The deployment of USS Gettysburg comes as a carrier strike group is also heading to the region, while Trump denies he is about to strike.
The U.S. Navy is continuing to build up its forces in the Caribbean amid reported claims that an attack on Venezuela could be imminent. The Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg is now in the region, a U.S. Navy official told The War Zone. The Gettysburg adds to a current force of eight other warships deployed as part of enhanced counter-narcotics operations also aimed at Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. In addition, as we have previously reported, the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group has also been ordered to the region, but is not expected to arrive for at least another week.
The Gettysburg is the second cruiser to take part in the operation, joining the USS Lake Erie. The vessels in this class bring a great deal of additional firepower and other capabilities to the flotilla now arrayed in the Caribbean.

News about the Gettysburg deployed to the Caribbean comes as the Miami Herald on Friday reported that U.S. strikes on targets inside Venezuela “could come at any moment.”

I wonder what messages their military received beforehand. They won’t fight.
My question is what channels did we use?
It’s a feint.
We don’t need a flotilla in the Caribbean to launch enough bombers from the Continental US to bomb Venezuela into the Stone Age.
The Bus Driver is probably already in Russia or China ,LOL
Suggestion: Don’t start a war if you haven’t paid your military for a month.
The strike group was scattered all over the region, some as far as the gulf of Aden. As of the 29th, Ford was still in the Ionian Sea.
He doesnt have to. Just their presence there will have an impact.
Enough. Let Vzuela collapse on its own without us getting involved.
Whose military is it that you think will come up short and not perform?
