00:00Why did the U.S. attack Venezuela?
00:02On January 3, 2026, the U.S. launched a military operation in Venezuela.
00:08The Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife were captured in the capital Caracas in six minutes,
00:14meaning Will's gay speech lasted longer than the entire operation.
00:17The U.S. took control of the country.
00:19So why did this happen?
00:21President Trump claims it was an operation to restore democracy to Venezuela.
00:25He accused President Maduro of human rights violations and, with many drug cartels residing there,
00:31claimed Venezuela had become a threat to the United States.
00:34However, many people are skeptical of this.
00:37As Venezuela holds one of the largest oil reserves in the world,
00:41they suspect that this was a prospect for resources rather than a just cause.
00:45Others take it even farther, claiming that the U.S. was allowed to take Venezuela
00:49in exchange for China receiving Taiwan and Russia receiving eastern Ukraine.
