The United States is considering the possibility of land operations in Venezuela, following a series of actions at sea and in the air aimed at curbing alleged drug and oil smuggling. U.S. forces have recently seized a Venezuelan oil tanker and targeted vessels accused of transporting illegal drugs to the United States, with Washington blaming President Nicolas Maduro and his associates for these activities.

President Maduro has denied all allegations, calling them baseless and rejecting foreign pressure. Meanwhile, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, speaking after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, stated that Maduro's regime is nearing its end. With U.S. naval deployments in the Caribbean and Venezuelan military drills underway, the risk of direct conflict appears to be increasing.

Washington estudia el asalto terrestre a Venezuela

Una guerra de palabras que lleva a una escalada en el aire, en el mar, y ahora, potencialmente, en tierra. Mi tierra es mucho más fácil, y eso va a empezar a suceder. Y no vamos a tener gente destruyendo nuestra juventud, destruyendo nuestras familias, pensando sobre la juventud, todo el mundo. Pero no se trata sólo de ataques terrestres en Venezuela. Son ataques terrestres a gente horrible que está trayendo drogas y matando a nuestra gente. En los últimos meses, los Estados Unidos han llevado a cabo ataques contra docenas de buques que, según dice, trafican con drogas ilegales desde Venezuela hacia las costas estadounidenses. Y el miércoles, las fuerzas de EE.UU. incautaron un petrolero venezolano, alegando que el buque y su tripulación... estaban involucrados en el transporte ilícito de petróleo. Ya se trate de narcóticos o de petróleo, Washington culpa a Nicolás Maduro, diciendo que él y sus asociados se están beneficiando a través de canales ilegales. El presidente venezolano niega cualquier implicación y afirma que las acusaciones carecen de fundamento. Nuestra rebeldía histórica, la fusión profunda de esa rebeldía que algunos en el mundo todavía no entienden, porque somos lo que somos, y porque su fórmula de mentiras, presión, chantaje y amenazas, no funciona con nosotros. No funciona y nunca funcionará. Una persona que dice que los días de Maduro están contados es la líder de la oposición María Corina Machado. Ella habló con los medios de comunicación en Oslo, donde recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz de este año. Lo que puedo decirles es que el régimen de Maduro está en sus últimos días. Llegará a su fin con o sin negociaciones. A Maduro le conviene que sea a través de negociaciones. En este momento, debe tenerlo muy claro. Y probablemente haya actores que no quieran o no le dejen hacerlo. Con Estados Unidos desplegando fuerzas navales en todo el Mar Caribe y Venezuela llevando a cabo simulacros militares, ambos países parecen dirigirse cada vez más hacia el conflicto.
