Did US Land Strikes On Venezuela Begin Last Week & No One Knew It?

During a radio interview, President Trump revealed that US forces had struck a "big facility" on the Latin American coast, a detail previously unreported. He stated it was knocked out two nights prior, possibly referencing a drug facility related to the Venezuela campaign. Trump implied the strike saved lives and highlighted a decrease in drug trafficking, though he didn't specify the exact location or country. American officials suggested the target was in Venezuela, though this was unconfirmed. The President's comment is the only public acknowledgment of such an attack. Neither the CIA nor the Pentagon has commented, and no other government has confirmed the strike. The author speculates the strike may be indicative of a slow-burn strategy. This raises questions about the US military presence in the Caribbean. A reported explosion in Venezuela's Zulia state, near the coast, has been linked by some analysts with the timing of the strike. This suggests a shift away from a major, rapid military operation.
