U.S-Venezuela Full Scale War Soon? U.S Warships Crosses Panama Canal As Venezuele Mobilizes Tanks [Video]

U.S-Venezuela Full Scale War Soon? U.S Warships Crosses Panama Canal As Venezuele Mobilizes Tanks

A U.S. missile cruiser has crossed the Panama Canal, heading toward the Caribbean in what many fear is a prelude to a wider conflict with Venezuela. The USS Lake Erie entered the canal late Friday night and began its eight-hour journey toward the Atlantic, joining a massive U.S. naval deployment near Venezuelan waters. Washington has already stationed eight warships, thousands of Marines, and even a nuclear submarine close to Venezuela’s coast. While U.S. officials claim the mission is aimed at combating drug cartels, critics say the overwhelming firepower suggests a hidden regime change agenda. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has defiantly warned that the United States cannot invade his country, mobilizing 15,000 troops, drones, and naval assets in response. Caracas’s UN envoy mocked Washington, declaring: “No one fights drug cartels with nuclear submarines.” With the U.S. doubling its bounty on Maduro to $50 million, tensions are nearing breaking point. #USNavy #Venezuela #Maduro #PanamaCanal #USS LakeErie #NuclearSubmarine #CaribbeanCrisis #USWarships #BreakingNews #Washington #Caracas #MilitaryDeployment #LatinAmerica #DrugCartels #ImperialistThreat #VenezuelaCrisis #Geopolitics #RegimeChange #Warships #Conflict ~ED.102~HT.408~

All Out War In U.S Backyard? Venezuela Vows To ‘CRUSH’ U.S Nuclear Submarine | SHOCKING Escalation

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has defiantly declared that the United States cannot invade his country, even as Washington intensifies its military buildup in the Caribbean. The U.S. Navy has deployed eight warships, thousands of marines, and even a nuclear submarine close to Venezuela’s waters, sparking fears of a wider conflict. In response, Caracas has mobilized 15,000 troops, drones, and warships to reinforce security along the Colombia border. While U.S. officials insist the deployment is aimed at combating drug cartels, critics argue the scale of the operation points to a regime change agenda. Venezuela’s ambassador to the UN ridiculed the move, saying “no one fights drug cartels with nuclear submarines.” Meanwhile, Washington doubled its bounty on Maduro to $50 million, intensifying the pressure. Maduro insists Venezuela is stronger than ever and ready to confront what he calls an imperialist threat to sovereignty and peace. #Maduro #Venezuela #USNavy #NuclearSubmarine #CaribbeanCrisis #ImperialistThreat #VenezuelanArmy #USMilitary #GlobalTensions #Warships #USSanjAntonio #USSwoJima #ColombiaBorder #DrugCartels #SamuelMoncada #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #LatinAmerica #MaduroVsUS #WorldNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.102~
