Former Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis assigned a 70% chance of the U.S. conducting land strikes in Venezuela as the Trump administration continues to ramp up pressure on the Maduro regime.

Speaking to CNN, Stavridis said the only "limiting factor at this point from a military perspective" is the fact that the "carrier USS Ford is not yet on station." "It will take them maybe 7 days to get on station. Then all the pieces are in place. The Pentagon will say the table is set for strikes. I think at that point President Trump has a big decision to make," the former admiral added.
