Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Is the United States at War with Venezuela? What are we doing in the Caribbean? With Guest, Admiral Joe Sestak The U.S. has a significant military presence in the Caribbean, including the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group, the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, other destroyers and a submarine. This buildup is part of Operation Southern Spear, designed to enhance security, detect and disrupt drug trafficking, and maintain a strong military posture in the Western Hemisphere. Why has President Trump commanded all these military assets to the Caribbean? Is the president planning to go to war with Venezuela? ADMIRAL JOE SESTAK and I will discuss these new developments at sea.
