Trump Denies Report Suggesting US Deployed B-1 Bombers Near Venezuela
Despite Wall Street Journal reports, based on open-source flight tracking data, President Trump said that reports claiming the U.S. military deployed B-1 bombers near Venezuela to intensify military pressure on the South American nation were false.
Two U.S. B-1B Lancer bombers flew a Caribbean patrol today, entering Venezuela's ADIZ and nearing within 80 km of the coast, briefly switching off transponders in what appeared to be a strike simulation.

As Aldgra Fredly reports below for The Epoch Times, Trump was responding to a reporter's question on recent reports claiming that two B-1 Lancer bombers took off from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas on Oct. 23 and headed toward the coast of Venezuela.
The president denied that any such deployment had occurred.
“No, it's not accur...

Pair Of US Bombers Again Fly Close To Venezuela, Sparks Speculation Of Imminent Attack
It appears that the US Air Force has for the second time in under a week conducted a bomber flight very near to Venezuela's coast as a show of force.
It comes after days ago the US Southern Command confirmed what it called a "bomber attack demonstration mission" in skies over the southern Caribbean last week. Presumably this is what just happened again Thursday, according to open-source flight tracking data.
The Wall Street Journal has subsequently confirmed Thursday afternoon, "Two B-1 Lancers took off from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas on Thursday and flew near Venezuela, though they remained in international airspace, according to a U.S. official and flight tracking data."
The Pentagon has stressed that the aircraft remained in international airspace the whole time, before turning around - based on flight trackers.
Given this comes amid an unprecedented military build-up in the Ca...

Rand Paul Again Slams Trump Over Strikes: 'If We Don't Blow Up Boats Off Miami, Why Do It Off Venezuela?'
Senator Rand Paul has again slammed President Donald Trump over his military operations off Venezuela, which has killed 27 people after at least half a dozen alleged drug smuggling boats have been blown out of the water by US drones.
Paul spoke with British journalist Piers Morgan this week and argued that any armed conflict should be approved by Congress. The Republican and libertarian-leaning Senator further questioned the administration's claim that the strikes aim to thwart the fentanyl trade in particular.
Rand Paul argues against the indiscriminate targeting of boats off the coast of Venezuela:

UN Condemns Trump's 'Extrajudicial Executions, Covert Action' Against Venezuela
A United Nations panel on Tuesday condemned the Trump-ordered military build-up in the south Caribbean as well as what it called covert action which threatens the South American country's sovereignty. It did this while invoking past 20th century history of CIA interventions in the region.
"These actions also violate the fundamental international obligations not to intervene in the domestic affairs or threaten to use armed force against another country," the UN panel of independent rights experts said.

President Trump has repeatedly stated the aim is choke the flow of drugs from Latin America to the United States - but has also framed it as a war on 'terrorism' as well as mass migration of criminal elements.
"These moves are an extremely dangerous escalation with grave implications for peace and security in the Caribbean region," the rights experts continued.
The panel then went...

US Masses 10,000 Troops Near Venezuela, A Top Admiral Resigns
Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com,
Are we going to invade? “We are certainly looking at land now,” said Trump.
Head of the U.S. Military's Southern Command Resigns
The New York Times reports Head of the U.S. Military's Southern Command Is Stepping Down
The officer, Adm. Alvin Holsey, is leaving his job as head of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees all operations in Central and South America, even as the Pentagon has rapidly built up some 10,000 forces in the region in what it says is a major counterdrug and counterterrorism mission.
It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is suddenly departing, less than a year into what is typically a three-year job, and in the midst of the biggest operation in his 37-year career. But one current and one former U.S. official, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters, said that Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks ...
