In a stunning overnight development, reports indicate that Nicolás Maduro has been taken into custody following a U.S. military operation inside Venezuela. For years, Maduro’s rule has been marked by disputed elections, allegations of cartel and narco-state ties, brutal crackdowns on political opposition, and the collapse of Venezuela’s economy that sent millions fleeing the country. Now, the man who once seemed untouchable is reportedly no longer in power. In this episode, we break down what is known so far, what remains unconfirmed, and why this moment did not come out of nowhere. We examine the long trail of election controversies, international criminal accusations, and why capture operations that resemble past CIA renditions appear to be making a return. We also explain the difference between Title 10 and Title 50 authorities, and what this operation signals for Venezuela, the region, and global power dynamics going forward. This is not just a breaking news story, it may be the beginning of a major geopolitical shift.
