       I find it completely plausible that we snatched maduro with minimal resistance and I also find it completely plausible that there was some kind of deal made to facilitate a coupa lot of people are assuming it *has to be* the latter because of how quick and easy it was. that's dumb

       @professionalbigot69 @deprecated_ii for all the flak the general military gets for its retards, a competent leading structure in charge of special forces teams can get some crazy stuff done.  Those operators are no joke.

       @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 @deprecated_ii It wasn't crazy. Venezuela didn't fire at the helicopters. They let them fly in land and leave. Even somalis has shot down Blackhawks.

       @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @professionalbigot69 @deprecated_ii yeah, I suspected when Madura started talking about being open to negotiations with the U.S. a couple days ago, that there was elements in his regime that would hand him over for a role in the new one.

       @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 yeah, blackhawks hovering perfectly still in broad daylight with no suppression. what's hard about that?air defense is a lot harder than it looks in the movies. much more competent countries than venezuela have shot down their own airliners mistaking them for threats

       @deprecated_ii @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @professionalbigot69 it’s hard to say for sure without seeing how the infil and exfil went. but I do remember someone talking about how incompetent the Venezuelans looked in their training videos not too long ago too.

       @deprecated_ii @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 Somalis did pretty good with no air defenses at all. Nobody egresses into an another country with helicopters like that unless they KNOW FOR A FACT they will not be engaged bybair defenses. The Venezuelan opposition has already stated that maduro was handed to the Americans in an exchange between the current government and them. And that's the opposition that's controlled by America saying that.

       @Jewpacabra @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @professionalbigot69 not much infil required, caracas is right on the coast. they would've been in venezuelan territory for what, like 25 minutes round trip? less? and mostly over their territorial waters, not land. whoever had authority to fire probably wasn't even out of bed before it was all over

       @deprecated_ii @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 They knew where maduro was exactly. Nobody fired a shot at the Americans. Nobody. Dude. You have to get the Reagan era rambo shit out of your head.

       @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @deprecated_ii @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 30 years of experience here talking w/SOF experience included.  These days, there are birds we have (REALLY Hi-Tech shid) That NO ONE can see nor here.  One got accidentally 'exposed' on the Bin Laden raid when it had a mechanical, and  they had to blow it in place. (the tail rotor which had never been publically seen before unfortunately didn't get smoked, revealing the 'secret' so to speak) THAT raid happened RIGHT NEXT TO one of the biggest Paki DotMil camps they had... and THAT was 20 years ago+/-WTF do you think these guys are rolling in now?  -I- haven't got a clue but the Secret Squirrels in the deepest darkest Hangars sure AF do I bet.  Not at ALL improbable they pulled it off.  Nevermind even IF they went with 'current tech' (MH-6s MH-60s)   The MH-6 is sooooo fucking smol and sooooo fucking fast, it's like a Very Large Hummingbird, except w/miniguns and rockets. Those coming in 'on the deck' w/ TF-160 flying 'em?  Oh a snatch and grab is most possible (like they did w/Noriega) @mothersmurfer @BattleDwarfGimli will probably agree

       @BCE @deprecated_ii @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 @mothersmurfer @BattleDwarfGimli Btw. Those "super stealth" bin Laden helicopters were detected immediately by Pakistan that scrambled two jets to intercept and got a phone call from the Americans to back off. Its all public record btw.

       @deprecated_ii @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 In iraq usa just bribed off generals to turn off air defense, I assume its the same situation.

       I recall rumors of cargo containers arriving to Vz from various BRICS origins, and thought perhaps air defense and drones and whatnot, but maybe not. This is where we find out where are the loyalties of the Vz army. Will the whole kaboodle of 'em just stand down, like the Syrian army??  Or will there be resistance?

       Those "super stealth" helicopters really only work to confuse ground elements for just long enough to get right on top of the target. I got to see an early one do its thing during an exercise. They're on you, way before you realize it's even in the area.

       @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @deprecated_ii @Jewpacabra @professionalbigot69 Most Americans are still unaware that the Gulf War "victories" were via CIA bribes. It's easy to beat an opponent if you can pay them to not fight back.
