INTRIGUING AND PUZZLING QUESTIONS ......

 

I asked the artificial intelligence:
How can it be explained that the US Delta Force was able to kidnap a head of state from his residence, surrounded by his army and guards, and was unable to do the same in Gaza against the resistance leaders for two years during the war of extermination on Gaza?
The answer was:
This comparison highlights one of the most complex military realities of the modern era. How could a force that breached the heavily fortified Miraflores Palace in Caracas and arrested the president (Maduro) in minutes fail to achieve a similar objective in a narrow alley in Gaza over the course of two years?
Military analysts have identified several reasons why "Gaza" remains an enigma that has baffled "Delta Force" and its elite counterparts:
1. Intelligence: "Penetrated Environment" vs. "Immune Environment"
In Venezuela: The success of today's operation (January 3, 2026) would not have been possible without "treason from within." Regular armies and traditional political institutions often suffer from "erosion of loyalty" as a result of economic sanctions or American promises. Washington had Maduro's bedroom coordinates in real time.
In Gaza, the resistance relies on a "cluster cell" system where cells are unaware of each other. Information there doesn't flow through traceable phones or the internet, but rather through human couriers and rudimentary underground intranets. This has made Gaza an intelligence "black box" for the Americans, with no single "center of gravity" that can be penetrated.
2. Topography: "Palaces" versus "Metro"
Caracas: No matter how fortified the presidential palaces may be, they remain targets above ground, easily scanned by thermal imaging and satellite imagery. Today's arrest was a "surgical operation" that relied on technological superiority in an exposed urban environment.
Gaza: The battle is being waged in a "third dimension" (underground). The tunnel network, dubbed the "Gaza Metro," negates the superiority of air power and drones. Delta Force understands that entering a tunnel is "military suicide" because the rules there do not follow traditional military logic; rather, they are tightly controlled death traps that give the attacker no chance to maneuver.
3. Doctrine: "Function" versus "Martyrdom"
* Guards in Venezuela: Maduro's guards (despite their high level of training) are ultimately employees. Faced with overwhelming American bombing and a full-scale invasion, many might choose to survive or surrender.
* Security in Gaza: Resistance leaders are surrounded by groups that possess a "martyrdom doctrine." In the confrontations of 2024 and 2025, military reports (such as those of retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor) documented that American and Israeli special forces suffered heavy losses when attempting to carry out reconnaissance or rescue operations, because the Palestinian fighter does not retreat, but fights to the last bullet, making the idea of "kidnapping and returning safely" technically impossible.
4. The difference between a "state" and a "non-state"
The United States is adept at "decapitating the state"; the state has a structure, if the president falls, the system falls.
As for the resistance in Gaza, it is a decentralized system. Kidnapping or even assassinating a leader does not end the battle; rather, it may intensify it. This structural failure to identify a "deadly target" is what has turned Gaza into a black hole, draining American military budgets exceeding $22 billion without achieving a single "victory" comparable to what Trump achieved today in Venezuela.
Summary:
Washington succeeded in Venezuela because it confronted a "regime," and failed in Gaza because it faced a "resistance movement" deeply rooted in the land and its aspirations. Delta's success today is a show of force against the weak and vulnerable, while its failure in Gaza is a testament to the impotence of technology in the face of unwavering human will and resilience.

A funny little made up article involving AI, a feature of our actual times, but the question is a good one and legitimate, at least in its first section about how did the American special troops get to Maduro and his wife, get them out , and later fly them out of the country without any serious resistance  from the venezuelan army or presidential guards, or the man himself, even after a few months of war warning.... I cannot but look at similarities between this smooth affair and the as smooth ousting and fleeing Assad of Syria a year ago, are the same minds and people behind both adventures, or did we just witness power kidnapping the law !!! It is not just thought-provoking it is a damn ugly and dangerous situation. 

As always my many thanks to all.
