The Pentagon has deployed Vermont Air National Guard F-35 fighter jets to the Caribbean amid rising tensions involving Venezuela. US Senator Peter Welch said the move forms part of Operation Southern Spear aimed at countering drug trafficking. Reports say the jets are likely operating from Puerto Rico alongside combat search and rescue aircraft.
Analysts say such assets suggest preparation for potential military action. President Donald Trump hinted at land operations against traffickers while Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro rejected US pressure. The deployment follows the seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and renewed regional instability.

when will these brainwashed yanks wake up…?
Donald Trump’s blind admiration for Vladimir Putin will soon backfire in a way he never anticipated. When the truth comes out that Putin has been sending military advisors and advanced equipment to Venezuela for years, Trump will finally grasp the full scale of his so-called 'friendship' with Putin. The reality will hit hard: Putin’s real loyalties lie in advancing Russia's global dominance, not in supporting Trump’s personal ambitions. The question is—will Trump be ready to face the consequences of his dangerous alliance?
This will be a "special operation" not a declaration of war Trump learned with Putin, I predict this kind of action by the US in Latin America since day one of Russian invasion of Ukraine but I failed only in country I bet in Mexico but who knows after Venezuela.

Ode to the Broken Banner
O you, who rose upon the roar of the forgotten—
you who spoke of walls, of borders, of a nation restored,
who promised the soldiers would come home,
that the age of endless war would end.
The crowds believed you,
their hands calloused, their hearts weary of deceit.
They heard “America First” and thought, at last,
someone would remember the ones who build,
the ones who serve, the ones who pay.
But the throne you built was not for them.
In time, your loyalty shifted,
not to the people who filled your rallies,
but to the financiers behind the curtain—
Wall Street’s whisperers, the donors who trade
patriotism for profit and policy for gain.
Your oath was bartered in the boardrooms,
your ear bent toward the generals of industry,
the brokers of war whose ledgers demand conflict.
You spoke against the CIA’s shadows,
then danced with them in the dark—
funding the fires in Ukraine,
saber-rattling in Iran,
pressuring Venezuela,
sending the taxpayer’s gold to distant lands
while America’s streets cracked and the roofs caved in.
You called yourself a rebel,
but bowed to the very complex you vowed to destroy—
the military-industrial machine,
its gears slick with the oil of foreign blood and domestic silence.
You called the media fake,
yet you fed them spectacle.
You called out the swamp,
yet swam in its deepest waters.
And when your own asked you for truth—
the secrets sealed, the Epstein files,
the justice you once hinted at—
you turned away and said,
“I don’t need you.”
There, the bond broke.
The loyal saw that the banner was not theirs;
it was stitched for markets,
hemmed in the fabric of capital,
held aloft by the hands of the agencies
that never bow to ballots,
that profit from war as others profit from peace.
And now you stand upon a precipice of your own making—
surrounded not by the people,
but by the ghosts of promises unkept.
The drums you once promised to still
beat louder than ever.
The nation you swore to serve
grows weary of the echo of your contradictions.
You were given the faith of millions—
and traded it for applause from the powerful.
You were offered a movement—
and built instead a monument to yourself.
So let this ode be not praise, but prophecy:
that no man can serve both the people and the machine,
that loyalty is not a currency to be spent on influence,
and that even the loudest voice of rebellion
is hollow when it kneels to empire.
Another Vietnam coming up. They NEVER learn.
El Loco needs medical supervision.
Glory To Venezuela Glory To Maduro F The Zionists Regime Soon they Ganna find out Glory to Russia and Iran and China 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀✊
