Over the past two months, the United States has engaged in an alarming buildup of military capabilities in the Caribbean.

These capabilities vastly exceed the demands of even the most ambitious counter-narcotics program.

A report from the Miami Herald (quickly disavowed by the Trump administration) suggested that plans were in place for an extensive military campaign against Venezuela that would target military installations and suspected narcotics transit points on the way to a potential regime change campaign.

Nevertheless, official Trump administration statements have been frustratingly vague regarding the desired outcomes of policy towards Caracas. Are we at risk of drifting into war with Venezuela?

    This is possibly the stupidest policy from the stupidest, most wasteful, inefficient administration ever. These weirdos really need to stop.

      Why do you think they’re even interested? Is it practice on political influence by force, before doing something in house? Is it to prevent the spread of something like socialist democracy? If only to beat the drum of local news, why Venezuela specifically and why was the impact on Venezuela planned out so specifically?
