The Pentagon says two Venezuelan F-16 fighter jets flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters Thursday in what they call a ‘highly provocative’ move. This marks a new escalation in the two countries’ standoff over Washington’s Caribbean deployment. During a trip to neighboring Ecuador on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio underlined the US’s increasingly aggressive stance towards Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
In Caracas, Venezualan President Nicolas Maduro says ‘imperialism is launching a new attack’ aimed at regime change. He insists his country will stand firm — but will he be relying on China for help?
The US deployment in the Caribbean has dramatically escalated tensions with Venezuela, whose president Nicolas Maduro has vowed to protect his country’s sovereignty against what he calls ‘US imperial aggression’. But Caracas is increasingly dependent on China when it comes to facing off against the US.

Copied: HOW DARE THE VENEZUELANS place their borders so close to US warships!
Hypocrisy and manipulation should be a university course!
🎉🎉yes i know we are treading carefully in todays world, and yes we endeavour to not rock the boat and yes we most certainly are allowing a lot of unpious and unlawful activities go by with out our usual diplomatic and if need be military, interventions, BECAUSE, We have chosen to conduct ourselves, in a manner of slackness, maybe we do this while collecting evidence etc. But either way we do not want to rock the boat in world affairs but if 0there is a state run by miscreants, then, my dear peoples, of youtube, we have to intervene
Don"t tell the people nonsense
US is angry for the oil of Venezuela..
Venezuela must join the BRICS
democracy door of the sin's 😊
Drugs supplies will be near zero by the end of Trump term ❤❤❤.
an unfortunate nation having felons as senators, ministers and president, having imperialist mindset, now acting like petty thieves, robbers and beggars. An unparalleled fall in tha annals of history.
There is no international water, USA should go to home
no one care about USA news. its not important to th world anymore
USA are lying too march to a extend that they don't have anything to say, very useless comment from useless analysis
Relying on China for help.. wth
America is the most powerful country in the world. No one can compete with it.
欲加之罪何患无词
Venezuela has backup, and they are strong😮
For all we know this is happening because the seahawks didn’t run the ball.
Refufuge to CIVILIANS?… Exercilent TACTICS….
American Gangsters…
What a shame in usa,calling a president a drug lord, without evidence. God bless Venezuela 🇻🇪 from Nigeria
President Maduro is a good president.
I am glad Marco Rubio really knows and understands the Venezuelan deceptive, criminal subculture that emerged after the political government of Chavez socialism that are becoming the defining culture of the nation. Rubio knows the mindset and cunning behavior of maduro and his goons, so he knows how to deal with them. This is something that that the so called “experts” don’t understand and besides they don’t care about the Venezuelan people that are impoverish and starving. They are so determined to criticize and destroy the US they don’t mind to make Maduro a hero. I would love for them to go to Venezuela and live there for at least 6 months and stop talking nonsense.
What are they after the oil oil oil
So they are provocative por flying over ships that traveled thousands of kilometers president is a joke 😂😂
Hopefully china stans behind venezuela
The Venezuelan citizens are not joining a militia they are joining their Military Armed forces. Make no mistake and stop using belittling words.
Who 1st introduced dangerous to the World ? Who.distributed them World-wide ?
US Navy is off Venezuela coast, not the other way round, who is being provocative
We stand with Venezuela
DO AS THE INSTIGATOR DO
RUBIO IS CHANGING HIS STORY DRAMATICALLY
So if a jet flies near another in international waters , how is this an issue?
