The SHOCKING Strikes That Cleared the Way to End Maduro's Regime

About this video

Max breaks down Operation Absolute Resolve, the January 2026 U.S. military operation he describes that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He analyzes the aircraft, weapons systems, and tactical approach he says were used to neutralize Venezuela’s Russian-supplied air defenses, walking through how F-35s, F-18s, and other platforms coordinated in what he characterizes as a suppression of enemy air defenses mission. Max frames this as a potential template for future operations and discusses the geopolitical implications he sees unfolding.

Key takeaways

• Max describes how F-35s served as the lead aircraft in his account, using stealth and sensor fusion to identify and neutralize surface-to-air missile sites while coordinating with F-18 Growlers for electronic jamming
• According to Max’s analysis, the operation combined cyber attacks on infrastructure, intelligence from drones and human sources, and multi-domain coordination between air, electronic warfare, and special operations forces
• Max argues this operation demonstrates a repeatable playbook for hybrid threat scenarios and could influence future conflicts involving cartels, proxy wars, or power vacuums
