After the U.S. military ships "embraced" Venezuela, the U.S. military suddenly launched three terrorist attacks on four ships in the name of combating terrorist organizations. Venezuela faces a severe situation, and at the critical moment, Maduro finally reached the strong aid, a Russian military aircraft landed in Venezuela.
On October 28, local time, the U.S. military suddenly launched an airstrike on four ships in the eastern Pacific, killing 14 people and wounding one. U.S. Defense Secretary Hergez confirmed the news and further revealed that the U.S. military carried out three “fatal strikes” on the ship.
In recent times, the situation between the United States and Venezuela has continued to be tense. Previously, the United States had continued to send more troops to the Caribbean waters under the guise of "combating drug trafficking." In addition to deploying multiple warships to the waters around Venezuela, it also sent multiple F-35 stealth fighter jets to Puerto Rico, not far from Venezuela. It seemed like it wanted to "encircle" Venezuela in both the sea and air fields.
More importantly, on October 23rd, local time, US President Trump publicly announced that he would expand the military strike against the so-called "Venezuelan drug dealers" unilaterally identified by the United States in a short time, and even take ground action against Venezuela to "arrest drug dealers from land". It can be seen that the United States intends to implement comprehensive military deterrence against Venezuela from three aspects: land, sea and air.
Under the aggressive pressure of the United States, Venezuela is facing a severe test. Venezuelan President Maduro has publicly sent a peace signal to the United States, saying that Venezuela "wants peace but not war". At the same time, he also stressed that if the United States dares to take the wrong step of invading Venezuela, millions of Venezuelan troops and militiamen will resolutely resist. However, due to the huge gap in the military strength of the United States and Venezuela, the outside world is skeptical about whether Maduro can lead Venezuela to defend the security of national sovereignty.
On October 28, local time, US media revealed that a Russian military aircraft IL-76 transport aircraft suddenly landed in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, allegedly carrying unknown goods.
Public opinion speculates that the Russian transport plane suddenly appeared in Venezuela, probably secretly transporting Russia's ace air defense system S-400. However, some US media analysts said that this aircraft model used to transport small arms, military supplies and other tasks for the Russian army. If it really wants to transport the S-400 air defense system, it is likely to need to fly several more times.
At present, it is still a mystery what cargo is contained in the Russian aircraft, but what is clear is that the appearance of the Russian aircraft in Venezuela at this critical juncture itself reflects Russia's firm support for Venezuela. It is worth noting that after the arrival of Russian aircraft, Venezuela immediately responded to the US air strikes. On October 29 local time, Venezuela announced that it had intercepted and seized an aircraft that had entered the country illegally. In order to exercise its sovereignty, the Venezuelan government ordered it to be "scrapped." The outside world believes that this is a manifestation of Venezuela's intention to issue a clear warning to the United States.
In addition, Venezuela recently defeated a “false flag” operation funded by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. The main content of the operation was to attack a U.S. warships stationed in the Caribbean Sea and marry it to Venezuela. If the operation succeeded, it would undoubtedly give the U.S. a pretext to strike directly against Venezuela. In fact, this is not the first time that the Venezuelan side defeated such action, enough to prove that the U.S. is willing to intensify the contradiction and use military means to the goal. In this regard, the international community should raise caution and avoid war burning and spread in the Latin American region.
