Casualties in the U.S. Operation That Captured Maduro

🔥

Multiple outlets report that Venezuelan officials confirmed deaths, but only one source provides a specific number:

At least 40 people killed

  • According to The Indian Express, citing early Venezuelan government reports, “at least 40 people including civilians and soldiers were killed” in the U.S. strike on Caracas.

Injuries

  • The same report describes multiple civilians injured, including:
    • An 80‑year‑old woman killed and another resident critically injured in Catia La Mar.
  • Other outlets (AP, PBS) note that people were killed, but emphasize that the full scale of casualties remains unclear.
So the only concrete number available is 40+ dead, with an unspecified number of injured.

  • President Trump stated that no U.S. troops were killed, but some were injured during the operation.
  • One U.S. helicopter was hit by fire but remained flyable.

"Everyone paying attention yet?
The world just changed course. Venezuela holds 303 billion barrels of oil and the largest reserves on earth. That oil is now under U.S. control in every way that actually matters.
Access, movement, financing, and who is allowed to profit from it. That means hostile regimes, narco-states, and cartels no longer use Venezuela’s oil to bankroll cocaine, fentanyl pipelines, money laundering, or proxy wars against Americans. In a wartime scenario, this is decisive. Whoever controls energy, controls logistics, manufacturing, transportation, and the ability to sustain a fight.
By locking down Venezuela’s oil, ports, and maritime routes, the United States chokes enemy fuel supplies, stabilizes our own energy position, pressures global markets, and denies adversaries strategic depth in the Caribbean and Gulf of America.
Energy equals power in modern war. Controlling Venezuela’s oil doesn’t just stabilize U.S. energy, it denies fuel, money, and strategic depth to our adversaries. It weakens China economically and industrially, and Iran financially and militarily without firing a single shot. That’s how you win before a war ever starts.
Modern warfare isn’t about occupying land, it’s about controlling supply chains, chokepoints, and cash flow. And that balance just shifted hard, without an occupation, without a drawn-out war, and without losing a single American soldier. That’s not chaos. That’s power. 🇺🇸"
