Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez on August 30 warned the United States to stay away from Venezuelan coasts.
Tensions between the two countries have been mounting since the administration of U.S. President Trump ordered the deployment of a large naval force made up of seven warships, a nuclear attack submarine and some 4,500 service members, including 2,200 Marines, to Latin America and the Caribbean on a counter-cartel mission earlier this month.
The administration also doubled the reward for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to $50 million on drug trafficking charges.
Speaking in Carabobo state, Rodriguez accused the U.S. of hostile actions for deploying a naval force close to the coast of Venezuela.
She directed sharp words at the Trump administration, telling them to solve their own problems and keep away from Venezuelan shores and territory.
Rodriguez then warned that if the U.S. attempts to attack Venezuela, the country would become their “greatest nightmare.”
She also denied the Venezuelan government had transformed into a “narco-terrorist state,” calling such accusations against the “noble people” of Simon Bolivar and Hugo Chavez a “great fraud and immorality.” Rodriguez went on to describe these allegations as among “history’s biggest lies and slanders.”
A recent Axios report revealed that even Trump advisors were not entirely sure whether the naval deployment near Venezuela is a drug trafficking operation with undertones of regime change, or a Caracas coup operation masquerading as drug enforcement.
The country has been taking the escalation very seriously, The Venezuelan military, which is heavily-armed, has already announced a “significant” drone deployment as well as naval patrols along the country’s Caribbean coast. The Bolivarian Militia of Venezuela has been also mobilizing thousands.
The U.S. stands to gain a lot from a coup in Venezuela, which has the world’s largest oil reserve. However, a direct military intervention could lead to a prolonged war as many in the country of 28 million appear to be willing to fight.

mexican here! as much as i don´t want an american intervention, the affirmation that the venezuelan people is ready to fight for its comunist leader is a misguided one. everyone in latin america hates maduro, even venezuelans, it´s sad to be in their position with the american war hawks on one side and their communist dictator in the other…
stop talking stupidty. if maduro was actually hated by his own people and wider latin america peoples, he would have been removed a long time ago.
you are one sad idiot with weak propaganda talking points.
he made sure of taking away the guns of his people long ago, then he took care of those loyal to the regime and armed them to the teeth, he took a prosperous country and made it a starving shithole. and… where you from again?

vicious genocidal jewsa sanctions against venezuela were designed to strangle the economy and starve its people. just like cuba. just like iraq. just like syria. just like iran. just like libya. just like russia. just like half the countries on the planet. for the past 80 years the scumbag rulers of the jewsa have rampaged around the world like nazi germany on steroids, slaughtering, starving and immiserating hundreds of millions
of people. but the times they are a changing. soon the jewsa will be on the receiving end. and the rest of the world will be hysterical with laughter.

this coming from a russian parrot like you is understandable, the scum tries to stay together and miserable, the butcher maduro will have the same destiny as assad, he will go like a rat to the russian cage that does not protect any of its allies
strange how any leader of a country with oil, saddam hussein, gaddafi, assad, maduro, iran, putin, is magically transformed into the new hitler. the real fuhrer must be turning in his grave – how dare they compare me with those lily livered nonentities? most of them allow elections! they don’t even persecute jews! how pathetic is that? it was never like that in my day! i cornered the market in the dictatorship business!
those clowns just aren’t in my league! how dare they sully my reputation by comparing me with people who allow elections and don’t persecute jews!
it can be because adolf trump genocide the jews. i think adolf hitler rothschild spin like a dynamo in his grave, but from pure joy. you dont understand this, do you ? they lie ! their whole world view is a lie ! as more voters for any adolf, as more evil.
maduro is the elected president of venezuela. he is no communist. most of the venezuelan economy is in private hands, a greater proportion than in most western countries.
“he is no communist” bro he literally claims he is a communist himself, he even has direct ties with the cuban communist party.
he is a butcher dictator of the most miserable country in america, the russian allies
tu no eres mexicano cabron eres perro de gringo.
strange how people are in the streets supporting him. i guess they’re all paid stooges. he must be doing something right if the u.s. has a problem with venezuela. how well was colombia doing for the last how many decades that the u.s. and israel were there ? wonder why they’re backing him? why does mexico back him? yeah, he’s hated everywhere. everywhere the u.s. is, that is.
did you see the last elections there? everyone went out to the streets against him, but he cancelled them and proclaimed himself the winner… no one wants him, not even venezuelans. and… where you from again?
two things can be true at the same time: 1.- us are warmongers. 2.- maduro is a tyrannical communist dictator.
no, they cant. if he is a tyrannical dictator, he is not communist. you speak about four things. by definition, a thing can not be equal to another, different thing.
venezuelan elections are the cleanest and most credible in the world. there are extensive regulations and procedures to prevent any irregularities. they are monitored by an army of foreign observers. compare that with the jewsa’s “hanging chads” and the blatantly rigged 2020 election.
the problem the usa with venezela is the same they had with iraq and have with iran. countries who have oil and gas and dont hand it over to them.
maduro has all the right enemies. that’s why the jewsa has been trying to wreck the venezuelan economy for years and why their uk lap dogs stole 31 tons of venezuelan gold. it’s the old story – wreck a country’s economy and then shed crocodile tears when people there suffer poverty. we’ve seen the same playbook all over the world. cuba, where sanctions have cost the cuban people $1 trillion, $100,000 per head, syria, libya, sudan, ad infinitum.
people in syria hated assad now they have an al quaida leader in charge who bends the knee to ankara and tel aviv and kills minority. be carefull what you wish for.
mexicans wear sombreros, not little black hats. there’s a little black hat under your sombrero.
🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
they will invade somehow. name any time in the last 70 years when did america cared if it lost a war ? engaging any forever war is its only intention until the earth stops spinning. any opportunity for war bankers and military corporations to plunder the american people and steal their wealth is absolutely irresistible. and must be completed at every opportunity. israel is also nations religion by law !
looking foward to all the “we have to sanction russia cause we cant allow a illegal war of agression unpunished” and “we have the obligation to send weapons to the attacked country” faction say something totally different when the usa attacks venezuela.
“us” uber alles ?
time again to listen to bruce cockburn singing ‘if i had a rocket launcher’……
… some son of a bitch would die
this is coup. target venezuella government.
viva maduró gringo perro.
but how much time and money can gringo keep spending while it’s treasury and re$erve purchase all of it'”$” debt at the same time?… the tariffs are only sinking the ship faster…
south front fix your damn board or get another. even discus, the israel crap is better than this.
