Maduro’s Out: Now What?

Delsey herself publicly refused to cooperate with the US, insisting on Maduro's return and stating Venezuela would not become a colony. The video warns that if Maduro is succeeded by Delsey or another similar regime member, conditions in Venezuela could worsen. The new regime might become more paranoid, using Maduro's abduction as an excuse to crack down on dissent, leading to greater instability.

The video opens by describing a hypothetical scenario where the US military successfully extracts Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro in a 'snatch and grab' operation. The raid is portrayed as remarkably successful with no US casualties, and Maduro is indicted in a US court. This act is hailed as a victory by Trump and his allies, but the video immediately raises questions about what happens next.

The best-case scenario for Trump involves Maduro being replaced by a pro-American or democratically-minded leader. This new leadership would oversee a democratic restoration and open Venezuela to American business interests, particularly in the oil sector, mirroring the 1989 Panama intervention. Such an outcome would benefit ordinary Venezuelans, alleviate regional migration and drug issues, and provide American oil companies access to Venezuela's heavy crude, potentially allowing the US to influence global oil prices and exert pressure on rivals like Russia and Iran. It could also weaken China's access to Venezuelan crude, bolstering US geopolitical standing.

However, the video highlights the unlikelihood of this best-case scenario. Trump's statements create confusion about Maduro's successor, ruling out opposition leader Maria Karina Machado due to a perceived lack of 'respect within the country'. Instead, Trump seems to suggest an arrangement with Maduro's vice president, Delsey, who was in Russia at the time of the hypothetical operation. This creates a contradictory situation regarding who would lead Venezuela.

If Trump's ideal scenario fails, the US faces a dilemma: allow Venezuela to descend into chaos with regional risks, or intervene again. Trump himself has suggested the possibility of a 'second and much larger attack' and even implied indefinite US administration of Venezuela, funded by its oil reserves. This further intervention, however, would be risky and controversial, drawing criticism from the international community and a plurality of Americans who oppose military action or an open-ended occupation.

The video concludes by emphasizing that while Trump's best-case scenario isn't impossible, there is significant uncertainty. The potential for a bad outcome, where Venezuela's situation deteriorates further, is high. The video then transitions to a promotional segment for the channel's magazine, 'Tulong'.
