When hundreds of America's admirals and generals gathered at a military base in Virginia on September 30th, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth instructed them to "prepare for war".  Unfortunately, he was not exaggerating.  We are on the brink of war with Venezuela, President Trump is threatening to take military action if Hamas does not disarm, our relations with China are rapidly deteriorating, and if we give Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine that will put us just one step away from a nuclear war with Russia.  I am entirely convinced that the months ahead will be extremely dramatic.  Let us hope that global leaders make wise decisions during this time, because a single miscalculation could lead to the unthinkable.

On Monday, it was being reported that three B-52 bombers have been "hovering near Venezuelan airspace"…

Massive U.S. B-52H Stratofortress bombers have been spotted flying sorties over the southern Caribbean, hovering near Venezuelan airspace in a clear demonstration of military might.

Three aircraft—call signs BUNNY01, BUNNY02, and BUNNY03—were observed on extended flight patterns from Louisiana's Barksdale Air Force Base in a striking show of force aimed at Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

This comes as the Trump administration has stepped up military operations in the region, including a series of recent strikes on vessels off Venezuela's coast that the U.S. linked to narcotics trafficking. The strikes, which have resulted in multiple fatalities, have drawn condemnation from Caracas and heightened concerns about escalating tensions between the two countries.

Many pundits believe that threatening Venezuela with B-52 bombers is essentially a "final warning" to the regime of Nicolas Maduro.

Trump wants Maduro to step down peacefully, but that isn't going to happen.

Meanwhile, we continue to bomb Venezuelan ships that are trafficking drugs…

The US military conducted yet another strike on a boat alleged to be trafficking drugs off the coast of Venezuela, killing six people on board, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday.
