Behold, one of the primary voices of the "dirtbag" left

Footage of Maduro being moved to a secure DEA facility out of the back of an MRAP. You can see several heavily armed and armoured SRT operators running around

Maduro in custody looking oddly jovial with DEA agents

The disparity between the lists I'm on sure are interesting

Looks like leg and arm shackles with a bag

Obscene amount of agents

They are now walking him

About every agency in the federal government is boarding the plane

The plane carrying maduro has landed. I assume they're about to perp walk him

Sa_Defensa on Twitter confirmed this to be a Buk-M2E cooking off. This is a Russian export of the Buk-M2 which was put into service by the Russian army in 2008. Venezuela had very few of these

In all seriousness though I really hope this works out for the people of Venezuela and this was the support they needed to resist against a government that has been oppressing them for a very long time. However in the long-term I am very concerned about what this means for the region and Taiwan

Nuclear levels of discourse now occurring, do people not get bored of this?

Twitter has now devolved into people Sephiroth posting about the vents of the past 24 hours so now I can finally actually stop using it

One of the first photos of Maduro's arrest

DIA analyst in 6 months: "why does the Sinaloa cartel have a BUK-M2E?"

F-22s, F-35s, F/A-18s, EA-18s, and B-1 bombers specifically named during their operation

Unknown vessel burning up in La Guaira port. This is the Country's main port. From what I can find the Bolivarian coast guard has a presence here

Surprised they did this during a very bright full moon

Longer footage of the strafing run

Attack helicopter providing very close direct fire support. Based on the rocket pods and minigun fire this is likely an MH-60L DAP or AH-6, both of which are used by the 160th SOAR

Venezuelan security forces seem to be in a state of general disarray right now. I imagine there's probably widespread panic

Big explosion occurred at Higuerote Airport This is a civilian airport located in the state of Miranda 90 km east of the capital

More images of strikes coming in from around Caracas

I cannot fucking believe this is happening

Multiple explosions going off in Caracas. Likely from munitions impacts

Chinooks flying low over Caracas. It should be noted that Venezuela does NOT operate this helicopter

Oh my fucking god I think they just invaded Venezuela

Last straw with the app tbh, I'll use it for the osint but I'm done posting there

If you're wondering how things are going on twitter — I'm not making this up — Grok's new image generation capabilities has resulted in people prompting it to produce child porn of real children and unconsensually produce explicit images of women in pornographic situations Yes that is Auschwitz.

When I say something dumb on here I do it on purpose to give you guys the bonding experience of yelling at me together. I do it as a public service

Oh boy, I get to post this on here too

I completely memory holed that not even 6 months ago there was a serious tabling that mexico was going to be ground invaded by US Special Forces trying to act out the Sicario movies

One of the most brazen coercive actions I've ever seen in my life

It's just going to be this every quarter for the next 3 years

Its insane this dude was the director of intelligence for CENTCOM, director of intelligence of the Joint Staff, director of intelligence for ISAF, and director of the DIA (under Obama)

The DoD is actually one giant practical joke being played on INDOPACOM.

This will be replacing the DDG(X) btw so good luck on getting a new hull anytime before 2040

According to Trump the ship will be armed with guns, lasers, railguns, missiles, AND NUCLEAR CRUISE MISSILES

First official rendering of the just announced Trump class (USS Defiant)

RIP F/A-XX program, you were a real one

Hard to explain to people that Russian State TV regularly does segments essentially elaborately fantasizing about nuking London and New York on a regular basis

Some photos from their (oddly) publicly available website.

Operators from the now disbanded Special Emergency Response Team of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They would be superseded by Joint Task Force 2 in the Canadian Armed Forces

The extremely unique Raytheon Canada MK.III Sea Sparrow launchers on the Canadian Iroquois Class destroyer, before its TRUMP upgrade to standard MK.41 VLS. They were unique in that they had a folding system where the Sparrows would fold away when not in use 🧵1/3
