Episode notes
Record Bounty And U.S. Pressure
- The U.S. has offered a record $50 million bounty on Nicolás Maduro, surpassing previous top bounties like Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
- The U.S. also seized about $700 million in assets and deployed destroyers and troops to the Caribbean as pressure on Maduro escalates.
Militia Numbers Likely Inflated
- Maduro called millions to enlist in militias ahead of U.S. warships, claiming 4.5 million members despite outside estimates of 100,000–400,000.
- Observers view those figures as inflated and point to desertions and hollowed ranks amid Venezuela’s collapse.
Numbers Reveal Propaganda Motive
- If Maduro's 4.5 million figure were true, nearly 18% of Venezuela’s population would be militia members, which analysts find unrealistic.
- Military estimates put active forces far lower, implying Maduro exaggerates to project strength.
