Sen. Lindsey Graham says land strikes in Venezuela are a "real possibility"​

+ “President Trump told me yesterday that he plans to brief members of Congress, upon his return from Asia, on possible future military operations against Venezuela and Colombia,” Graham said in an interview on CBS's “Face The Nation.”
+ “There will be a briefing in Congress on the possible expansion from sea to land. I support that idea,” added the Republican senator, who is very close to the US president.
He has all the authority in the world. “This is not murder. This is protecting the United States from poisoning by narco-terrorists from Venezuela and Colombia," said the South Carolina senator.
Graham refuted criticism from Arizona Democratic Senator Rubén Gallego and responded: "The military is not killing anyone.
They are making the United States safer by pursuing a narco-terrorist. They are following legal orders," he said.

The Wagner Group, founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin in 2014, has set up shop in Venezuela, announcing that Russia will provide informational, logistical, and military support to Nicolás Maduro.

Following agreement between Venezuela and Russia, Wagner Group commandos begin arriving in Venezuela​

Following a cooperation and military alliance agreement between Nicolás Maduro's Venezuelan government and Vladimir Putin's Russian Federation, air and cargo contingents begin arriving in Caracas, Venezuela, with new Russian weaponry. Contingents of Russian mercenaries integrated with African and Arab elements.
The Wagner Group is an integral part of the Russian war in Ukraine. But the paramilitary unit is also active in other countries around the world. There, it is supposed to strengthen Russian influence.

The military, political, and economic importance of the Wagner Group has grown steadily in recent years. According to an analysis by the US think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Russia has increasingly used paramilitary units and private military companies such as the Wagner Group. It is not always possible to track their activities in concrete terms, but Wagner is said to be active in around 30 countries worldwide, including Syria and Mali.

Venezuela claims to have captured a mercenary group linked to the CIA​


On Sunday, the Venezuelan government claimed to have captured "a group of mercenaries with direct information" from the CIA and, based on this, asserted that a "false flag attack" is underway with the aim of sparking an open military conflict between Caracas and the United States.

"Venezuela reports that it has captured a mercenary group with direct information from the US intelligence agency, the CIA, and has determined that a false flag attack is underway from waters bordering Trinidad and Tobago, or from Trinidadian or Venezuelan territory itself, which will generate a full-scale military confrontation against our country," Caracas said in a statement released by the Ministry of Information.

In the text, the government headed by Nicolás Maduro compared this scenario to "the provocations of the Battleship Maine and the Gulf of Tonkin" in operations prior to the start of the Spanish-American War in Cuba and the Vietnam War.

Likewise, in the same piece, Caracas denounced as "military provocation by Trinidad and Tobago in coordination with the CIA" the military exercises with the United States announced on Friday and begun on Sunday, which involved the arrival in Port of Spain of the warship USS Gravely in parallel with the deployment of the largest US aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, justified as part of the fight against organizations dedicated to drug trafficking in Caribbean waters.

The Mexican Navy rescued a survivor from the U.S. military strikes on four alleged drug-smuggling boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which occurred in international waters on October 27, 2025. The strikes, announced by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on October 28, killed 14 people and left one survivor.
​

The Mexican Navy rescues a survivor of the alleged drug boats attacked by the United States in international waters.​

The sole survivor of the latest extrajudicial attack by the United States against four boats in the Eastern Pacific, 740 kilometers from Acapulco, has been rescued by the Mexican Navy Secretariat (SEMAR). US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reported on his Twitter account that 14 crew members were traveling aboard the alleged drug boats and were killed in the operation, whom the secretary accuses of belonging to "designated terrorist organizations." President Claudia Sheinbaum, who confirmed the rescue on Tuesday at a press conference, has asked SEMAR and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to address these operations in a working group with Washington. "We do not agree with these attacks, with how they are carried out," she stressed.

