The United Nations Security Council will convene an emergency session at Colombia’s request, with backing from Russia and China, after the United States executed a high-risk military operation inside Venezuela that resulted in the capture of longtime narco-state ruler Nicolás Maduro. The meeting underscores the growing global fallout as Washington dismantles one of the Western Hemisphere’s most dangerous criminal regimes.
Background
According to the BBC, Colombia formally requested the emergency meeting, supported by Moscow and Beijing. While the final guest list remains unconfirmed, UN Secretary-General António Guterres may attend.
The request follows Saturday’s U.S. military operation, which involved airstrikes and a ground assault beginning around 2 a.m. local time. U.S. forces captured Maduro and his wife and transferred them to the USS Iwo Jima, marking the dramatic collapse of Venezuela’s cartel-backed dictatorship.
Maduro is scheduled to appear Monday in a New York federal court.
The Evidence
Maduro has been indicted in the Southern District of New York on sweeping charges including:
- Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy
- Cocaine Importation Conspiracy
- Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices
- Conspiracy to Use Destructive Devices Against the United States
Federal prosecutors allege Maduro transformed Venezuela into a global cocaine trafficking hub while partnering with terrorist organizations and violent cartels.
President Trump, who authorized the operation, earlier warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro to “watch his ass” over cocaine manufacturing operations in Colombia and openly floated military action against cartel infrastructure in Colombia and Mexico.
“I would be proud to do it, personally,” Trump said.

Expert Analysis
Russia and Iran swiftly condemned the U.S. action. Russia’s Foreign Ministry labeled the operation “armed aggression,” while Iran claimed the strikes violated international peace.
Yet across the Western Hemisphere and among major Western powers, the prevailing sentiment has been one of support for dismantling what had become a fully weaponized narco-state exporting drugs, terrorism, and regional instability.
Trump has framed the intervention as part of a larger strategy to restore order, security, and sovereignty across the Americas.

Prophetic Context
The collapse of Venezuela’s regime and the sudden exposure of its criminal networks reflect a recurring biblical pattern:
Empires rooted in deception, violence, and corruption eventually fall — often suddenly, publicly, and decisively.
Strategic Implications / Consequences
The emergency UN meeting highlights the widening divide between the free world and authoritarian powers that depend on chaos, cartels, and black-market economies.
Key consequences now unfolding:
- The first full-scale military dismantling of a modern narco-state
- Severe contraction of cartel operations throughout the Caribbean basin
- Direct challenge to Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence in Latin America
- Precedent for aggressive counter-narcotics enforcement beyond borders
- A new era of hemispheric security under revived U.S. leadership
Maduro’s appearance in federal court Monday will place the former dictator under the full weight of U.S. law, closing a dark chapter in Venezuela’s history.

Conclusion
While Russia, China, and Iran protest from afar, the reality is unavoidable: Nicolás Maduro’s regime collapsed because it was built on drugs, terror, and tyranny. The UN’s emergency meeting will not change that fact.
History will record that the Western Hemisphere crossed a threshold this weekend — from tolerating narco-states to dismantling them.
