Trump deploys 10k troops & ‘Night Stalkers’ unit near Venezuela as Maduro readies for war

Donald Trump has deployed 10,000 US troops, nuclear-capable bombers, and America’s most elite special operations unit — the “Night Stalkers” — to the waters off Venezuela. The Caribbean is now bracing for its most explosive showdown in decades as dictator Nicolás Maduro whips his country into a war footing and vows to repel any US attack. In a dramatic escalation, three B-52 bombers — the same heavy bombers used in Iraq and Syria — flew for hours off Venezuela’s coast this week. Meanwhile, MH-6 Little Birds and MH-60 Black Hawks from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, known as the Night Stalkers, carried out low-level flights just 90 miles from Venezuelan territory. The storied unit, famed for the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, specialises in lighting-fast, low-altitude night missions and often carries Green Berets, Navy SEALs and Delta Force operators into battle. The US Navy now has eight warships and a nuclear submarine patrolling the Caribbean. Most of the American force is based in Puerto Rico, with about 2,200 Marines stationed on amphibious assault ships. The Pentagon has also deployed F-35B stealth fighters, P-8 Poseidon spy planes, and MQ-9 Reaper drones to the region. Visual analysis by The Washington Post shows that the elite helicopters were recently spotted over open water near oil and gas platforms off Trinidad’s northeast coast, bringing them within striking distance — less than 90 miles — of multiple points along Venezuela’s shoreline. US officials say the flights were training exercises designed to maintain readiness and “provide options” for Trump and the Pentagon, though they could also serve as preparation for expanded missions inside Venezuela.
