According to US defense officials, the Pentagon is flying an increasing number of reconnaissance flights along the Venezuelan coast.
They say te flights are being carried out in international airspace,
and are intended to gather “classified intelligence” about the Maduro
government.
This comes as top US officials continue to hype the possibility of a US
invasion of Venezuela. On Monday, Vice President Mike Pence reiterated
that this remains an option that is on the table.
While the Pentagon itself says there are no specific plans yet for a
military intervention, it comes as politicians emphasize their interest
in a military intervention. Moreover, the reconnaissance clearly shows
the US is getting itself ready for such an action.
Right now the operations are likely centering on intercepting
communications, with hopes for gauging how their current campaign of
regime change against Maduro is progressing, and looking for openings in
forcing him from power. That doesn’t preclude looking for weaknesses
for an invasion.
The US is a spectacular drama queen.
Pentagonian spies backed by terrorist atom bombs threatening innocent lives. It’s one way to live as an example of a coward for your children.
Unlike the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba by Cuban insurgents there seem to be not enough insurgent Venezuelan troops available outside Venezuela today hence an invasion of Venezuela must be carried out either by our armed forces or by the armed forces of Colombia or by both in collaboration which has not been exercised hence is a prescription for disaster. Brazil has already stated that it will not allow an invasion from its territory and Guyana can be ignored. Where will Curacao stand?
Is it understood in Washington that a real invasion no matter how and no matter by whom will automatically make into traitors the supporters of the self-proclaimed new President?
