President Donald Trump has refused to rule out military options in Venezuela as the administration ramps up pressure on the country's ruler, Nicolás Maduro.

WNU Editor: You will know the U.S. is serious about a military option on Venezuela when they deploy tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers to Colombia and surrounding countries. One or two aircraft carrier strike groups. A large number of Marines. A number of aircraft squadrons. And a diplomatic push among Latin American nations to get them involved in the planning of a military strike against the regime of Venezuelan President Maduro. But so far I do not see that. What I see is a note that says "5000 troops to Colombia".

One Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) would be sufficient to dissuade our adversaries if the VEN situation comes to that. Do a search and see if any LHD and Battle Group are doing any work-ups in the mid-Atlantic. One forgets that the US actually has 19 carrier battle groups. The 9 LHD/LHA CG's are potent - sometimes even more useful than the CVN's. Brazil and Colombia would assist on the ground. It'll be another happy coalition!
(that notepad stunt is a jab directly at US and Russian media)
