Viral Claim Says Venezuela’s Leader Was Captured by the U.S. — Here’s What’s Actually Going On

What’s Missing Is the Red Flag

Events of this scale leave an unavoidable footprint.

A foreign leader’s capture would trigger:

  • Emergency UN sessions
  • Immediate statements from allied governments
  • Wall-to-wall coverage by international media
  • Market reactions and travel advisories

The story relies heavily on:

  • Attributed quotes without official transcripts
  • A circulating video with unclear origin
  • Social-media screenshots as “evidence”

That combination is classic for viral misinformation.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary verification—and that verification isn’t here.
