'Brilliant tactically...': Trump boasts Venezuela raid proved US military power like never before

At a Republican event in Washington, Donald Trump gushed over the operation that captured Nicolás Maduro, calling it “an amazing military feat” and bragging that 152 aircraft and “a lot of boots on the ground” carried it out with “nobody” killed on the U.S. side while “many, many” Cubans died. He described how U.S. forces cut power “for almost the entire country” to shock Caracas into darkness, before declaring that the intervention proved America had the “most powerful, most lethal, most sophisticated and most fearsome” military on the planet.
