US EditionForty-seven Venezuelan soldiers killed in US attack, minister says
The U.S. raid on Caracas killed 83 Venezuelan and Cuban soldiers and led to Maduro's capture, with 32 Cuban soldiers among the dead, officials said.
- On January 3, United States special operations forces bombed several Caracas neighborhoods and abducted President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores , sending them to New York to face federal charges.
- Since the summer, the Trump administration had hinted at imminent military action against Venezuela, with administration and legal commentators arguing President Donald Trump had Article II of the U.S. Constitution authority to seize an indicted foreign national without congressional approval.
- Venezuelan officials reported nine women soldiers among 47 killed earlier this month, 32 Cuban soldiers repatriated to Havana, and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said DNA tests are needed for some victims.
- Critics cautioned the operation could have grave geopolitical consequences, while legal analysts citing Article II defended the seizure under U.S. law despite unresolved international law questions.

My Dream for BRICS and its Critics
Orientation With the recent kidnapping of President Maduro by Yankee imperialists, I wonder about how BRICS nations and other countries sympathetic to them such as North Korea and Iran will respond.
