ERIK PRINCE: Speed, Surprise, Violence of Action. How U.S. Forces Extracted Maduro Without Boots on the Ground

Maduro Extraction Military Power was on full display as Erik Prince joined Steve Bannon to analyze the U.S. military operation that removed Maduro without a prolonged occupation. Prince explained why the strike reflected a level of coordination, speed, and lethality no other military in the world can match.

Speed, Surprise, Violence of Action

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Erik, you have been on this show now for years saying the way to bring this to a head is to go in and extract Maduro. Talk to me about your thoughts on what happened in the last couple of hours.

ERIK PRINCE (GUEST): The phrase the president was looking for was speed, surprise, and violence of action. And US forces definitely delivered. Certainly a magnificent job. It’s truly the most refined, decisive kinetic action operation organization I think the world has ever seen. You know, back after the debacle of Desert One and the Iran hostage attempt, a rescue attempt in 79, when Congress created SOCOM, it was done to create the money and the focus to have this kind of capability, absolutely apex predator, go anywhere in the face of whatever surface-to-air missile, air defense networks, whatever. Remember, Caracas is at about 3,500 feet.

So you got to go from sea level up a mountain plateau into this bowl and hit a lot of targets simultaneously. And they did. The targeting and the intelligence to do this was spectacular.

I also must add, I’m extremely glad to see that they bombed Chavez’s grave as an extra FU to the cancer of socialism that is infected Venezuela. As I said on your show a few weeks ago, you can vote in socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it. And for the people of Venezuela that voted a year ago, July, in free elections, and it was stolen, Maduro lost by 40 points, F him.

I’m glad he’s in New York. I hope there’s some other bad people that they have to take out. Díaz-Rodrigo Cabello, Pedrino, the Minister of Defense, Jorge Indelce Rodriguez, Díaz-Rodrigo Cabello, they all have to go.

And then Venezuela has a chance at breathing free. This is not going to require US occupation or anything else, but it took away the inevitability of the regime. And to see people breaking out and protesting in celebration all across Venezuela is a very, very great sign.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): And also in Chile. So what we’re going to do to walk through this, there’s a huge geopolitical, and is there going to be stability or civil war, we’re going to get to all that. But I want to focus on just the military strike part of it, which is a capability that is extraordinary. This is breathtaking, being a young naval officer and being there for the workup for Desert One. They don’t run things back then, what they run today is a totally different deal. This is absolutely breathtaking.

You combine the end of the 12 day war with that strike, including from the Navy submarines, you add this, the American people have to understand now, the geopolitics of it, strategically, what’s going to happen, what’s going to happen in Venezuela, we’re gonna get to all that. Mike Davis is going to join us about the legality, there already are on Trump about that. We’re gonna cover it all. But just the mechanics of the capability of can you do it? No military in the world. It’s breathtaking what our troops, what our sailors, Marines, special forces have done.
