BREAKING: USA just closed off the airspace near Puerto Rico with a NOTAM announcing hot pit refueling at the local airport. Hot pit refuelling means aircraft are refuelled with their engines still running so they can take off quickly again. Long night ahead for Maduro…

🚀 PRECIPICE 🚀
Yup. And that's not America's responsibility. If Venezuelans want a regime change, let them. We could even help them. But fighting and dying for their cause when we've got so many domestic problems yet unresolved? No way.
Except they invaded us with illegals and Tren de Aragua.
We already have CIA in Venezuela now. The last time we did created Tren de Aragua.
Define invasion. If you Government paid people, flew them in, and put them up in hotels and gave them money to be here... then is it their government that is the one invading?
72-hour rule. It's best to hold your thoughts for that long as the situation tends to change after that time. No sense in getting all upset when we don't have specifics. We're not sending anyone in to die either.
Moves and countermoves. Especially with Trump. Nothing is at it appears to be on the surface.
Thanks for that. I love the 72-hour-rule, but I don't always remember to apply it.
Not upset, so much as I'm just asking the question. What's really going on.
Maybe I need to replace Hunter Biden on my Bingo card w/ Maduro.,,
Didn’t America train and fund these cartels during the Ollie North drug war operations? This is why they are so militarized ? Asking seriously. I could be wrong. The cia is heavily involved.
You are right. Those were all DS black operations - mostly by the C_A. So who exactly is Trump taking on here?
I still can't understand why Trump doesn't dismantle the CIA.
It’s happening right in front of us. The media.
Trump is up against something much larger than just Venezuela and Maduro. They are a base of operations for extensive transnational criminal networks and they have been targeting the US. He is sending a huge message to the DS that there is a new sheriff in town and he has their number. FAFO.
Hope you're right, Mac. I'm willing to wait it out w/ you all and see.
Yes. This drama is far bigger than what it appears to be on the surface. It is a huge global chessboard with many players all jockeying for control of the board. Moves and countermoves. Besides the cartels, Iran and the CCP are heavily imbedded in Venezuela. Russia also has presence there. Way too damn close to continue allowing the systematic takeover of Latin America. Trump is pushing back saying ENOUGH and Trump has chosen Venezuela to make that stand with a huge show of force.
We can probably get an indication of which way the wind is blowing by watching what these other actors do. They just may end up abandoning Maduro and shift their resources and attention somewhere else. It's not like they don't have other places in Latin America where they can establish a beachhead.
The US for years has buried its head in the sand and ignored what has been taking place throughout the area. Think Panama. The US sat back while the CCP basically took control of the Canal along with other strategic choke points. It's not like China doesn't have a history of using these points as a weapon in order to get the US or other countries to knuckle under and capitulate. That has been part of their soft power strategy of global domination for years. Trump is trying to correct that. The CCP interfered with the deal that would have handed control of several ports, not just the Canal. I am not sure where the deal being made with CK Hutchison Holdings Limited stands for the moment. But from what I can see, at least where the Panama Canal is concerned, we will have to focus on pressuring the Panamanian government to use other legal means to get control back, which was a card on the table but in reserve if plan A didn't work. It will force Panama to get off the fence and choose a side - something we have been reluctant to do. China is heavily invested in Panama through BRI so there are huge financial and infrastructure considerations that the US has to be ready to step up and fill the gap if China is pushed out - something the US did not want to do.
So we will wait and see what happens in the future. Sadly we live in a globally connected world. The days of being able to exist isolated from things taking place around us are long gone. Nothing exists in a vacuum. If the US does not get involved, someone else will and they are.

The Deep State is getting their money from somewhere . . .
Exactly.
