Trump's 'FAFO' Message After Maduro's Arrest - A Challenge and an AC/DC Response

The United States conducted a military intervention in Venezuela, arresting President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The operation, named “Absolute Resolve,” took place in the capital, Caracas. Following the arrest, the White House used the term FAFO (an acronym for "f’d around and found out") in announcements and on social media, implying that Maduro brought the consequences upon himself. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that Maduro was given multiple opportunities to avoid the crisis, drawing parallels to the situation with Iran. He emphasized that Trump seeks to restore American influence in the region and prevent the entry of drugs and criminal organizations into the US. He argued that the administration had made generous offers to Maduro, which he rejected. Trump himself posted a video on Truth Social featuring Maduro calling for the US to arrest him (“Come get me!”), followed by images of American eagles and missiles, set to the AC/DC song “Thunderstruck.” This move is seen as a further display of power and determination by the US government. The use of the term FAFO and the overall communication strategy of the US government have sparked strong reactions, as they are considered aggressive and offensive. However, the Trump administration appears determined to show that it will not tolerate “games” from leaders it deems to threaten American interests.
