Trump says he is not considering strikes within Venezuela, which, if we’re being honest, probably means the exact opposite is true. The general consensus here, and it’s hard to disagree, is that when he declares he *isn’t* doing something, the likelihood of that thing happening increases exponentially. It’s like a reverse psychology power play. He’s said it before, right? Remember Iran? He was all about waiting and negotiating, and then… well, the bombs started falling practically overnight. So, based on past performance, “not considering” usually translates to “already decided” and “in the process of execution.”
When Trump says he is not considering strikes within Venezuela, it feels less like a statement of fact and more like a carefully crafted smokescreen.… Continue reading
Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader, stated that military escalation is the only way to remove President Nicolas Maduro from power and facilitate a peaceful transition. Machado is actively organizing her movement, even with members imprisoned or in exile, and has a plan for the first 100 hours following a regime change. The Trump administration has reportedly considered military strikes inside Venezuela targeting military facilities linked to the Maduro regime and drug-trafficking organizations, including the Cartel de los Soles. These potential strikes aim to disrupt the Cartel de los Soles, and sources suggest that Maduro’s time in power is limited, with some generals reportedly willing to apprehend him.

Sources have confirmed the U.S. is poised to launch military strikes within Venezuela, targeting military installations believed to be utilized by the Cartel de los Soles, headed by Nicolás Maduro. These attacks, potentially imminent, are part of an escalating campaign against drug trafficking operations linked to the Maduro regime. The U.S. has significantly increased its military presence in the Caribbean, including deploying a carrier strike group and fighter jets, which will be used for targeted strikes. While officials have not confirmed Maduro’s direct targeting, they have doubled the reward for his capture and suggested that his time is running out.

Democrats excluded from briefing on US military strikes off South America, senator says, and the implications of this action raise serious concerns about transparency and the erosion of democratic principles. The revelation, attributed to Senator Warner (D) of VA, who is, notably, a member of the Gang of 8, a group privy to highly sensitive intelligence matters, is particularly alarming. The fact that even those senators with access to classified information are being shut out suggests a deliberate effort to conceal activities from a significant portion of the legislative branch, potentially indicating a disregard for established norms and oversight. This exclusion isn’t just a procedural matter; it raises questions about the legitimacy of these military actions and the motives behind them.… Continue reading
Venezuela’s government announced the capture of a group of alleged mercenaries with ties to the CIA, accusing the U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago of coordinating military exercises designed to provoke armed conflict. The Maduro regime claims the arrests revealed a “false-flag operation” planned to initiate a military confrontation. These accusations coincide with the buildup of U.S. forces in the Caribbean, where the U.S. is attempting to combat drug cartels. The Venezuelan government alleges that Trinidad and Tobago is acting as a “military colony” for the U.S. and is contributing to U.S. militaristic efforts in the area.

Venezuela has reported the capture of mercenaries allegedly linked to the CIA, claiming they were planning a “false flag” operation intended to instigate a military conflict. This accusation comes amid heightened tensions, as the U.S. has increased military presence in the Caribbean and conducted strikes on alleged drug vessels, drawing criticism and concerns about international law violations. U.S. officials, however, maintain the operations are aimed at combating drug trafficking. The U.S. military is also conducting joint exercises with Trinidad and Tobago, further escalating the situation, with many suggesting the exercises are aimed at removing Maduro from power.

The elite helicopter unit, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), known as the Night Stalkers, has a long history of carrying out dangerous missions, most of which take place under the cover of darkness. Recently, the Night Stalkers have been spotted off the coast of Venezuela, coinciding with increased pressure from the US on President Nicolás Maduro’s government. This military presence, along with other deployments and covert actions, has raised concerns about a potential US intervention in Venezuela, with several possible outcomes being considered. Some believe that the situation could lead to the removal of Maduro, or a deal that would grant the US access to Venezuela’s resources. However, such an operation would not be without risk, as the Venezuelan military and militia fighters could potentially pose a serious threat to the Night Stalkers.

The United States has amassed a significant military presence in the Caribbean, including warships and a nuclear submarine, while also threatening direct military action against Venezuela. This build-up is ostensibly to combat drug trafficking, but evidence suggests the claims against the Venezuelan government are fabricated. Experts assert Venezuela is not a significant player in the drug trade. The primary motivation appears to be regime change, with potential scenarios ranging from continued extrajudicial killings to air strikes or a full-scale military invasion. Such intervention could destabilize the region, worsen the ongoing humanitarian crisis, and ironically, empower drug cartels.

President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela has accused the United States of fabricating a new war, following the deployment of the USS Gerald R Ford, the world’s largest warship, to the Caribbean. The US claims the deployment is part of its efforts to disrupt drug trafficking in the region and has conducted multiple air strikes targeting vessels. Maduro views the military buildup as a threat, with concerns that the US aims to remove him from power. Military analysts suggest the US presence is more than needed for intercepting drugs at sea, and experts believe the build-up is intended to signal a regime change.

President Trump is considering targeting cocaine facilities and trafficking routes inside Venezuela, though he has not yet made a decision. In anticipation of a potential military escalation, the Defense Secretary ordered a carrier strike group to the Caribbean, and the CIA has been authorized to conduct covert operations. While diplomatic options remain on the table, the administration has also been aggressively trying to link Venezuelan President Maduro to the drug trade, even though Venezuela is not a major cocaine producer, according to the UNODC and the DEA. The President has stated that he plans to eliminate those who bring drugs into the country. The US military has significantly increased its presence in the Caribbean, including the deployment of numerous naval assets, fighter jets, and drones.
