Summary:
On January 3, U.S. forces conducted a rapid operation in Caracas, Venezuela, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, before Venezuelan air defenses could respond effectively. This operation, named Operation Absolute Resolve, tested U.S. military capabilities against Venezuelan defenses equipped with Chinese- and Russian-made air-defense systems. The raid exposed potential limitations of the Chinese-supplied “anti-stealth” radar systems that were promoted as capable of detecting U.S. stealth aircraft. Analysts noted that the success of the mission raised questions regarding the effectiveness of these Chinese military technologies.

Scripture: Psalm 33:10-11
"The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation."
Commentary:
Military technology and planning can look formidable, yet sudden developments can expose profound weaknesses no one predicted. People observing these events see just how quickly power can change hands. The Scripture points out that no matter how advanced humanity’s strategies or alliances become, God’s sovereignty is not overturned by the designs of nations.

The U.S. mission—code-named Operation Absolute Resolve—has quickly become more than a political shockwave. Analysts have said it was also a real-world test of U.S. military power against a country that has spent years buying Chinese- and Russian-made air-defense systems and showcasing them as proof that it could deter Washington. The raid raised uncomfortable questions for Beijing about the limits of the Chinese-supplied systems that Venezuela has leaned on—especially “anti-stealth” radar that China advertised as capable of spotting and stopping U.S. stealth aircraft, a military analyst said.......
