US Southern Command said Joint Task Force Southern Spear carried out a strike on Nov. 15 against a vessel it described as being operated by a โ€œDesignated Terrorist Organization.โ€ According to the statement, US intelligence alleges the vessel was involved in โ€œnarcotics smuggling.โ€ Three men aboard were killed.

The Trump administration has not provided any public evidence of the presence of narcotics on board these boats or their affiliation with drug cartels.

๐Ÿ“„ US plans to designate 'Cartel de los Soles' as terrorist organization โ€” State Dept

The US State Department announced it intends to classify Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization on November 24. In his statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the group as being โ€œheaded by Nicolรกs Maduroโ€ and accused it of cooperation with other designated organizations, as well as drug trafficking โ€œinto the United States and Europe.โ€

๐Ÿ” However, there is significant dispute over the very existence of such a cartel.

โŒ According to The Guardian, multiple experts on Venezuelan organized crime doubt that Cartel de los Soles exists as a coordinated organization, noting there is โ€œno serious evidenceโ€ for it.

The State Department has not publicly provided evidence supporting the designation.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ Ecuador rejects return of foreign military bases โ€” referendum results

Ecuadorians have voted against allowing foreign military bases in the country, according to preliminary results reported by Reuters, with nearly two-thirds opposing the measure as almost 90% of ballots were counted.

The proposal โ€” backed by President Daniel Noboa as part of his security strategy โ€” would have opened the door to shared or foreign military facilities inside Ecuador, which has prohibited foreign bases since 2009.

๐Ÿ›ก Some voters voiced concerns over sovereignty, Reuters noted.

President Noboa said he โ€œrespected votersโ€™ willโ€ and would continue working to improve the country. Former President Rafael Correa welcomed the result, saying Ecuadorians had effectively reaffirmed the current constitution.

โŒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ A โ€˜noโ€™ vote, Ecuadorean authorities previously told Reuters, would not change existing security cooperation agreements โ€” but it does mean no return of foreign bases such as the former US presence in Manta.

๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US potential invasion of Venezuela could become โ€˜NEW VIETNAMโ€™

Although a scenario of the US invading Venezuela is possible, itโ€™s โ€œhighly doubtfulโ€ that America would be able to gain a foothold there, Brazilian analyst and retired Navy officer Robinson Farinazzo told Sputnik.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Farinazzo suggested that the scenario could turn into a โ€œnew Vietnamโ€ for the US, referring to the 1955โ€“1975 Vietnam War.

Explaining his position, the analyst noted that Venezuela is a large country with a population of many millions, a sizable militia and a well-armed regular army.

The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group earlier arrived in the Caribbean Sea amid the USโ€™ rising tensions with Venezuela.
