F-18 Fighter Jets Flew Deep Inside Gulf Of Venezuela In Closest Approach Yet
For the first time, two US Navy F/A-18 fighter jets flew deep into the Gulf of Venezuela, the body of water bordered by Venezuelan territory on three sides, in what appears to be the latest ultra-provocative show of force from Washington. Some reports say the jets lingered long in the airspace, circling the gulf for some 40 minutes.
The flyover happened Tuesday and appears the closest known approach by American aircraft to Venezuela's coastline since the Pentagon began a major buildup in the Caribbean several months ago, which has also seen over 20 deadly drone and aerial strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats.

The F/A-18s only increased their presence in the southern Caribbean region following the arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier group. US B-52 bombers have also been flying over the area, deploying from deep within the United States.

US Designates Venezuela's "Cartel Of The Suns" As Terrorists, But Its Existence Is Dubious
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Sunday that the State Department would be designating the so-called Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" - though many analysts and reporters have questioned whether the group actually exists.
"Based in Venezuela, the Cartel de los Soles is headed by Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking individuals of the illegitimate Maduro regime who have corrupted Venezuela's military, intelligence, legislature, and judiciary," the official US statement said. "Neither Maduro nor his cronies represent Venezuela's legitimate government."

Pentagon Briefs Trump On 'Military Options' Against Venezuela For 'Coming Days'
Probably this wasn't the first time, but there is widespread reporting on Thursday that military options have been formally presented to President Trump by top Pentagon officials for operations against Venezuela, including including strikes on land. Reports say these options are for the "coming days".
Meetings at the White House are being held now that the USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group arrived in Caribbean waters days ago. The largest-ever 'peacetime' American military build-up off Venezuela is currently underway, with some 15,000 US troops total in the region.
