PANIC IN CARACAS: US Military and Intelligence Pressure Reportedly Leaves Venezuelan Officials Paranoid, Changing Mobile Phones, Sleeping in Different Locations
Trouble is brewing inside Nicolas Maduro’s inner circle.
The war on the Cartels has seen the largest US military deployment to the Caribbean since the dark days of the Cold War.
Approximately 10,000 U.S. forces deployed to support the operations, mostly stationed in Puerto Rico, while U.S. Marines are deployed aboard naval vessels.
At least 8 U.S. Navy warships operating in the Caribbean Sea, plus one nuclear-powered submarine deployed to the region.
Fighter jets and combat helicopters have been deployed for regional operations, and even strategic bombers have been upping the pressure on Socialist Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Several strikes targeted alleged drug boats off Venezuela’s coast, disrupting drug smuggling operations, claiming the life of over 27 suspected narcoterrorists
With this military escalation, and subsequent activation of the CIA’s covert operations and even lethal action, it’s no wonder many in the Bolivarian regime of Maduro are freaking out.
The buildup in pressure, is understood to be aimed at ousting Maduro through an overwhelming show of force and psychological coercion leading to a breakdown in his regime.
And NOT, it is imagined – to result in an actual ground invasion.
By now, the stranglehold around Venezuela has left top officials paranoid, and has sown discord within Maduro’s inner circle.
