No but I think we will be before January 2027, albeit not an official declaration since that hasn’t happened since WWII.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. Because The United States would obliterate Venezuela is any conflict. No matter what you decide to call it.

U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats kill 14 people in Pacific waters, defence secretary says

A series of strikes conducted by the U.S. military on boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean killed 14 people and left one survivor, U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday, alleging those on board were drug traffickers.

In a post on X, Hegseth said Mexican authorities took over the search-and-rescue operation for the lone survivor from the three strikes, which took place on Monday.

"The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics," Hegseth said, without providing any evidence.

Hegseth posted a roughly 30-second video, which appeared to show two vessels close together in the water before exploding. Another part of the video shows a vessel moving in the water, which then explodes.

After a series of strikes in the Caribbean beginning on Sept. 2, the U.S. government announced for the first time last week that its deadly operations had extended to Pacific waters.

Experts have questioned the legality of the strikes, which have killed at least 57 people. There has been no indication that other efforts were made to halt the shipments, and under normal circumstances, the U.S. Coast Guard is involved in drug interdiction.

This makes me happy. A drug running country only 163 miles from US territory, getting it's product blown out of the water & it's operators snuffed

This is bad, multiple countries, no proof or even claim of what we’re doing.

U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela in escalation against Maduro regime 

- Walks like a war, Trump quacks like it’s a war, it’s a war.

@squistion - amigo you might want to put something like ‘Venezuela’ something or other into the thread title because this is apparently getting ready to escalate. (TIa, your call of course).

The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel. The planned attacks, also reported by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime.<<
 

- Yes, we are. We have been for a while (when the War Powers Act is triggered, hint you’re at WAR), but at least since the Commander for the US Southern Fleet resigned.

- The operational security of this administration is predictably awful.

Yes I’m pretty sure he thinks war requires a declaration of war, and thus he also thinks we haven’t been in a war since WWII.  Of course I need to say “pretty sure” because as you mention he is just trolling and won’t actually provide an opinion.

I’d think if we hit land targets that counts as war.  But I’ve said I will defer to Polymarket’s definition.   Interesting that we announce this just after hitting some boats in the Pacific, sheep like you fell for the distraction to be able to claim “see, we’re not unfairly targeting Venezuela!”

Russia remains the primary lifeline for Maduro. On Sunday, an Ilyushin Il-76 — one of the Russian aircraft sanctioned in 2023 by the United States for participating in the arms trade and transporting mercenaries — arrived in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, after a circuitous route over Africa to avoid Western airspace, according to Flightradar24. The Kremlin declined to comment on the letter but on Friday evening, the Foreign Ministry said Moscow supports Venezuela “in defending its national sovereignty” and stands “ready to respond appropriately to the requests of our partners in light of emerging threats.”

 

Moscow also just ratified a new strategic treaty with Caracas.<<

Venezuela has requested assistance from Russia, China & Iran.

WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Friday denied he was considering strikes inside Venezuela, appearing to contradict his own comments from last week and amid intensifying expectations that Washington may soon expand drug-trafficking-related operations.
