53 sec About Venezuela War & conflict
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.

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.
