Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro was seen training with his armed forces and visiting air force grounds in a string of video posts on his Twitter, appearing defiant as the embattled leader attempted to galvanize his troops in the face of escalating international pressure against his presidency.

In one Feb. 6 video, Maduro is seen training and doing physical exercises with a number of Venezuelan soldiers. The 30-second video starts focused on Maduro who appears to lift one arm up while marching together with the soldiers before the camera pans away to reveal the rest of the troops.
