USS Gerald Ford leaves Caribbean

United States plans to maintain deployment of military assets on Caribbean Sea for next three years, until at least November 2028. Confirmation of this planning for remainder of Trump administration comes from spreadsheets: for procurement of baked goods and other prepared meals for troops. While 20% of United States military assets are currently deployed in Caribbean, that percentage could either increase, stay, or decrease: depending on progress made by dialogue. In the meantime, Russian ships have been spotted near Venezuela coast, suggesting preparations for potential conflict.

There are signs that dialogue could be prevailing, while lies of María Corina Machado are being known to public opinion of United States. New York Times has published a report that Nobel Peace Prize has been feeding Donald Trump with lies: on a non-existent Venezuelan plot to interfere with United States elections of 2020. It is absolutely refreshing to see a big chunk of United States population repudiating how Nobel Prize of war is engaging United States military: to fight for a war so that she can become an instant dictator. This looks unlikely to happen as United States ship Gerald Ford, which has been a topic of most anxiety for warmongers, has left Caribbean Sea and has returned into western Atlantic Ocean waters, north of Puerto Rico on its way back to Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia, United States on time before Christmas Eve.

Soldiers are reported to have requested festivities along with their families, as they were in prior deployments in Middle East and Adriatic Sea before coming to Caribbean Sea for only eight days. It looks like Donald Trump was never eager to maintain USS Gerald Ford within Caribbean waters for too long. We recall that ship was actually stopped near Morocco during almost a week. Then it quickly entered North Caribbean Sea for a few days and has already left. News of returning USS Gerald Ford back to United States, without having initiated a war against Venezuela, has become terrible news for warmongers who actually pressured Diario Las América's online newspaper to remove coverage from such news. Website link was only available during a few hours and it was removed.

Many other media were able to extract information contained. It has become common knowledge that aircraft carrier will no longer be used for Caribbean operations, as it departs into Norfolk through North Atlantic waters. During last few days, we have also noticed some destroyers leaving Caribbean. Perhaps these are necessary preparations for dialogue. Communications between governments of United States and Venezuela continue as usual, regardless of bureaucratic designation of Venezuela as a terrorist cartel organization. Eastern Airlines flights arrive twice a week: with plenty of repatriated deportees out of United States and into Venezuela.

Illegal migration and overextension of Treaty of Protection Status is not tolerated by Donald Trump administration. Offenders transgressing immigration law of United States are welcome back into Venezuela. Besides increasing frequency of deportation flights, Venezuela would be happy to discuss with United States a comprehensive peace and security agreement on Caribbean, which would entail joint patrolling of Chinese, Iranian, Russian and United States military assets. All affforementioned countries, along with nations bathed by Caribbean waters deserve a common strategy for peace. Bilateral military arrangements of Caribbean nations and external powers will need to be rearranged into a comprehensive global balance of power negotiation, for Caribbean security, as no single country can offer full security to a Caribbean containing so many diverse countries, populations, and governments.

Petroleum deals to be discussed between governments of Venezuela and United States must also be carefully crafted: as interests of patrolling companies of Russia, Vietnam, India, China, Iran and other allies operating in Venezuela cannot suddenly be provided less favorable terms, in order to accommodate any special interest requested at last minute by United States. Indeed United States believes it is playing tough, while it is actually losing support from a lot of constituents: both inside and outside that country.

United States election meddling in Honduras has become absolutely chaotic. President Trump is threatening Hondurans to vote for a Trump puppet in Honduras elections, rather than exert their sovereignty in favor of a patriotic candidate. This strategy worked out in Argentina, but did not work out in New York City. It remains to be seen over election weekend if Honduras voters remain caught with fear of Donald Trump, or if they choose their free will regardless of imperial threats.

