I don't know if you've heard the news, but several US ships have sailed towards Venezuela's coast in order to "combat drug trafficking". Someone investigate the ships to see if they're old to see if they gonna false-flag Venezuela. I know that Nothing Ever Happens, but Trump has already put a price to Maduro's head and these news… I think something's cooking, something's sizzling.

Just making this thread in the case to discuss this, and to see if there are further happenings. I'm going to be honest, I'm getting bad vibes from this.

AHEM

If you would please consult the graphs

Three U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers have been deployed off the coast of Venezuela as part of President Donald Trump’s plan to combat drug cartels in Latin America.

A source familiar with the move confirmed to Scripps News that the destroyers include the USS Gravely, the USS Jason Dunham and the USS Sampson. The deployment will bring the U.S. military posture in the area to about 4,000 sailors and Marines.

According to Reuters, the broader region will also have several Boeing P-8 Poseidon spy planes, warships and at least one attack submarine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked about the U.S. military going after drug traffickers late last week and said it's a goal President Donald Trump has made clear.

"There are designated narco-terrorist groups operating in the region, some of them utilizing international airspace, international waters, to transit poison into the United States," Rubio said. "And those groups will be confronted.

The US tries this every year and it always fails just like half their cous because they always cut costs anyway and send a bunch of schios to take over entire governments by themselves.

The oldest of those ships is USS Iwo Jima, which has had about 24 years of service, being deployed in 2001. Don't know if that's old enough.

in any case they wont invade, worse they will do is blow up stuff from the sky and block maritime traffic (which is quite enough to wreck the country)

>>2440521
>Is Venezuela about to be fucking invaded?
Trump wants his peace prize but he can change his mind in the +3 years he has left. Venezuela certainly has the home field advantage of dense jungles to continue guerilla operations.

>>2440556
Isn't most of Venezuela a prairie?

>war

Looks like someone forgot Chudda perennial wisdom about happenings, repeat after me: nothing ever happens

Diosdado Cabello: Those who believe the happeninigs should get not only a medal, the medal of merit to being gulible but not only a medal but a medal, cord and sash, the sash should say Major Gullible.
And yesterday some sniper rifles were presented as being part of a fascist plot.

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - The United States has ordered an amphibious squadron to the southern Caribbean as part of President Donald Trump's effort to address threats from Latin American drug cartels, two sources briefed on the deployment said on Wednesday.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the USS San Antonio, USS Iowa Jima and USS Fort Lauderdale could arrive off the coast of Venezuela as early as Sunday. The ships are carrying 4,500 service members, including 2,200 Marines, the sources said.

I think this one might actually happen though. If it does it will cause millions of death. Because the military and population is actually loyal to Maduro (we saw it with the Gaido coup), this won't go easely like operation just cause.

This. I am all in on nothing. More sanctions and shit. Maybe some silly assaasination drone hijinks or US funded protesters/saboteurs. Basically nothing more than the kind of shit they did in his first term.

>>2440521
Proxy US-Mexican war coming

AIGHT Z GANG WHERE DO WE STAND IN THIS INTERIMPERIALIST CONFLICT???

USA
>ruled by based Trump instead of cringe neoliberals now
>MAGA is pro-Russia and anti-Dengist
>US military is being re-geared to fight Chinese imperialism in Central Asia and Africa instead of Russian liberation forces
>shares cultural concerns about the degradation of classical Western virtues and religion with the Russian Federation

Venezuela
>is a Russian ally
>has Russian planes
>supplies oil to enemies of the West without question

Im leaning towards America because they will soon help Russian in Donbass but i am curious for your thoughts

>>2441049
Fuck off, either you work for the burger state dept. and/or 100% of your opinions come from them.

>>2441049
For all of ziggers flaws i don't see them dickride the US now that Trump is president like i thought they would.
Some of them did a 180° into based racist atlanticist though, but they're not zigger anymore by definition.

>>2441059
They were 100% intending to when Zelensky got mogged in the White House, Russian Telegram was going crazy like another Sino-Soviet split was imminent, Israel has got to be a red line though. I would be surprised if there's any hardcore ziggas left who are 100% behind MAGA. Maybe there are the European ziggas who are Marxist-Leninist but their main thing is actually deporting brown people from Europe, but they aren't found in /leftypol/ much.

