Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is "trapped and running out of time" with the Trump Administration was allegedly gearing up to launch strikes on his country.

The imminent strikes are intended to dismantle the country's cartel hierarchy,  specifically targeting military facilities implicated in drug smuggling.

The US Government asserts that the drug trafficking organization in Venezuela is led by strongman Maduro and managed by his subordinates. It comes after Maduro gave Trump an alarming warning and dragged Putin into his disturbing threat.

There's got to be ways to internally do this without military intervention.  As always ...   90% aligned with POTUS, but not on this.

Maduro has allowed Hezbollah and Hamas to take over Isla Margarita (part of Venezuela) to establish training bases on the island. Something that's been largely ignored by the US military.

The holiday island of Isla de Margarita, situated in the Caribbean Sea, has one of the most beautiful beaches of Venezuela and breathtaking scenery. It is here, on the island of exquisite hotels and a glamorous nightlife, that the US military's Southern Command has reported the presence of Hezbollah's support and logistics cells -- one of the most important centers of "terrorist gathering" and "money laundering activities" for Hezbollah.

Brother of Venezuelan diplomat in Syria set training operation in Isla de Margarita

Ambassador Roger Noriega, formerly head of the Organization of American States [OAS], during a recent Hearing of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence Committee on Homeland Security, testified that a key operative in the Hezbollah network in Latin America is the Lebanese-born Ghazi Atef Salameh Nassereddine Abu Ali, Venezuela's No. 2 diplomat in Syria.

Nasreddine, who was black-listed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in June 2008 for his fundraising and logistical support to Hezbollah, is managing, along with his brothers, a network that "raises and launders money and recruits and trains operatives to expand Hezbollah's influence in Venezuela and throughout Latin America." This network also has a presence in Isla Margarita. Ambassador Noriega stated that the Venezuelan diplomat's younger brother, Oday Nassereddine, has established a powerbase in Venezuela by setting up training operations on Isla de Margarita.

Agree he's got to go, but this move won't work well with the country's moderates......   and our chances in 2026.

There's got to be a CIA agent or 2 down there to do the dirty work,.

We'd be lucky if this matter stays that size, but I doubt it.
