US Military Buildup Near Venezuela

Over 13,000 US Marines have now arrived near Venezuela, and what's

happening in the Caribbean looks like the biggest military buildup since Iraq.

Just off Venezuela's coast, Trinidad and Tobago has turned into a full-blown

military zone. Meanwhile, the airspace above Puerto Rico has been

completely shut down under national defense protocol.

Two US aircraft carriers are already in position, and a third

is racing

in from the Caribbean. This could be one of the largest US strike

packages

since World War II. Meanwhile, the US officials are saying that there's

no plan to attack Venezuela, but analysts are calling it the biggest

military

buildup since the Iraq War. In response, Venezuela has warned the United

States that if an attack is launched, it will retaliate with its full strength.

They deployed their Russian-made S300V and BKM-2 air

defense systems. Both nations are now on high alert, and tensions

across the Caribbean are reaching a breaking point.