Removal of USS Gerald Ford out of Caribbean into North Atlantic Ocean remains as a pivot point. It is not clear that United States would replace it with another aircraft carrier. It must be reminded that weapons from China, Iran, and Russia combined have capability of sinking a clumsy aircraft carrier, especially given presence of modern Russian navy, patrolling Venezuelan coast along with Venezuelan units. There is also issue a $13 billion cost that United States would spend on its regime change attempt operations, during the next four years. Approximately $7 million a day are being spent on deployment of USS Gerald Ford alone. Additional funds are spent daily on remaining Caribbean operations. If we assume a similar amount of United States war equipment, assuming no escalation, United States taxpayers will spend an increasing $20 billion allocation: on an unpopular Venezuela war repudiated by a vast majority of both United States and Venezuelan citizens.

Warmongers on social media are in utter despair. They were placing all their hopes for regime change on presence of USS Gerald Ford in Caribbean. Mere mention of it having departed Caribbean sea, entering western Atlantic waters, has provided despair, grief, anger, and negation. An exact 1,870 days are still left for presidency of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, which should exceed allocated time of United States Caribbean military operations. There is plenty of time so that presidents Trump and Maduro carefully craft a dialogue agenda, where all bilateral issues can be debated.

Venezuelan domestic issues such as frequency and timing of local elections, or domestic United States issues such as Epstein files are not in agenda for bilateral negotiation. Venezuela will request reciprocity in Caribbean defense, meaning that Venezuela's allies are encouraged to patrol Caribbean with as much frequency as United States is doing. If United States chooses to escalate and provide more troops and ships into Caribbean, Venezuela along with its allies also has right to escalate in defense of our sovereignty. If United States however chooses prudence, and continues withdrawing assets as it seems it might be doing now, by removal of aircraft carrier out of Caribbean into western Atlantic, Venezuela would stabilize its defense spending. We must ensure that all major powers have a presence in Caribbean security on a mutual deterrence basis.

It will also be crucial for Venezuela to protect our domestic waters near offshore gas fields, as United States military presence in Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana is very close to Venezuelan sovereign maritime territory: which holds significant gas reserves of Plataforma Deltana and Gran Mariscal Sucre, north of Paria Peninsula Caribbean basin. Venezuela is likely to require heightened permanent military Venezuelan protection: so that our petroleum and gas explorations can be conducted in a safe manner, away from predatory practices threatened by either Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago or United States.

Another topic of dialogue that Venezuela will insist upon will be removal of sanctions: which are unilateral coercive measures imposed by United States to petroleum producing countries such as Iran, Russia or Venezuela. International trade is unfair as Russia, Iran and Venezuela are not provided free access to mainstream western international financial system, which requires us to move forward into a new BRICS payment system, which to this date has not materialized. Venezuela remains entrenched into United States dollar dictatorship. Countries around the world are encouraged to defend and freely trade their currencies, in support of an international payments system that is not dependent on any currency in particular. While collaterals such as gold or petroleum reserves are increasingly regarded as a safer store of value than volatile fiat paper currency issued by a debt loving United States.

Domestic issues from United States remain tragic. Two army soldiers from West Virginia were killed in Washington, District of Columbia next to White House. While Donald Trump is vacationing in Florida for Thanksgiving. Venezuelan streets remain absolutely calm. Venezuelan population remains peaceful. National unity is observed on a population that only wishes to enjoy life and pursue activities conducive to economic growth. Opposition leader of Venezuela, Henrique Capriles, has complained that warmongers have been extreme in their call for United States invasion against our own country: they emphasize theatrical overrepresentations of domestic problems. Such narrative is meant to convince uninformed United States citizens that war against Venezuela is desirable, however that is backfiring.

It is important that populations of United States and Venezuela continue interacting on social media, and learning about each other. Increased contact of United States citizens in United States, and Venezuelan citizens within Venezuela can counteract biased propaganda installed by Venezuelan diaspora in South Florida which intends to provoke a fascist shift into world politics. We shall continue monitoring amount of firepower deployed from United States into Caribbean Sea during next three years, ensuring that Venezuela is always capable of matching such military presence with help of our allies: China, India, and Russia, until United States realizes that any attack on either China, Russia, Iran, or Venezuela will entail a coordinated allied global response from our alliance. We definitely seek to transcend prior unipolarity in favor of a more just, multipolar world.
