Rygor Azarenok wrote on his Telegram channel that "Hugo Chavez's grave is burning, Maduro has been taken prisoner, the Judases got money, oil will go to the States," and Venezuela is no more.
"Treason decided the outcome of the matter," the propagandist writes.

"The situation in Venezuela is complex. The country has a powerful 'fifth column'. The calculation of the US military operation is to provoke an internal uprising. Over the past months, 'ducks' (rumors) have periodically been launched about Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro fleeing the country.
The further development of the situation largely depends on the ability of the Venezuelan Armed Forces to actively resist the aggressor, the readiness of the authorities to mobilize their supporters for the defense of the state, the position of Caracas's main allies in the person of Russia and China, and their determination to defend Venezuela," the propagandist writes.
A series of posts dedicated to the topic of Venezuela immediately appeared on the "Belarusian Silovik" channel. Initially, they published a humorous daily schedule for American paratroopers, by analogy with those published by Russian propagandists even before the full-scale attack on Ukraine, when the capture of Kyiv was supposed to take a few hours.

"Joking aside, that's pretty much how it all played out in Venezuela. In the end, it took 2 hours, agents, paid informants, a couple of small strikes, taking control of the sky, and the calm extraction of the neighboring country's leader to the States. No comments, in short," writes the "Belarusian Silovik".
The Z-channel "Two Majors" reposted this entry with the following caption:
"Joking aside, they conducted the operation competently, without undue deference to the 'pendosy' (a derogatory term for Americans). It's unlikely it happened without traitors inside the country; Maduro wasn't living in a bungalow, after all.
Perhaps, that's how our SMO was conceived. Fast, effective, and conclusive. It's unlikely Gerasimov planned to fight for 4 years."

Z-milblogger "Kotenok" compares the actions of the Americans with those of the Russians in Hostomel in the first hours of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. True, he forgets an important nuance: that the "SMO" has been going on for almost four years, and Russian soldiers were later noted for brutal killings of civilians as well.
"The Americans in Venezuela are copying the actions of Russian army special forces in the first hours of the SMO in Hostomel in 2022.
A bridgehead for expanding the operation has been established and is being held. However, unlike the Hostomel operation, the Americans are not encountering significant resistance from the security structures of the Bolivarian Republic. Treason or paralysis, or both.
According to some reports, Caracas International Airport is already under the control of US troops and is ready to receive transport planes with equipment."

Propagandist Margarita Simonyan reacted concisely but eloquently to the events in Venezuela.
"We will be envious, Comrade Beria," she wrote.
