The US is deploying the world’s largest warship towards the Caribbean, marking a major escalation in its military build-up in the region.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier, which can carry up to 90 aircraft, to move from the Mediterranean on Friday.
The US has been increasing its military presence in the Caribbean in recent weeks, sending other warships, a nuclear submarine as well as F-35 aircraft in what it says is a campaign to target drug traffickers.
For a man that doesn’t like war, he’s very close to creating a war, hey?
It won’t be a war. They’re baiting out a response and might respond to that with a decapitation strike… There’s no shot this turns into a war, it’s Venezuela
Realistically, they’re just creating instability with this while unleashing the CIA to do their things
Ok, massacre or genocide?
Collateral murder. Not a massacre, not a genocide, just random death from afar
Call it what you like, the point is, he is allegedly against this shit. I suppose whoever is really pulling the strings isn’t against it.
Which then leads to the convenient excuse of suspending the 2026 midterms
Hey, it worked wonders for Netanyahu. I’m sure they’ve discussed it.
This war will probably be more one sided than a war against most other countries. They can probably wipe out most Venezuela’s military equipment fairly quickly, while Maduro is hated enough by various militias that the US might not need to risk too many ground troops. It’s probably the easiest war the US could wage right now. Killing Maduro is the only part that could be difficult, but it could also not be.
Not saying you are wrong but I there is always the trees speak Spanish situation with insurgents.
Not meaning to be awkward, but either way it’s still a war…
Trump wants a war, but he prefers those who can’t well fight back. It being so one sided probably means it’ll cost a ton more Venezuelan lives. It’s not just about Maduro, but terrorizing Latin America by brutalizing countries that don’t let American companies take their oil wealth. Venezuela is the perfect target for Trump in so many ways, and he’ll be sure to make an example of them.
No, no, it’ll be a “special military operation”…
Throw him that peace prize! Ugh
