Honestly, we expected Nicolás Maduro to put up a little bit more of a fight. I mean, if you’re going to be an autocratic leader directly targeted by the United States, you should be building bunkers, hiring body doubles, and generally being extremely hard to find.
But Maduro wasn’t. When Delta Force arrived to black bag him, he was in his residence at the Fuerte Tiuna military complex in Caracas. Apparently, he was still in bed when the Americans arrived and couldn’t escape into a steel-reinforced panic room in time (what his plan was after that who knows? Wait it out?).
