Inside the World's Most Spectacularly Failed Coup
In May 2020, American mercenaries and armed Venezuelan rebels attempted a shambolic coup d’etat against the Nicolas Maduro regime. Rather than a glorious victory and toppling a socialist dictator, the planned invasion ended in disaster, deaths, and two ex-Green Berets in captivity in one of that year’s spiciest geopolitical quagmires.
“Operation Gideon,” as it was dubbed by its mastermind and former special forces soldier Jordan Goudreau, drew in a bizarre cast of Trumpworld heavy hitters, the CIA, viral tweets, and a Kraft family heir and was supposed to somehow overthrow the Venezuelan government. Instead, it became an internet laughingstock. But new interviews with mercenaries who were there reveal the backstory is even more complicated than previously thought.
