Will #Trump extract #Putin from Russia the same way he did with #Maduro?
The question is based on a misunderstanding of current events. Nicolás Maduro was not extracted from Russia; he was recently captured in Venezuela by U.S. forces as of the current date, January 4, 2026.
The United States carried out a military operation in Venezuela to capture President Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who are now in U.S. custody in New York to face drug and weapons charges. This was an extraordinary and controversial action by the U.S. government to achieve regime change. [2, 3, 4, 5]
It is highly improbable that the U.S. would attempt a similar operation to extract Russian President Vladimir Putin from Russia, primarily due to the potential for a massive, full-scale conflict with a nuclear-armed power. Russia is a major global military power, unlike Venezuela, and an attempt to seize its leader on Russian soil would be an act of war with potentially catastrophic consequences. [6]
The recent operation against Maduro has prompted international discussion and analysis regarding the U.S. strategy toward other authoritarian nations, including Russia and China, with analysts pointing out the vastly different geopolitical implications. [7, 8]
