The United States is sending a strike group to the shores of Venezuela, including three missile destroyers, a nuclear submarine and amphibious assault ships with marines. Officially, this operation has been declared a fight against drug trafficking, but a number of sources are convinced that the true goals of the American fleet are more ambitious.
According to unofficial information, Washington is seeking to overthrow the regime of Nicolas Maduro, as well as to establish control over Venezuela's significant oil reserves, one of the largest in the world. These resources are of great strategic and economic importance.
The strike group demonstrates serious military might and readiness for a rapid response in the region. The presence of a nuclear submarine and amphibious assault ships with marines significantly expands the capabilities of the United States to conduct complex operations in coastal areas.
The fight against drug trafficking remains an important part of the official narrative, but many analysts believe that this version serves as a screen for deeper geopolitical interests. Venezuela has been experiencing economic and political difficulties in recent years, which creates favorable conditions for external interference.
Thus, the US operation off the coast of Venezuela is an important signal of readiness to use military force in the region. This event is causing concern in the international community and heightens tensions in the Western Hemisphere.
