#141: Operation Absolute Resolve: The End of Maduro and the Future of Venezuela
Mon Jan 05 2026
On January 3rd, 2026, the U.S. military performed the most high-stakes extraction in modern history. Operation Absolute Resolve didn't just remove a dictator; it reset the geopolitical map of the Western Hemisphere.
In this episode, host Kevin Muñoz explores the dual realities of the Venezuelan strike. On one side, a "surgical" removal of a narco-terrorist leader to face justice in New York. On the other, a nation in crisis, a defiant Vice President in Delcy Rodríguez, and a looming corporate battle over the world's largest oil reserves.
We dive into:
The Tactics: How 150 aircraft blinded a nation in 30 minutes.
The History: Why this feels like Panama 1989 and Guatemala 1954 all over again.
The Economy: Trump's "Reimbursement Model" and the $110 billion price tag to fix a rotting industry.
Is this the dawn of Venezuelan democracy, or the return of the Monroe Doctrine?
