On Saturday, January 3, 2026, the United States apparently unleashed what Reuters called a 'large scale strike' inside Venezuela, allegedly capturing President Maduro, though the Pentagon and White House chose all reasons of silence over sharing juicy specifics. The unnamed US official, speaking with the mystique of a witness at a magic show, divulged nothing but insisted on anonymity.

In short, diplomacy met 'who cares about transparency,' and the fireworks were mostly hearsay.
