Trump Deploys F-35s To Puerto Rico Airfield After Pair Of Venezuelan Jets Buzz US Warship
Trump Deploys F-35s To Puerto Rico Airfield After Pair Of Venezuelan Jets Buzz US Warship
The Pentagon has warned Venezuela after two of its miliary aircraft buzzed a United States Navy ship in international waters, as an apparent show of force after a US naval build-up in the region.
The pair of warplanes, identified in various media as F-16 jets, flew over over the guided-missile destroyer Jason Dunham in the southern Caribbean Sea on Thursday, and while the US ship did not engage the aircraft, a subsequent Department of Defense statement called it "highly provocative" and "an attempt to interfere with our counter-narco-terror operations."
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
"Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters," the Pentagon said in a post on X. "The cartel running Venezuela is strongly advised not to pursue any further effort to obstruct, deter or interfere with counter-narcotics and counter-terror operations carried out by the US military," the Pentagon said.
This was clearly President Maduro's response to Tuesday's US strike on an alleged drug trafficking speedboat in the same waters and general posture of saber-rattling. President Trump says the blown-up boat belonged to a criminal organization tied to Maduro, and the rare military action resulted in the deaths of eleven people.
However, some international monitors have noted that if those slain were civilians, this amounts to an extra-judicial killing, also given there was no apparent attempt to intercept the vessel or arrest those aboard. This is likely what's behind the sudden frequent use of the term 'narco-terrorists' by the US administration.
The sudden terror pretext and label makes it easier to justify direct military action in front of the American people, who have become generally wary of the potential for new, unnecessary wars and foreign adventurism abroad - even if in Latin America.
Maduro has ordered a heightened defense posture due to the US sending some eight naval ships, with Venezuela’s Noticias Venevision news outlet quoting him as saying it is the "first time in history that the communal units of the militia will be activated, spanning the national map from north to south, from east to west, down to the last community."
Are they gonna use this as a pretext to bomb Venezuela? t.co/xFWtcOIzBz
— Dave DeCamp (@DecampDave) twitter.com/DecampDave/status/…
But the White House is answering further by deploying even more assets near Venezuela in the dangerous environment of rising tit-for-tat tensions.
President Trump has newsweek.com/trump-deploys-f-3…
ten F-35 fighter jets to be deployed to Puerto Rico, the American territory and Caribbean archipelago, in what's becoming (or rather, being sold to the public) an all-out Pentagon war on drug cartels. Reports say the advanced aircraft will be in position by week's end. They will join the at least eight warships and one nuclear-powered fast attack submarine to the eastern Caribbean, which are also there.
Just ahead of this new jet deployment, Trump warned after hitting the drug boat, "Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America."
What's really going on here? One trend being reflected, as we've long previewed, is that President Trump's worldview is for greater coordination of national and hemispheric defense across the Americas, hence the push for stronger economic integration between the United States and Canada, coupled with a hardened defense perimeter stretching from the Arctic to the Panama Canal. Monroe Doctrine on steroids?
But this surge in major defense assets off Venezuela's coast could also more likely be about renewing regime change efforts targeting Caracas, after some apparent failed zerohedge.com/geopolitical/wha…
on American streets), given it had been on for past many decades, and deploying warships and stealth jets is hardly the right tool set for something the DEA and Coast Guard have conventionally done.
They are lying about Venezuela because they want regime change and to strip the country's natural resources. It's really not that complicated. They lie. About everything. t.co/iU4jSLRhuR
— Daniel McAdams (@DanielLMcAdams) twitter.com/DanielLMcAdams/sta…
There's also the question of to what degree one takes seriously the US administration's claims concerning Maduro and his socialist country's role in shipping dangerous substances into the United States. Why not a force concentration against the Mexican drug cartels instead - or at least in parallel? Of course, Mexico is not home to the world's largest known reserves of oil, as Venezuela is, and consideration of what's really going on can't happen without that key fact front and center.

Cronos: The New Dawn just hit Steam today—and it’s already staking a claim as one of the most distinctive survival horror releases in years.
The setting is bleak. A ruined Eastern Europe scarred by The Change—a cataclysm that warped humanity beyond recognition. You play as a Traveler for the Collective, hunting down rifts that spit you into 1980s Poland. The architecture is concrete brutalism, the tech is rusted retro-future, and every corner hides something waiting to kill you. To get anywhere, you manipulate temporal anomalies: rewind a bridge, restore a tram line, or even reassemble shattered geometry.
But here’s the hook. Enemies don’t stay dead. If you drop a creature and walk away, others can absorb the body through a process called Merging. Suddenly, that shambling beast is faster, stronger, meaner. The only way to stop it? Burn the corpse. Ammo is scarce, supplies are limited, and every mistake makes the next fight worse. It’s the kind of mechanic that twists your stomach before you even enter a room.
Visually, this is top shelf. Unreal Engine 5 with hardware Lumen ray tracing, DLSS 4, and HDR. Textures are razor-sharp, environments drip with atmosphere, and even the fog feels alive. Recommended specs are heavy—RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT—but somehow this is Steam Deck Verified. Linux gets a native build, too. Sorry Mac users—you’re out.
Audio is equally strong. Ambient soundscapes make ruined Kraków hum with dread. Voice acting sells both timelines, and you’ll want headphones just to soak in the detail. Controls work with keyboard and mouse, but Bloober recommends a pad. Thankfully, both Xbox and PlayStation controllers plug in without fuss.
Now the studio itself. Bloober Team was once a AA outfit—the Layers of Fear people. Then they shipped last year’s Silent Hill 2 remake, and suddenly they’re in the big leagues. Cronos is their most ambitious game yet. With about 250 staff, I wouldn’t call this a “AAA” monster. It’s closer to a “III” game—the same niche Hellblade carved, polished but still indie-rooted.
And the reception? Steam users are on board. At launch, it’s holding 84% positive on over 670 reviews. Critics are mixed-to-favorable—praise for the atmosphere and puzzle design, gripes about stingy resources and checkpoint traps.
Price point: C$76.99 standard, C$89.99 deluxe if you want the art book and soundtrack. Call it premium indie or baby-AAA—but it’s priced like a blockbuster.
Bottom line: if you want survival horror that genuinely adds something new—time-rift puzzles, corpse burning, and GPU-melting visuals—Cronos: The New Dawn may be worth the ticket. Just don’t expect to walk away unscathed.

The image features a young man with curly, dark hair and striking blue eyes. He is wearing a rugged, earth-toned garment with a black scarf draped over his shoulders. The background is a blurred, sandy color, suggesting a desert-like environment. The man's expression is serious and contemplative, with a small black object, possibly a nose ring, visible on his nose. The overall tone of the image is somber and evocative, with a focus on the man's intense gaze and the textures of his clothing and hair.
