Great Satan U.S. Bolsters Military Presence in Caribbean: Reports
The United States has reportedly deployed additional troops and special operations aircraft to the Caribbean this week, according to various media sources.
The Wall Street Journal has reported, based on information from unnamed U.S. administration officials and flight-tracking data, that the United States has deployed additional troops and special-operations aircraft to the Caribbean this week.
Reports from the Wall Street Journal indicate that a fleet of at least ten Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, utilized in special operations, along with a C-17 large military transport aircraft with the capacity to carry up to 100 passengers, have been dispatched to the region. Officials, while confirming the deployment to the WSJ, did not provide additional specifics on the transport of troops and military equipment.
The United States has leveled accusations against Caracas, claiming insufficient efforts in tackling drug smuggling. Citing this as justification, reports suggest that a US naval strike group, spearheaded by the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, alongside a nuclear-powered submarine and over 16,000 troops, has been deployed to the Caribbean. Since September, the US military has reportedly destroyed at least 20 vessels and taken action against more than 80 individuals purportedly associated with drug trafficking from Venezuela.
