Maduro is flexing so much that we notice it’s fear.
We have been reporting here on TGP how the US Donald J. Trump administration has fundamentally changed the balance of power in Latin America, sending the socialists into a panic.
The most visible aspect of this new era is the largest military detachment to the subcontinent in 25 years – 7 Navy ships, including a nuclear-capable submarine, all stationed off the coast of Venezuela.
The US has charged Maduro with sanction evasion and has branded him a Narco-Trafficker and a Cartel chief. A $50 million reward for his capture has been issued.
The board is set; the pieces are moving.
And the Tyrant of Caracas is boasting that his country can’t be invaded.
Newsweek reported:
“There is no way they can enter Venezuela,” Maduro said, calling the U.S. deployment of multiple warships, a nuclear-powered submarine, and 4,500 troops a siege that only strengthens his government. The move, part of President Donald Trump’s intensified anti-drug cartel operations, has sparked the most serious U.S.-Venezuela confrontation in years.
[…] The standoff signals Washington’s growing willingness to project military force in Latin America, under the banner of countering drug cartels, while simultaneously putting pressure on the Maduro regime.”

“Maduro portrayed the U.S. naval presence as a hostile siege that violates the U.N. Charter. He thanked Colombian President Gustavo Petro for deploying 25,000 troops to support security along their shared border, framing the move as a joint effort to protect Venezuela and the wider border region.
Maduro said civil defense units would continue training weekly and vowed that no foreign power could touch Venezuela’s ‘sacred lands’. He also referenced the U.S. bounty on his head, noting that Washington recently doubled it to $50 million for his capture.”

“Admiral Daryl Claude, the U.S. Navy’s chief of naval operations, confirmed that U.S. warships were deployed to waters off South America, citing concerns that some Venezuelans were participating in large-scale drug operations, though Washington has made no public threat to invade.”
