This is what many don’t realize, even if Maduro had made a deal with the Trump Administration – and I’m not saying he didn’t because there is still a lot of questions that need to be answered – him leaving Venezuela would still have likely required an operation similar to what see saw Saturday with the 160th and Delta Force. These Cubans weren’t just Maduro’s security, but also his handlers, if it looked like he was planning to flee the country or make a deal, he and his wife could have been killed by them under orders from Havana, Beijing and/or Moscow.OSINTdefender (@sentdefender)The Government of Cuba has announced that 32 Cubans were killed in the recent military operation by the United States to capture Venezuelan President President Nicolás Maduro, most of which were likely part of the security team protecting Maduro. Two days of mourning have been declared across Cuba.—  https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2007990937495142535
