Earlier on Thursday, #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth said the admiral who leads #USSouthCom will step down at the end of this year, 2 years ahead of schedule, in a surprise move.
The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Jack Reed, called Admiral Alvin Holsey's unexpected resignation troubling given mounting fears of a potential US confrontation with #Venezuela.

Instead, the #Pentagon said a task force ‘was being created that would be led by II Marine Expeditionary Force, a unit capable of rapid overseas operations that is based at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
That decision came as a surprise to #US #military watchers, since a combatant command like Southern Command would normally lead any high-profile operations.

…In a letter to the #UnitedNations' 15-member #SecurityCouncil, seen by Reuters, #Venezuela's UN Ambassador Samuel Moncada asked for a #UN determination that the #US strikes off its coast are #illegal & to issue a statement backing Venezuela's #sovereignty.
Less than a week ago, the #Pentagon announced its counter-narcotics operations in the region would not be led by the Miami-based Southern Command, which oversees US military activities in #LatinAmerica.

…It was not clear Thursday who would replace Admiral Holsey, who just this week visited the islands of #Antigua & #Barbuda as well as #Grenada.
News of the admiral’s departure comes a day after it was reported that the #Trump admin had secretly authorized the #CIA to conduct covert action in #Venezuela.
Trump acknowledged Wednesday that he had authorized the covert action & said the US was considering strikes on Venezuelan territory.

…Admiral Holsey, who is #Black, becomes only the latest in a line of more than a dozen #military leaders, many of them people of color &/or #women, who have left their jobs this year. Most have been fired by #Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth or pushed out.

It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is leaving now, less than a year into his tenure, & in the midst of the biggest operation in his 37-year career.
…Since early Sept, #US Special Ops forces have struck at least 5 boats off the coast of #Venezuela that the #Trump admin claims were transporting drugs, killing 27 people. US officials have privately made it clear that the main goal is to drive Nicolás #Maduro, #Venezuela’s #authoritarian leader, from #power.

The #military commander overseeing the Pentagon’s escalating attacks against boats in the #Caribbean Sea that the #Trump admin says are smuggling drugs is stepping down, 2 #US officials said Thursday.
The officer, Adm. Alvin Holsey, is leaving his job as head of the #USSouthCom, which oversees all operations in Central & South America, even as the #Pentagon has rapidly built up some 10,000 forces in the region in what it says is a major counterdrug & counterterrorism mission.

Buen día, miserables.
Aparentemente el payaso asesino decidió no hacer su vuelo en un F-16 porque su gente le dice que estamos en riesgo de un tercer atentado a entidades israelitas, como los de 1992 y 1994.
¿A quién le falló el gobierno nacional esta vez?
En cualquier caso, les dejo una comparación de fotos del presidente de aquellos años, que era un absoluto delincuente como éste pero a la gente la tenía fascinada con su estilo y su desfachatez, con el que votaron los catorce y medio millones de cretinos. (Fuente.)
