Venezuela’s authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro issued a rare plea to Donald Trump in English, calling for peace with the United States as tensions between Caracas and Washington escalate following a series of U.S. military operations in the Caribbean and Pacific.
“Yes peace, yes peace forever. Peace forever. No crazy war, please!” Maduro said in English during a meeting with pro-government labor unions in Caracas. Maduro’s comments were met with applause from the audience. Switching between Spanish and English, he repeated the appeal several times: “No war. No war. No crazy war. Yes peace. Please, peace forever.”
Nearly 14% of the U.S. Navy’s entire fleet is now positioned in the Caribbean — a major show of force.
In a massive show of force, President Trump is deploying 4,000 to the Caribbean aboard a flotilla of ships including Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, a nuclear-powered attack submarine, multiple P8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft, several destroyers and a guided-missile cruiser.
Instead of making empty statements about peace, Maduro needs to scorch earth the drug fields.
President Trump hit another Tren de Aragua boat, killing six, and the worthless UN claims it amounts to “executions.”
A Russian Weapons Threat According to anonymous defense experts cited by The Latin Times, U.S. naval forces operating off the coast of Venezuela could face a credible threat from Russian-made anti-ship missiles in the event of a military confrontation.
The outlet also claims we blew up a fisherman and his family, and drugs get through in cargo vessels, not on small boats.
The US CIA says otherwise.
Democrats and some Republicans are displeased with the drug war and blowing up drug vessels.
Yes, I bet they are. It drives up the price of cocaine and makes it even more unaffordable to them!...............
If he wants peace, he needs to put his money where his mouth is. Stop sending his gangs, drugs and human trafficking into the USA.
Maduro seems to have changed his attitude.
.
Ha!
Did Rand Paul instruct Maduro to say this?
Stop bringing drugs into our country, a-hole. Then we can have peace.
The CIA basically lies about everything, so I’m not so sure those boats were carrying drugs.
“If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, hang up and dial 911.”
Probably Trump saying “I think we’re just gonna kill ‘em. They’ll be like... dead” about the drug boats.
I’m with Maduro, and the Global South on this one.
This unhinged bravado which I am not a fan of is not what I want for my Country. We want their oil and Machado, has promised too open up the oil fields to the US if installed.
Bkmk
Yeah, the new MAGA is totally cool.with regime change if their Bronzed Lord Donne is calling for it
Then what was the cargo? Flash frozen Chilean sea bass that had to get to the market before it thawed?

If you look at the engines on those boats and do a little research you will see they are all running two or three large outboards. 200 or more horsepower each. These are NO WAY IN HELL some fishing boat with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of engines on them.
<≈======DU is that way, comrade
“Stop bringing drugs into our country, a-hole. Then we can have peace.”
Exactly
It sounds like our President is
listening to the Coast Guard.
They probably have watched these boats
for awhile and know exactly who is who.
Colombia really wouldn’t like that.
The sub was hunting sea bass with torpedos after crabbing plan A failed when they were not able to cast their nets for crabs while 300 yards undersea without wetting their shoes.
