Reports suggest the Trump administration is considering imminent strikes against military installations in Venezuela, targeting the Cartel de los Soles, allegedly headed by Nicolás Maduro. These attacks, potentially carried out by air, aim to dismantle the cartel’s hierarchy and disrupt drug trafficking routes, with the U.S. having doubled the reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest. A large-scale military deployment, including the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford and other warships, has been assembled in the Caribbean, bolstering the capacity for strikes and intimidation. While officials maintain the primary focus is on disrupting drug trafficking, the scale of the operation suggests a broader objective, possibly the removal of the Maduro regime, despite the President’s preference for targeted operations over prolonged occupation.

In response to the Trump administration’s pressure on Venezuela, the Russian government expressed its support for Venezuelan sovereignty and indicated a willingness to assist. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated they would respond to requests from Venezuela in light of “emerging threats.” Despite this warning, the Trump administration appears to be escalating its military campaign, considering strikes against targets linked to the Maduro regime and drug trafficking. While the administration claims the operation is popular and doesn’t require Congressional approval, some Republican lawmakers are calling for greater oversight.

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.
