US Military Surrounding Venezuela With New Deployment In Guyana<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The US military has effectively<\/a> surrounded Venezuela,<\/strong> ahead of a possible military intervention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve reported in the past that the Pentagon is jointly working with Colombia, Brazil and other regional partners on how to crush Venezuela’s economy so that President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro would step down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there’s a new report that the US military has been deployed to the impoverished South American nation of Guyana, the first time in a decade.<\/strong> The country is located on South America’s North Atlantic coast and borders Venezuela to the West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four-month-long deployment, led by the US Air Force, is called\u00a0New Horizons humanitarian outreach<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 is intended to serve as “a stepping-stone toward a prolonged relationship” with the Guyana military forces,\u00a0reported Military.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening Partnerships: @USAirForce<\/a> #Airmen<\/a> & @ForceGuyana<\/a> members build a community center during #NewHorizons19<\/a> in #Guyana<\/a>. The 3-month exercise trains U.S. military civil engineers & medical personnel as they provide care & services to local communities. #EnduringPromise<\/a><\/a>89<\/a>11:34 AM – Jun 13, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Air Force hopes relationships with the country can firmly develop amid the increasing influence of Russia and China in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Guyana is going to become a larger player in this region, both economically and politically in the future, <\/strong>so it’s important that we are closely tied with them,” said 12th Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Andrew Croft in an interview.<\/p>

“What we leave is an enduring, physical presence in addition to the partnerships that we build,” Croft boasted, citing medical facilities and schools built in 1997 that are still being used today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The latest deployment is about 600 US military service members. Their purpose, as per Military.com, will be to construct community centers and a women’s shelter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
