A: Hey, did you hear anything crazy in the news?
B: No! What’s up?
A: Apparently, Trump said the US used a “secret weapon” to try and get Maduro!
B: Seriously? A secret weapon? What was it?
A: He called it “The Discombobulator”! Can you believe that name?
B: Haha! The Discombobulator! Sounds like a cartoon.
A: Right? He wouldn’t say much about it, just that it stopped their equipment.
B: Stopped their equipment? Like rockets?
A: Yeah! He said they had Russian and Chinese rockets, but they didn't even launch one! He said they just pressed buttons, and *nothing* happened.
B: Wow. That’s pretty wild.
A: It gets weirder. One of Maduro’s guards said all their radar just shut off.
B: No way! Did he say why?
A: He said it was without explanation! And apparently, some people were… really sick.
B: Sick? Like, what happened?
A: Bleeding, vomiting, falling over... pretty intense stuff.
B: Okay, that's a bit scary. Do they know if the weapon did that?
A: That’s the thing! They’re not sure if it’s connected. It’s all a bit mysterious, isn't it?
