurocucks but CIA doesn't get a payday and Israel doesn't get foreskins if there is harmony.