The president received news of the rescue during her cabinet meeting this morning. "It appears that there was one survivor, and the Navy, for humanitarian reasons and in accordance with international treaties, decided to rescue this person," she explained. However, she has requested that the situation be addressed within the framework of Mexico's security agreement with the United States. "It is important, and I made this point today to the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, that these issues be discussed at the table, because we want all international treaties to be complied with," added Sheinbaum, who rejects the United States' methods of carrying out these attacks without evidence and killing civilians.

Juan Ramón de la Fuente, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and Admiral Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles, head of the Navy Secretariat, will meet with the US ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, to discuss how to respond to these incidents, which are recurring in the Caribbean and, since last week, also in the Pacific. One of the latest incidents occurred off the coast of Colombia, killing five people, which escalated tensions between Washington and Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who described the attacks as murders that violate international law. "Today we suspended all payments to Colombia. Let [Petro] be careful or we will take very severe measures against him and his country," Trump responded forcefully.

"This note about cooperation from Mexican authorities is interesting, and shows that not all regional governments are against the heightened Pentagon action off their shores - or else they are simply too scared of the Trump administration to say 'no'.

Mexican government is against although, won't nor cannot do much to stop it. I guess since there is no aim for Trump to do a regime change in Mexico, it pases more smoothly.

From the article:
Unlike most of the some nine strikes recorded thus far, these fresh attacks were on the Pacific side of Latin America, and not directly off Venezuela's coast.

The attack was on the Pacific side of Mexico, not directly off Venezuela's... There are more kms to the border to Guatemala from Acapulco than the 740 km into international waters. But media and Hagseth won't say it. Some times they are so political correct 🤣.
 

Is Trump staging a soap opera?​

Political influencer Diego Ruzzarin (international speaker on futurism, design, and social psychology who has shared the stage with figures such as Gary Vaynerchuk) believes that the conflict in Venezuela is a psychological operation. Ruzzarin states:​

"I'm going to explain to you what is really happening: Trump is eager for the war in Ukraine to end because the US needs to stop spending money and sending weapons there. Its economy is collapsing (something similar was mentioned by geopolitician Alfredo Jalife, who hypothesizes that the US wants to keep the money from drug trafficking, which is laundered in American banks), and it has very serious problems with its productive capacity. It also has a huge dependence on oil"

"Trump is eager for the war in Ukraine to end, but Putin is not."

"There is no way Trump would want a war with Venezuela, which would have been an unprecedented international scandal. What is probably happening is psychological warfare to gauge Venezuela's response capacity and how the region would respond to a possible invasion. So I don't think this is going to be a de facto invasion. The United States would not give such advance warning to stage a coup, sending 4,500 troops by sea and land to invade a country with such a large territory that shares borders with Colombia and Brazil, which also have their problems with the United States. "

Alfredo Jalife also does not believe in a large-scale conflict. A war of invasion would likely result in the union of the region, with the exception of Bolivia and Argentina, which have placed themselves at the disposal of Washington's wishes. Jalife states:​

"The "war on drugs" in Colombia has generated enormous geopolitical dividends for the US for several decades, among which its invaluable military position in the only bi-oceanic country in South America stands out: Colombia, which borders Venezuela (the world's largest oil reserves), Brazil (the region's main geo-economic power), Peru (a mining power), Ecuador (an oil power and where Washington has established an important military base), and Panama (important for its canal). With the excuse of drug trafficking, the US has positioned itself militarily in the heart of South America.

"In our opinion, the last thing the United States wants is a solution to the Colombian conflict, which has lasted for almost four decades of guerrilla warfare, because it would then have no excuse for maintaining military surveillance of South America's two oceans and its strategic canal: drug trafficking provides the supreme justification for remaining there indefinitely."

"The world's leading consumer of narcotics, the US is a paradise for its extensive "invisible" network of white-collar criminal operators (who always turn out to be foreign outlaws, except for Americans, as if their binding connections were implausibly severed at their borders), and it shamelessly manipulates its omnipotent media and timid international organizations to deceive and falsify the sad reality of global drug trafficking in order to militarize certain types of countries that have been deliberately destabilized and whose chaos plays into its geopolitical plundering agenda."
