Venezuela's Maduro pledges own anti-drug ops under Trump pressure​

Venezuela has announced a sweeping military buildup along its coasts to fight drug trafficking, a direct response to United States operations in the Caribbean. President Nicolás Maduro framed the expansion as a sovereign crackdown, insisting it is independent of U.S. pressure amid Washington's deployment of 10 additional fighter jets to Puerto Rico and a strike on a Venezuelan vessel carrying drugs...

...Venezuela's new deployments mark a departure from its past approach, when the government largely dismissed the United States' accusations of drug trafficking and focused on denouncing Washington's actions. This time, Maduro is putting tens of thousands of troops into coastal and border regions, presenting the buildup as a proactive move to confront narcotics networks.

Getting things done, in stark contrast to the previous administration.

This is a good thing and you are correct destroying that drug carrying boat and threatening to shoot down any Venezuelan planes that buzzed any US war ships
is not something that the Biden administration would have even considered doing. It's also exactly what the American people want to see from our government - proof that we're not taking any cr*p from anyone anymore. Especially some pissant South American Banana republic.

I dislike Trump but have zero problem with these actions.

Hopefully the Democrats will learn from this and stop being a bunch of limp-wristed wimps afraid to use our power.

Good post. I'm impressed.

I'm confused. i thought the Venezuelan navy was providing protection to the drug cartels, and being paid for this.

are they really going to start shooting at their former employers now? let's take a wait and see attitude before celebrating.

More good news update:

DEA arrests over 600 people in massive operation against the Sinaloa drug cartel​

The Drug Enforcement Administration said that it arrested over 600 people during a weeklong operation targeting the Sinaloa drug cartel.

The arrests were “aimed at dismantling the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the world’s most violent and powerful drug cartels, responsible for flooding the United States with fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin,” according to the DEA.

In February, the Trump administration designated the Mexico-based Sinaloa cartel, along with seven other groups, as a foreign terrorist organization. The cartel remains one of the most significant threats to public safety, public health and national security in the U.S., according to the DEA’s statement on the arrests.

From Aug. 25 through Aug. 29, DEA agents across 23 domestic field divisions and seven foreign regions carried out coordinated enforcement actions that resulted in the arrests of 617 people, along with the seizure of 480 kilograms of fentanyl powder, 714,707 counterfeit pills, 2,209 kilograms of methamphetamine, 7,469 kilograms of cocaine, 420 firearms and currency and assets worth close to $13 million, the DEA said.

Another positive step that the previous administration failed to take.
