In a stunning validation of geopolitical forecasting, an Indian analyst who predicted the United States would move against Venezuela following the Russia-Ukraine peace deal has seen his prophecy come to pass. The analyst, known as Aravind, detailed a scenario where Washington would target President Nicolás Maduro and seize control of the country's vast oil reserves, a prediction that materialized with a dramatic raid on January 3, 2026.
The Chilling Prediction: From Ukraine Peace to Venezuela Crisis
Back in April 2025, Aravind made a bold declaration linking global events. He stated that once a peace deal was settled in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, former US President Donald Trump would aggressively pursue regime change in Venezuela. "I can predict once the Russia-Ukraine peace deal is done, Trump will go after Venezuela hard with sanctions and try take out Maduro," he said. He further warned that if other methods failed, a "false flag and direct bombing-invasion" would be the final recourse.
By June 2025, his analysis became more precise, centering on the strategic prize of oil. "Uncle Sam is where there's oil," Aravind remarked. He predicted Venezuela would be "couped with or without an assassination/military operation by the US," leading to a hike in oil prices and American control over Venezuelan crude. His forecast extended to a reshaped global order, suggesting the US, by controlling Venezuelan output alongside its own production, would dominate the world's oil supply. This move, he argued, was also designed to offer Russia an "olive branch" to reduce its economic dependence on China.
Prediction Becomes Reality: Maduro Removed, US Controls Oil
Events unfolded exactly as Aravind foresaw. Following the reported peace in Eastern Europe, US forces stormed Venezuela in a dramatic operation on January 3, 2026, abducting President Nicolás Maduro. In the aftermath, Aravind confirmed his prediction had been realized. "Venezuela is now couped. Maduro has been taken out. US now controls VE oil. And most of world's oil as I predicted," he stated.
His reaction underscores a significant shift in global energy geopolitics. The analyst's comments highlight immediate concerns about rising oil prices and the long-term consequences of Washington's firm grip on one of the world's largest petroleum reserves. The action appears to be a key part of a broader strategy to use energy dominance as a tool for influencing international alliances and market dynamics.
Regional Fallout and Escalating Tensions
The US intervention has sent shockwaves through the region, prompting a sharp response from neighboring Colombia. President Gustavo Petro expressed "deep concern" over reports of explosions and unusual aerial activity in Venezuela, condemning the invasion and warning of escalating regional tension.
In a stark escalation, President Donald Trump issued a direct threat to President Petro, telling him to "watch his a-ss or face possible military invasion." This threat, coming mere hours after the Venezuela raid, signals a highly aggressive and volatile foreign policy approach that has analysts and world leaders on high alert. The situation raises critical questions about stability in Latin America and the future of international law.
The accuracy of Aravind's forecast, from the geopolitical trigger to the economic motive, presents a sobering case study in modern power politics. It paints a picture where control of critical resources like oil remains a central driver for intervention, reshaping borders and alliances in real-time.
