there seem to be conflicting reports, Russia and Delcy Rodriguez deny it
Good luck running the country without boots on the ground.

https://www.execfunctions.org/p/on-t...-the-venezuelaAs for the boots on the ground and the kinetic uses of force, those appear to have been justified “to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant.” This is a form of Article II self-defense argument with a long lineage. It is most akin to the “unit self-defense” that is often invoked when U.S. troops deployed abroad in violation of foreign sovereignty face “a hostile act or demonstrated hostile intent.”
Yes, it seems like bootstrapping, or worse, to say that the United States can arrest a foreign dictator on foreign soil in violation of foreign sovereignty and then invoke the self-defense of the arresting forces to bomb the country. But this is where the logic of the executive branch precedents leads. As Rebecca Ingber has explained, unit self-defense could justify “the United States using force against non-state actors who do not even have the capacity to threaten U.S. territory, in a state that has not attacked the United States, providing the groundwork for a future escalation with either that non-state actor or the state itself—and all without authorization from Congress.”

not sure what you mean
Maduro's VP Delcy Rodriguez reportedly got sworn today. Venezuela's transitional government is already in place, it is the former government.
https://www.open.online/2026/01/03/d...uro-venezuela/In the evening (Italian time), the vice president of Venezuela appeared live on TV to call for "the immediate release of President Nicolas Maduro", defined as "the only president of Venezuela", and deny any ongoing negotiations with Washington. The country, Rodriguez said, "is outraged by the illegal and illegitimate kidnapping of its president and first lady Cilia Flores. Then, the vice president appealed for calm and the "defense of life", since "history will present the bill to the extremists who promoted this armed aggression against our country". Venezuela, Rodriguez stressed, "will not be anyone's colony."

Sure Jan gif
Their messaging is so f***ing incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.
-NYTimesMarco Rubio said he’s reserving judgment on Venezuela VP Delcy Rodríguez’s denial, saying the U.S. will judge the interim authorities by their actions in the coming days and weeks and urging them to seize a “historic opportunity” to serve the country.
yep
looks like Trump let Maduro's successor take over the government
But
HER EMAILS!
and then there is this MAGA - gurl;
I guess offering the job to the guy who won the election last year wasn't expedient

if you’re suggesting that Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Machado, is in anyway a legitimate Nobel peace prize winner, then your political takes are worthless.
And you need to stop typing words in the politics section.
You're a neocon pedocon.
These are your only beliefs.
Maria Machado was in fact awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, that makes her the legitimate winner.if you’re suggesting that Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Machado, is in anyway a legitimate Nobel peace prize winner, then your political takes are worthless.
no regime change, just decapitation
https://www.correodelorinoco.gob.ve/...-la-republica/The Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela (TSJ) orders that the Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, immediately assume the presidency of the Republic, in strict compliance with the Cons ution and Venezuelan laws.
In a statement, offered by Judge Tania D'Amelio, he explained that in view of the foreign military aggression that took place on January 3, 2026, to which the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was subjected and which had as its object the kidnapping of the cons utional president, Nicolás Maduro Moros, this Cons utional Chamber of the TSJ, in exercise of the interpretative power conferred by Article 335 of the Cons ution, considers it necessary to carry out a systematic and teleological interpretation of Articles 234 and 239 of the CRBV.
This interpretation is given for the purpose of determining the applicable legal regime to guarantee the administrative continuity of the State, and the defense of the nation, in the face of the forced absence of the President of the Republic in light of the exceptional situation generated by the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro Moros, which cons utes a case of material and temporary impossibility for the exercise of his functions.
She's turned into a "both sides bad" girl?
