A grand military parade marked 208 years since Venezuela became independent from Spain yesterday ⁠— as the country's president Nicolas Maduro revelled in his might despite coming under mounting criticism for brutality. Maduro applauded and pumped his fist as soldiers marked past, tanks rolled by and fighter jets roared overhead at a Caracus military base. A unit of camouflaged special forces, guns drawn, shouted their loyalty as they paraded by the president's viewing stand. 'We look to the heavens, asking for peace,' Maduro said during a short speech. 'All the while our military exercises play out. We plead to God with our missiles pointed.' 🚀
