Deadly airstrikes and a military buildup: how the US pressure campaign against Venezuela has unfolded in the Caribbean
NegativeU.S News
- The United States has intensified its military presence in the Caribbean, marking the largest buildup since the 1989 invasion of Panama, amid accusations against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of drug trafficking. This escalation has resulted in 83 deaths, which the UN has classified as extrajudicial executions, as the U.S. employs a 'war on drugs' narrative to justify its actions.
- This military strategy is significant as it reflects the U.S. government's ongoing campaign to pressure Maduro's regime, including a $50 million bounty on his head and the designation of the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, which could lead to further military actions.
- The situation highlights a broader trend of increasing tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, with warnings issued to airlines about flying over the region due to heightened military activity. The implications of these developments raise concerns about regional stability and the potential for escalating conflict, as international airlines cancel flights and legal challenges arise regarding the U.S. military's operations.
