US President Donald Trump says that the US military used a mysterious new weapons system dubbed the “Discombobulator” during the operation to capture then-Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro in Caracas earlier this month, Trump tells the New York Post.
“The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump says.
According to Trump, the weapon “made [Venezuela’s] equipment not work,” suggesting that the system was used to disrupt the Venezuelan air defense and radar systems, allowing US forces to carry out the raid with near-impunity.
“They never got their rockets off. They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us,” Trump tells the US news outlet.
The US president’s comments came after being asked by the press about recent reports that the Biden administration purchased a pulsed energy weapon that is suspected to have been used in Caracas.
They already ruined ‘doge’, we can’t let them ruin the ‘discombobulate’ meme too
A secret disco-weapon that stops everyone getting their rockets off but me? I wish I had had such a miracle weapon 25 years ago.
Too much coke?
Right. I should have written “getting their rockets up” for clearness.
My bet:
Its the crowd control microwave weapon they were developing under Dubya and Obama.
Could also be a sonic weapon (LRAD). Effects of messing up equilibrium last longer than the (usual) microwave weapon

They could not reach the buttons.
Ah yes the discombobulator, the government and military version of the turboencabulator.
Discombobulator covfefe! Kirgoodoo bambarbia!
Trump lies about so much why should anyone believe this.
He trafficked and raped kids
Wait
That just sounds like an electronic warfare device
It had effects on the people too.
GAU-8 discombobulates people
Brrrrrrrrrrt
If it had the effects on electronics he claims it did, then yeah, no doubt it did. Probably damaged nerves if I wagered a guess
I heard from another source they used graphite bombs “A graphite bomb, often called a “blackout bomb” or “soft bomb,” is a non-lethal, conventional weapon designed to disable electrical power grids without destroying the infrastructure or causing high casualties. It works by releasing a dense cloud of fine, chemically treated carbon filaments over electrical installations like transformers and power lines.”
Is the discombobulator in the room with us now Donald?
I’m guessing there were two devices. A EW device for the radar system and the thing with the bleeding eyes was something similar to LRAD.
Or the radars were sabotage the good old fashioned way.
What even is real life anymore
It’s a lot worse. Guards fell down bleeding from their eyes and noses following deployment of this very powerful weapon. It took everyone out immediately.
Of course the real key to the operation was a single crafty platypus.
Sound awfully similar to the gonculator from Hogan’s Heroes.
This whole fiasco also sounds awfully similar to the pilot episode of Mission Impossible. Except without the nukes.
