General ‘Razin’ Caine Reveals Stunning Details Behind Maduro Capture

In a remarkable show of military coordination and strategic dominance, U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan “Razin” Caine unveiled the behind-the-scenes execution of Operation Absolute Resolve the elite mission that led to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Speaking at a press conference Saturday, General Caine described the mission as “months in the making”, involving every branch of the U.S. military, as well as key intelligence partners, including the CIA, NSA, and NGA.

“This operation was discreet, precise, and conducted during the darkest hours of January 2,” Caine said. “It was the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal an operation that, frankly, only the United States military could undertake.”

Key Highlights of the Operation:

• Over 150 aircraft were launched across the Western Hemisphere in tightly timed coordination.

• The goal insert interdiction forces directly into downtown Caracas, the heart of a hostile, militarized capital.

• Air, land, sea, space, and cyber assets worked in flawless unison to preserve the element of surprise and minimize collateral damage.

• A total of six high-value targets were apprehended, including Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

General Caine emphasized that the mission was built on decades of experience hunting terrorists a testament to America’s battlefield evolution since 9/11. But he made it clear this was something entirely new.

“This was an audacious operation that only the United States could do,” he said. “The word ‘integration’ doesn’t even begin to explain the sheer complexity of such a mission.”

The general also praised the courage of those who flew into the most dangerous airspace in the Western Hemisphere: “Those in the air over Caracas last night were willing to give their lives for those on the ground and in the helicopters.”

The logistical challenge alone was staggering. Caine explained how aircraft converged from multiple U.S. bases and overseas commands, each tasked with a precise role in the layered strike: surveillance, jamming, air superiority, refueling, insertion, extraction each mission dependent on the perfect execution of the others.

“Failure of one component would have endangered the entire mission,” Caine said. “And failure is never an option for America’s joint force.”

Meanwhile, Maduro and his co-conspirators are now facing justice. According to a newly unsealed indictment, the former Venezuelan strongman and his wife were charged with narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking, and firearms violations, marking the end of an era of tyranny in Venezuela.

Operation Absolute Resolve wasn’t just a military success it was a message to the world. The United States is still the one nation capable of reaching into the heart of a hostile dictatorship and removing a regime leader with surgical precision.

And as General Caine made clear, that kind of mission doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because America leads.
