As we previously reported, the U.S. military is drastically increasing its presence off the coast of Venezuela as President Trump continues to put pressure on Dictator Nicolas Maduro. More on that here: BREAKING: U.S. Military Shows MAJOR Force Near Venezuela as Trump Turns Up Pressure on Maduro But now, it turns out that there's even more going on here than what meets the eye... It's not only about Maduro and the drug cartels. It's about kicking Russia, China, and Iran out of the Western hemisphere, altogether! This clip from Fox News has more details: Backup here, if needed: BREAKING: It's been confirmed that the MASSIVE military buildup in our own hemisphere isn't JUST about Maduro and Venezuela "It's about getting Russia, China and Iran OUT of the western hemisphere."

Now that's what I voted for "Should President Trump order strikes against the Maduro regime...about 30% of all deployed American warships, including Gerald R. Ford, now on station." "There are over 200 tomahawk cruise missiles in theater, aboard destroyers, and U.S. Marines aboard the USS Iwo Jima." "Gen. Razin Caine arrived in Puerto Rico yesterday to meet the forces part of Operation Southern Spear."   For some additional context, Venezuela has asked for support from Russia, China, and Iran as he U.S. has continued to ramp up military presence in the region. A few weeks ago, The Washington Post reported: Amid a buildup of American forces in the Caribbean, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is reaching out to Russia, China and Iran to enhance its worn military capabilities and solicit assistance — requesting defensive radars, aircraft repairs and potentially missiles — according to internal U.S. government documents obtained by The Washington Post. The requests to Moscow were made in the form of a letter meant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and was intended to be delivered during a visit to the Russian capital by a senior aide this month. Maduro, according to the documents, also composed a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping seeking “expanded military cooperation” between their two countries to counter “the escalation between the U.S. and Venezuela.” In the letter, Maduro asked the Chinese government to expedite Chinese companies’ production of radar detection systems, presumably so Venezuela could enhance its capabilities. The documents say Transport Minister Ramón Celestino Velásquez also recently coordinated a shipment of military equipment and drones from Iran while planning a visit to that country. He told an Iranian official that Venezuela was in need of “passive detection equipment,” “GPS scramblers” and “almost certainly drones with 1,000 km [600 mile] range,” the documents state. “In the missive, Maduro emphasized the seriousness of perceived U.S. aggression in the Caribbean, framing U.S. military action against Venezuela as action against China due to their shared ideology,” the U.S. documents said. It’s unclear from the documents how Russia, China and Iran responded. What do you think? Would you support the U.S. military conducting operations to rid our side of the world from foreign influence?
