The U.S. military has released photos showing strategic bombers and fighter jets flying over the Caribbean Sea, in a new sign of escalation against Venezuela.
Photos showing a pair of B-52 Stratofortress the Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of responsibility and conducting aerial refueling with a KC-135 Stratotanker were shared by the Air Force Global Strike Command to X on November 7. In the post, the command said that its aircraft “routinely conduct global operations in coordination with other combatant commands, services & participating US govt agencies to defend the US & its Allies”
The flight took place a day earlier. Data from aviation tracking websites, including Flightradar24, indicate that the B-52 flew along the coast of Venezuela, of course without violating the country’s airspace. This was the fourth instance of U.S. bombers approaching the country in recent weeks.
Notably, at least one of the bombers was equipped with its underwing weapons pylons, in addition to an electro-optical Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod.

The very next day, SOUTHCOM shared a photo on showing two F-35B Lightning II fighter jets “conducting routine flying operations” in its area of responsibility.
The command said in the post that U.S. military forces were deployed to its area of responsibility “to disrupt illicit drug trafficking and protect the homeland.”
The fighter jets were both armed with AIM-9-series heat-seeking, short-range air-to-air missiles on their external weapon hardpoints, which is unusual.

Tensions have been mounting between the U.S. and Venezuela since August, when the Trump administration doubled the reward for the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro Maduro to $50 million on drug trafficking charges then deployed an amphibious ready group with thousands of marines to the Caribbean on a so-called “counter narco-terror operation”.
In October, the administration escalated further by ordering the deployment of an entire carrier strike group close to the coast of Venezuela.
The U.S. military has already carried out 17 strikes against boats allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 69 people. Three were killed in the latest strike, which was announced by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on November 7.
In a post to X, Hegseth said that the strike targeted a boat that was “trafficking narcotics” in the international waters of the Caribbean.
Recent reports by U.S. media suggest that the administration of President Donald Trump is nearing a decision on an attack against Venezuela.
The War Zone revealed in a report published on November 7 that the U.S. military was preparing to further expand its deployment in the Caribbean.
“There are site surveys ongoing to see if more military assets should be sent to the region,” a U.S. official told the news website.
Three U.S. military aircraft, a P-8A reconnaissance plane, a C-40 Clipper used for transport, and a AC-130 Ghostrider gunship, were recently spotted in El Salvador,, according to The New York Times and photos by The Latin American Aviation Historical Society.
Fantastic shots from @The_LAAHS showing AC-130J 15-5825, C-40 N235JF, and P-8A 168999/169012 on the ramp at CSL Comalapa in El Salvador. https://t.co/xTMGgxFZEU pic.twitter.com/G0XfzNypgi

Venezuela has bracing for an attack by the U.S., with Maduro even approving plans for “armed resistance” and asking for weapons from Russia, China and Iran.
While the U.S. maintains that operations in the Caribbean are meant to crack down on drug trafficking, reports coming out from Washington suggest that a regime change in Caracas is the ultimate goal. Trump himself refused to rule out such a possibility in the past. The country has the largest oil reserves in the world, which explains why the U.S. is willing to risk another never-ending war.

russia doesn´t have good weapons to help venezuella, all those russian sams are utterly useless against american stealth jets and cruise missiles
we all know trump hidden agenda we are not in seventies,eighties where we were lie to with russia threat lies. assad and qaddafi were the only one who were protecting christian,corpus christi and yashidies
sataniahu ruined the oldest christian church in western asia, which stood there from 5th century since romans built it. the arabian caliphate, ancient iran, the osmanian empire, wars of crusaders with mamluks, colonial wars of england and france did not so much damage as sataniahu with the us made bombs. and jewlani is acceptable for zionists. they healed daesh terrorists in own hospitals, jewlani is another one.
how can usa/nato who created boko haram and isis all of sudden u turn to protect christians in nigeria.purpose of unseating maduro and african leaders have failed.now trump wants to use christian scape goat protection lies to steal nigerian oil.just like in libya,iraq,syria,kuwait and yemen
satan can maybe blow up some churches, and blame it on africa ? well, russia is as bad with its “root causes”. the root cause are the – existence – of the source to nazi germany, which have existed for hundreds of years, and from day one started to boil the frogs, with the “discovery” of america. then, it committed genocide on 200 peoples, and overheated the boiler to “democracy”.
any scape goat will do for media purpose. dick cheney still has some wmds to sell you in iraq
uncle sams intimidation tactic is getting real old, those pilots, all personal involved in these photo ops must be real tough 😂
if a man seeked to rule the world by any means in defiance of heaven what would be his name in many religions ?
president duterte of the philippines is currently facing trial in the hague, supposedly for extra judicial killings of suspected drug dealers.
when will netanyahu smotrich and ben gvir face trial for their extra judicial killing of virginia roberts charlie kirk, mr fafo, hunderds of journalists and aidworkers and the 680.000 or so gazan palestinians
the people of venezuela should look at syria and realise the west will not give up until they get what they want even if it takes 12 years and kills a million people while the east will help in a limited way and then cooperate with whoever wins in the end. if they dont want to end up like syria they should consider capturing maduro and handing him over to the usa together with a deal to invest into the oil industry.
replace the west for jews and your spot on. we in the west have zero control over our governments no matter which side of the same jewish shekel an american votes for democrats or republican they are both owned by jews and aipac. its important to know and understand democracy is just a cham to keep eyes away from the real problem the jewish parasite causing all these wars from behind the scenes who is working towards our mutual destruction through all these wars and false narratives.
removing maduro wont stop the destruction or economic hardship of venezuela. has israel stopped bombing syria after a ss ad was removed? nothing changed. the israeli backed jihadis still prosecute the innocent and geno them. the israeli jets are still bombing syria on a daily basis. israel even occupied more of syria then the golab they already stole from them. and are now using the druze against them.
the solution is to wake up and take action against the jewish parasites who are controlling the narrative. these jews need to lose their control over us and the narrative and we need to get united as a collective and liberate ourselves from their lies and influence and gate keeping and false lies and manipulation.
the usa dous not want to invest in venezuelan oil they want to steal it. maduro already made them a surrender deal and trump refused.
they want to snatch it away from venezuela while the people suffer. look at iraq has iraq become a rich and wealthy nation? its still under attack by israel even after isis and everything they endured.
