WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States carried out a lightning military strike on Venezuela early Saturday, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and spiriting them out of the country. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is “going to run” Venezuela until a transition of power can occur and the U.S. will tap the country’s vast oil reserves as part of a rebuilding effort.

“Lightning military strike”, what an interesting turn of phrase.

How would one say that in German? Just wondering.

Blitzkrieg, if my ~~history~~ German serves me

Technically no, the Blitzkrieg would apply in a full blown war. Krasnov ordered a commando mission.

So a blitz special operation?

He doesn't even know how to run one country, let alone two.