>>2441049
How is it interimperialist?.


>>2441064
>European ziggas
do these even exist?

Pull up.


>>2441138
no mention of russia on his wiki, sad

>>2441049
Seems like zizters don't wanna give you an answer to this

Venezuela is a danger to the United States, they're using drugs of mass destruction on american soil, and Maduro is proffiting of it.

>>2440521
NEH but it should happen for the accelerationism

>>2441604
I hope that the corrupt Guyanese government gets overthrown when the Esequibo gets annexed before it becomes a tourist Hotspot for wealthy expats as the people continue to be impoverished while the puppet government gets wealthy and sells the country out. Forbes Burnham and Cheddi Jagan would be crying to see how far the country has fallen

Trump wants to cinch up Ukraine to pivot to Venezuela

>>2441604
I'm all NEHgang but now I'm against this instance of thing accelerating
The Don wants his Nobel and I bet he is more willing to a siege rather than ground, why? Because they are still waiting for the opposition to do the heckin Couperino that will bring back foreign capital without oblivious treaties that favour the exploited country, remember than an imperial troop is valued at 1000 natives

>>2441916
I'm still waiting for the Russian tupolevs to go there again

John Bolton already planned to invade Venezuela in 2019 when Iván Duque and Jair Bolsonaro were in power, now that most of Latin America is under left-wing governments I can’t see it happening.

>Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has pledged to mobilise more than four million militia fighters in response to new United States “threats” after Washington raised a reward for his arrest and launched new antidrug operations in the Caribbean.

<“This week, I will activate a special plan with more than 4.5 million militiamen to ensure coverage of the entire national territory – militias that are prepared, activated and armed,” Maduro said in a televised address on Monday.


>Maduro urged his political base to expand worker and peasant militias and promised to arm them with “rifles and missiles” to defend the country’s sovereignty.

>The oldest of those ships is USS Iwo Jima, which has had about 24 years of service, being deployed in 2001. Don't know if that's old enough.
Not that old for a warship. It carries Marines. It's also part of a group with a few other landing ships that also carry Marines and amphibious vehicles called AAVs (and hovercraft). But just a few thousand Marines between them.

>>2441038
>I think this one might actually happen though.
Well this is nowhere close to what they'd need to invade Venezuela so I think it's probably more intended to look threatening. That is euphemistically called "naval diplomacy."

>>2441042
>This. I am all in on nothing. More sanctions and shit. Maybe some silly assaasination drone hijinks or US funded protesters/saboteurs.
Yeah.

>>2441138
>Oui
I was reading about him awhile ago and him getting in trouble for saying the Jews are pervs (true) but it's like, c'mon bro you're French. And then in his early life he was a pick-up artist.

Or maybe the U.S. seizes a Venezuelan ship using the drug thing as a pretext.

But invading a country like that would take months of buildup. It would be obvious because the National Guard would be called up (it's necessary, just logistically) and people would see freight trains loaded down with hundreds and hundreds of tanks and other vehicles heading from the inland Army bases towards the seaports. And this would go on for awhile. Then there would be a campaign to bombard people with propaganda.

This is more like saying "we don't like you."

This is also why the U.S. ended up being correct when it accused Russia of preparing to invade Ukraine, because just the buildup was on a scale that you don't do even for large military exercises.

>>2443947
i mean, i wouldn't be if these raised-by-TV retards in the hwyte house unironically believe they can send in some marines to tom clancley it before anyone notices.

>>2444006
They literally tried that and it didn’t work

>>2443947
>>2444006
yeah even the bush admin didn't actually raise the needed amount of troops to invade iraq, they were told what it would take (which would probably require a return to the draft which wasn't considered possible even after 9/11) and said "nah we can do this lean and efficient like". I can see the Trump admin doing an even more farcical version of this reasoning where they think they can blow some stuff up and watch the Maduro government magically collapse, probably being sold that narrative by the Venezuelan opposition who are trying to rope them in telling them how easy it will be in the hope they will have to escalate or admit defeat once it's clear that it's going to take a real effort.

>>2443926
Actually he's Swiss not French.
