‘Part of a larger puzzle’: Former Secretary of State reveals what Trump’s Caribbean military buildup is really about

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has just revealed the real plan behind the huge U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean. He confirmed that the action is mainly focused on putting strong pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. This news comes as the top U.S. general visits troops in Puerto Rico on Monday, showing how serious the situation is.

This operation is called Operation Southern Spear, and the White House has not officially commented on it yet. You need to understand how big this is: it’s the largest military operation the region has seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis. We’re talking about a serious gathering of military power, including bombers, Marines, and warships, all coming together near Venezuela.
