Venezuela mobilizes its militia after US says it's deploying military forces to waters around Latin America

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday the deployment of 4.5 million militiamen throughout the country, assuring that “no empire will touch the sacred soil of Venezuela,” after the United States doubled the reward for information leading to his arrest and increased the number of troops sailing around Latin America and the Caribbean.

Last week, the US government confirmed to CNN that it had ordered naval movements in the region to contain the threat from drug trafficking groups. On Monday, Reuters reported that three US Navy destroyers and some 4,000 military personnel would arrive at the edge of Venezuela’s territorial waters within the next 36 hours.

On Tuesday, however, a US Department of Defense official said there are currently no US ships in the area and nor have the ships received orders to head there. Venezuelan territory has almost 2,500 miles of coastline.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked Tuesday about a possible troop deployment to Venezuela following reports of the military buildup. “President (Donald) Trump has been very clear and consistent. He’s prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice,” she said.

Is it possible to lock up Trump and Maduro in the same room? Such would make so many people's lives better.

1. shithole is so desperate to remain in power..................

he would start a war which he believes a weaker country .....................

Pres Z has said Ukraine can't hold election during a war, which makes sense Ukraine is under attack.

The US would be the aggressor, so I shake my head on that one.
