Maduro issues ultimatum to all Americans as 200000 troops, warships & anti-air defenses get ready

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has issued a grave warning to the American people, urging them to unite with Venezuela to prevent “another prolonged conflict” in the Americas. His message comes as the U.S. unveils Operation Southern Spear, a major military campaign targeting what Washington calls narco-terror networks in the Caribbean. The operation includes over 20 boat strikes, expanded naval patrols, and the largest U.S. regional military buildup since 1989. Maduro and his defense leadership view the escalation as a direct attempt to force regime change. Caracas has mobilized 200,000 troops, missile units, warships, and millions of militia reservists while launching nationwide drills. Meanwhile, Trump officials have held three days of back-to-back meetings on Venezuela, with the President signaling he has “sort of made up” his mind on possible action. With U.S. warships, F-35 deployments, and a reactivated Puerto Rico base, Caribbean war clouds are rapidly gathering.
