Venezuelan and Cuban security personnel stood no chance against US forces who were no more than 20 in number but managed to advance at a great pace, using suspected sonic weapons to take out a numerically superior enemy force, a survivor said in a post shared by Karoline Leavitt on X.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared an X post on Saturday that claimed to be an interview with a Venezuelan security official who survived the US mission to abduct President Nicolás Maduro. "Stop what you are doing and read this," Karoline Leavitt said while sharing the post from Mike Netter, in which the terrified Venezuelan is heard saying he never wants to fight the Americans again and the world doesn't know what they are capable of.
Hundreds of his comrades were killed by the US soldiers, who were sharp and swift in their progress, the unnamed survivor said. Their arms, however, couldn't hurt even a single US soldier among those who were airdropped from helicopters. It felt like they were firing around 300 rounds a minute, he added.
The US soldiers were technically superior to anything they had ever fought and had equipment beyond the imagination of most. There were not more than twenty of them, but they managed to "massacre" their Venezuelan counterparts, which also included Cuban specialists who were in charge of Maduro's security.
The man claimed to be on security duty when the US strike happened out of nowhere. The enemy first blocked all their communication systems and sent swarms of drones to their positions before the personnel arrived and started killing them, he said. "We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react."
"After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before," the post said.

The interviewee further said that the US soldiers used a sonic weapon that made the enemies vomit blood. Many, including himself, were incapacitated by it, and resistance was almost non-existent from that point. "At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move."
The traumatised security guard thus concluded the interaction with Mike Netter: "I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with."
Donald Trump's USA launched strikes on Venezuela on Saturday and captured its president, Maduro, who is now held in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, along with his wife. It is said that the elite Delta Force was deployed by the Pentagon for the operation that shook the world.
