That's how operations like this work.

And finally, what happens in Venezuela doesn't typically stay in Venezuela, and particularly in this case.

The ripple effects will be significant, especially for Cuba.

The Cuban regime relies heavily on Venezuelan oil and economic support.

A genuine transition in Caracas, rather than just a reshuffling of some of the key power brokers, would place enormous strain on Havana.

And beyond the region, the message travels even farther.

Tehran will be watching closely.

So will the leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The signals sent by this operation, rightly or wrongly, will be studied in capitals far beyond Latin America.

So, yes, this is a historic moment, but it's also the beginning of a far more complex phase.

The next days and weeks will tell us whether this becomes a managed transition or whether Venezuela enters a period of instability that no one fully controls.

We'll continue to track it closely, of course, separate facts from speculation, and keep you informed as this story develops.

I'm Mike Baker with this special PDB update.

Now, remember to check out also the latest edition of our weekend show, the PDB Situation Report.

That's available on our YouTube channel, at President's Daily Brief, and of course, podcast platforms everywhere.

In the meantime, stay informed, stay safe, stay cool.

Thank you.
