US Military Build-Up in the Caribbean: Washington Targets Drug Traffickers



A major US military build-up is in full swing in the Caribbean.
The Trump administration insists it’s aimed at curbing drug-trafficking, and has ordered a series of lethal strikes on suspected smuggling vessels.
But Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has accused Washington of trying to justify a war to seize his country’s vast oil and gas reserves.
Patty Culhane looks at what’s being deployed to the region.

  1. Venezuela is a joke thats run by a cartel mindset. Their people constantly live in fear they have no freedom or even freedom of speech and their main sorce of income is illegal drugs. Tbh the best thing that could happen to Venezuela is to have America take it over and give these people some structure and freedom. But that will never happen so your stuck being a slave to the Venezuela cartel. Stop sending drug boats and we wouldn't have to keep blowing them up its pretty simple

  2. If you don't want your drug boats blown up and don't bring your drugs to the country you bring your drugs to America we will kill you on the way and that's the way it's got to be drugs are killing people in this country in the president's sick and tired of it and I don't blame you so if you don't want to die don't put in charge of this country

  3. Venezuela is a founding member of OPEC and one of the world's largest exporters of oil, which remains its dominant export product. They also have large amounts of gold, iron core, nickel, and uranium.

  4. 916,000 square kilometers of which about 25,000 square kilometers is relevant to the military. The rest is just a bunch of potential collateral damage!

  5. Jesus Christ – Can Al Jazeera come out with less disgusting promo of US military violence. "Against drug traffickers with B1 Bombers, F22, F35 etc etc. Does Al Jazeera think the rest of the world are mo Rons? The former president of Philippines is in jail for taking action against actual drug traffickers in his own country. Arrested by ICC, demanded by Western countries. The Americans navy are blowing up civilian ships in the Caribbean on "suspicion" and you Al Jazeera is cheering?

  6. This isn’t about drugs (which makes you wonder about WHO actually was killed on those boats), it’s about getting rid of Maduro and getting Venezuela’s oil…Trump has spoken of it numerous times.

  7. Somebody from the Trump Administration is going to have to be charged with murder there's no way we can guarantee every single person on those boats were guilty even if just one or two people out of everybody was innocent that's just horrible disgusting and God will judge

  8. The United States has a history of invasion for decades. Slowly people are dying from drugs😢
    We had millions of immigrants coming to our country from every country freely. To this day, immigrants, drugs, and crimes are out of control. 😢
    The United States may seem beautiful to other people, searching for survival, and they took advantage of our country. The immigrants call it freedom, they settle in permanently. Now, they have accumulated millions of new generations. They are citizens and they protest against our Governments, disrespectfully. They took advantage of freedom of speech. Our country is going out of control. Trump is fighting for us, to live a good life, no crimes, no drugs, no frauds, no scammers. 😢
