President Donald Trump on October 31 denied that the United States was considering strikes against targets linked to drug cartels inside Venezuela.
When asked by reporters if recent media reports that he was considering strikes within Venezuela were true, Trump said, “No.”
Last August, the Trump administration doubled the reward for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to $50 million on drug trafficking charges then deployed an amphibious ready group with thousands of marines close to the country’s shores on a so-called “counter narco-terror operation”.
Tensions mounted in recent days with the U.S. sending its bombers near the country’s coast three times and ordering the deployment of an entire carrier strike group to the Caribbean Sea.
Since the start of the escalation, the U.S. military has carried out 14 strikes against boats allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 61 people.
A report published by The Wall Street Journal earlier on October 31 revealed that the U.S. was considering launching strikes against Venezuelan military targets allegedly used for drug-trafficking. The report noted that the discussions are preliminary and no final decision has been made.
Later, however, a report published by the Miami Herald said that the Trump Administration had made the decision to attack military targets in Venezuela, and that the strikes could begin “in a matter of days or even hours.”
In recent weeks, Trump has publicly said his administration will carry out strikes against drug-related targets inside Venezuela.
“The land is going to be next,” Trump told reporters just last week.
Trump practiced deception in the past, most notably when he gave Iran an ultimatum during its war with Israel last June, then proceeded to order strikes on three of the Islamic Republic’s most important nuclear sites. He later boasted about the operation.
When it comes to Venezuela, there are some strong indications that the U.S. is in fact about to launch strikes against the country.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), acting under the direction of the Department of Defense, issued on October 31 a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) establishing temporary flight restrictions over an area off the southeast coast of Puerto Rico. According to the FAA, the restrictions are for “Special Security Reasons.”
While the agency did not specify the nature of the “special security reasons,” the timing of the NOTAM suggests that it could be related to an attack on Venezuela.
Additionally, Carlos A. Gimenez, a member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, on October 31 wrote on X Venezuela “will be free,” implying that something could indeed happen.

Venezuela has been preparing for a confrontation with the U.S. since August. All of the country’s air defenses have been already deployed, especially around Caracas. The country will not likely respond to any attack, but could attempt to repel strikes. The U.S. could use this as an excuse to escalate even more.
Trump previously refused to deny that the U.S. is pursuing the removal of Maduro. It is very clear that a regime change is on Washington’s agenda. The reason is also very straightforward. Venezuela has one of the world’s largest oil and gas reserves.

whatever trump says- wait one week and it will be the opposite.
just was about to say same thing.
he plays strategically he’s not in primary school playing marbles. eg just this week he said unfortunately we can’t meet xi due to scheduling problems. very sad next day xis there.
leaders aren’t transparent about war. maduro asking russia and china for help. maybe south america can be a battlefield that will make a change for the holy war sites won’t it something relatively new for the last 150 years of islamic jewish or protestant buddhist nations being the stage.
and orthodox.
donald trump is an epstein asset, full stop!!!!
to bé clear : an epstein, mossad, jews asset as every potus since the establishment of the fed in 1913.
since 1492, when the cannibalistic christians attacked north america. they are a judaism, baal asset since 1000 year back. news have ceased to exist on internet, but if russia had stop lie about the root cause to some hundreds year of cannibalism, it had probably be noticeable.
no every president since washington has always been the candidate with the strongest ties to the british royal family everyone according to burkes peerage as reported by multiple investigators including but not limited to professor walter veith.
all but one us president, since time began has been related to the british aka german royal family. frankfurt was made a free city of the roman empire, back in 1372. the roman empire (british isles to egypt) fell in 1806. 1714 george louis pf hanover was declared king of great britain, in absentia. meyer amschel rothschild, born in frankfurt, 1744-1812. just keeps going round in circles, same crowd, different faces.
maduro stated in a 2013 interview that “my grandparents were jewish, from a sephardic moorish background, and converted to catholicism in venezuela”.
that sounds like a load of crap, maduro is native south american, that is his voter base, he is not descendant of european invaders!!! besides, if he had even slightest jewish blood, epstein america wouldn’t dare touch him, it would be too anti semetic, dont you know, they are untouchable, just ask jarred kushners, ex con, presidentially pardoned, father!!!
no they aren’t are you asleep epstein dead maxwells in jail, her dad was thrown over board naked with the bones in his hand all broken and crushed. figure it out n
have you noticed that whenever they take out one of their elite, they always make sure the get ‘celebrated headlines’ that go on for months, years, decades. easiest way to sniff out either a ‘false flag’ of ‘planned hit’.
most likely they were catholics who became conversios to judaism for financial benefits previously and have reverted after relocating. sephardics are often blonde haired blue eyed like the haosburgs dynasty. he doesn’t look at all jewish. he looks sicilian or something like that to me
“acft” can be a mask for exercises, this one it looks like an amphibious exercise related to the “roosvelt roads naval station” that is believed to be closed, the area marked used to be assigned to frequent exercises related to the base
trust americans at his word, as one would employing a pedophile for baby sitting your children. they speak with forked tongue!
the circle over the island (isla de vieques) also refers to a common training ground around camp garcia base, which was also believed out of commission for quite a long time, however the zone is under us federal control, this is related to amphibious operations by the marines, closer to the east side of the island were facilities assigned to the atlantic fleet weapons training facility, they used to do ground attack exercises there
americans swallowed taliban jizz for 20 years and $3 trillion, so now americans will have to swollow maduro jizz for 50 years and $20 trillion…hehehehe

trump wants the oil now. he will need it for the western economy when iran shuts hormuz. the us had issues with venezuela over cuba, but still did business. then chavez said israel was an apartheid state and all of a sudden, maximum sanctions. trump comes along and starts stealing assets, like with russia. now the orange babboon wants the rest, he wants it all. he will leave venezuelans with nothing. look at syria.
us has $37 trillion, worth of national debt. with brics moving away from the $us petro-currency reserve, they are desperate for the natural resources of other nations. weird how so few americans, including those in the media, have no idea of the mess that they are in.
