Top General Dan Caine Visits US Troops in Puerto Rico, as Military Siege of Venezuela Expected To Enter ‘New Phase’

‘Raizin’ Cane is in the house.

We have been reporting on the largest military deployment to Latin America since the 1990’s, piling up immense pressure on the socialist regime of Venezuela.

As the buildup seems impossible to top, Trump sent his top general to visit the region.

Leadership at the front.

The tensions are surging, and the efforts to make Nicolás Maduro quit to avoid confrontation reach its highest point yet.

Warships, aircraft and personnel are in position.

Maduro is accused of leading a drug organization known as the ‘Cartel of the Suns’, and he has a $50million bounty on his head.

Daily Mail reported:

“On Monday, Gen. Dan Caine, the US president’s primary military adviser, visited troops in Puerto Rico, where the US has been amassing its large fleet – roughly 500 miles from Venezuela.

In a statement, Caine, who is also the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the purpose of his trip was to ‘engage with service members and thank them for their outstanding support to regional missions.’

This marks the second time he has visited the region since the US began building its military might – in September, he went to Puerto Rico with defense secretary Pete Hegseth, who has been providing Trump with various options for military operations in Venezuela.”

The escalation has led to airlines cancelling all flights to Venezuela after the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issuing warning over the ‘worsening security situation and heightened military activity’ in and around the country.
