1 week ago Months in planning, over in two and a half hours: how the US snatched Maduro

The operation to capture the Venezuelan president and his wife involved at least 150 aircraft, months of surveillance – and reportedly a spy in the governmentIt took the US two hours and 28 minutes to snatch President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in the small hours of Saturday morning, an extraordinary display of imperial power that plunges 30 million Venezuelans into a profound uncertainty.

Whenever this ends – with the answer surely “imminently” – Celtic’s supporters will not be the only ones to look back with outright bemusement. Wilfried Nancy’s appointment as the manager of a team who were serious operators in the Champions League a matter of months earlier will go down as one of the most bamboozling episodes in the history of Scottish football.Nancy used his Friday press conference to plead for time and context. He railed against the media, who presumably continue to err by highlighting his woeful record. By Saturday afternoon, he was wandering down the tunnel as a beaten man. Nancy’s position is untenable. He cannot be the only Celtic employee who exits, such is the scale of calamity. The simple solution for Celtic would be to call Martin O’Neill, who presided over seven victories out of eight while in pre-Nancy caretaker charge. The 73-year-old retains capacity to revive Celtic’s fortunes. Crucially, unlike Nancy, O’Neill has the experience and wherewithal to co...
