In Episode 64 of Logic Dictate Hot Topics, host Steve Gibson delivers a no-nonsense breakdown of the stunning arrest of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and explains why the operation was not an act of war—but a brilliant, lawful police action.

Gibson analyzes the strategic, economic, and geopolitical implications of the strike, including its impact on oil prices, inflation, drug trafficking, illegal migration, and U.S. adversaries such as Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba. He also takes on the liberal media’s reaction, exposing what he calls a fundamental misunderstanding of power, leverage, and transactional foreign policy.

From narco-terrorism and stolen oil infrastructure to hemispheric security and global energy markets, this episode argues one clear conclusion: this was a win—and it should be recognized as one.

Welcome back to Logic Dictate Hot Topics, where facts matter, power matters, and narrative spin gets exposed. I’m Steve Gibson.

In this episode, we’re talking about something almost no one saw coming—the arrest of Nicolás Maduro—and why this operation was not only legal, but smart, surgical, and devastatingly effective. The media is whining. The critics are confused. And once again, reality is being distorted.

Today, I’m going to explain why this was a police action, not an act of war… why Venezuela matters far beyond oil… and why this single move reshapes the geopolitical chessboard in ways most commentators either can’t—or won’t—acknowledge.

They didn’t bomb him.
They didn’t invade the country.
They arrested him—alive.

And that changes everything.

What just happened in Venezuela wasn’t reckless. It wasn’t illegal. And it certainly wasn’t a mistake. It was a strategic masterstroke—and by the end of this episode, you’ll understand exactly why this operation was a win for America, a win for Venezuela, and a loss for every global adversary betting against us.
