Venezuela Leader Nicolas Maduro Still Under Threat Of US Troops, Battle Is Not Over Yet

A former U.S. special forces soldier has said that his troops are still in action against the Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

The former soldier, Jordan Goudreau, described the preparedness of battle against Maduro in a video released Sunday, May 3. The video came hours after Maduro claimed that the see invasion near Venezuela’s main international airport by the U.S. has been foiled.

Goudreau dismissed Maduro’s claims by stating that the battle against the Venezuelan leader is still not over and that the units of troops across the south, west and east of Venezuela have been activated.

Goudreau has been previously linked to a failed and half-baked plot to invade Venezuela and topple Maduro as its leader. He recorded the video from an undisclosed location and since then, there have been no reports of any activities in the capital, Caracas. Additionally, he did not give any evidence to support his claims.

Earlier on Sunday, Venezuela’s interior minister Néstor Reverol claimed that some of the terrorist mercenaries were shot down while others were detained after a failed attempt to make landfall using speedboats. This happened about 20 miles north of Caracas, near the port city of La Guaira.

Reverol further indicated that the U.S.-backed assault was an attempt to plot the murder of the leader of Venezuela’s “revolutionary government.” He further promised to remain in a permanent state of alert and resistance and revealed that a search is on to locate any of the renaming invaders.

The two U.S. citizens detained in Venezuela have been identified as Aaron Berry and Luke Denman, as identified by Goudreau. He further added that both of them were working with him before they were detained with 8 others by Venezuelan authorities after the failed attempt to overthrow Maduro. The identity for either of the detainees has not been released by the authorities.

Meanwhile, opposition leader Juan Guiado questioned the events as narrated by Maduro saying that it is an attempt to distract attention from the other ongoing issues, including the gang battle in Caracas and the infamous prison riot.
