YouTube Description
as posted by the channelClay and Buck interview former Navy SEAL David Rutherford, a Clay & Buck Podcast Network host and tactical training expert, who breaks down the recent U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.In early January 2026 (just days ago, on January 3), U.S. forces—primarily Army Delta Force operators, supported by extensive CIA intelligence gathering, drones, airstrikes, and possibly SEAL Team 6 maritime elements—conducted a daring pre-dawn raid in Caracas. The operation, codenamed "Absolute Resolve," successfully extracted Maduro and his wife from their residence with no U.S. casualties, marking a high-risk capture of a foreign head of state amid narco-terrorism charges.Rutherford praises it as a "tactical masterclass" and ranks it among the top 5 military operations of all time, comparing its precision, surprise, and execution to iconic raids like the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011. The video likely has Rutherford analyzing the op's planning, intelligence work, and special forces tactics in detail.
