What happened in Venezuela? | Hybrid Warfare or Regime Change?

What really happened in# Venezuela — an orchestrated regime change or the culmination of decades of hybrid warfare? In this episode of Project Jaag, we unpack one of the most dramatic geopolitical flashpoints of 2026 and explore how Venezuela ended up at the intersection of domestic crisis and international power politics. On January 3, 2026, U.S. special forces executed a high-stakes operation in Caracas, capturing #PresidentNicolasMaduro and his wife and flying them to the United States on narcotics and terrorism charges — an act that stunned the world and raised urgent questions of international law, sovereignty, and the future of the region. In the aftermath, Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim president, but political legitimacy is contested and tensions run high. Armed colectivos and paramilitary groups patrol the streets of the capital, journalists and political figures have been detained, and foreign military presence looms large.
