President Donald Trump is considering plans to target cocaine facilities and drug trafficking routes inside Venezuela, though he has not yet made a decision on whether to move forward with them, three US officials told CNN.

Outward signs on Friday pointed toward a major potential military escalation, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier strike group currently stationed in Europe to the Caribbean region amid a massive buildup of US forces there. Trump has also authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela.

    JFC. I don’t know anyone that supports this nonsense. Seems to be pure Trump idiocy and vendetta. Any of you in MAGA country hearing otherwise?

      They support whatever FOX news tells them to support. They don’t do critical thinking of their own. For them…

      R next to their name, good, infallible.

      D, evil, unhinged, powerful, weak.
