For Chavismo, the deployment of troops to the Caribbean is the answer to "stripping" Venezuela of their power.

For Chavismo, the use of the military in the Caribbean is in line with the plan to give energy wealth to the Venezuelans.
Venezuela has seized crude oil with Venezuela and denied it in a statement alongside US military teams visiting the "Caribbean Sea".This is about our wealth that belongs to the Venezuelan people.
According to US Attorney General Pam Bondi, the seized vessel was "used to transport embargoed oil from Venezuela and Iran" and was "involved in an illegal network that supports terrorist organizations," according to a Pentagon-backed investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and Coast Guard.
OFAC (U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions have forced Maduro's government to operate in the shadows to sell crude oil and maintain finances.Although this measure by Washington was taken in the context of increased activities against Venezuela, this is not the first time.
The blockade of the tanker is another step by Donald Trump in his strategy to pressure the Maduro regime.The United States has 20% of its military capabilities deployed in the Caribbean and has bombed more than twenty boats believed to be carrying drugs in operations that have killed more than 80 people.
The United States is also putting pressure on fighter jets against areas near Venezuelan territory.On Tuesday, two fighter jets entered airspace near the Gulf of Venezuela, west of the border.
For Chávez, since running for president, Donald Trump has revealed his intention to seize the oil-producing country's natural resources "without paying any compensation in return.""Policies that encroach on our nation are a response to a deliberate plan to deprive us of our energy wealth," they added in the statement.
In October, Transparency International's investigation at its local office revealed the existence of a network of vessels that help evade sanctions through various maneuvers such as changing flags and operating with hidden navigational information.According to the organization, nearly half of the 110 tankers found in September in Venezuelan ports had irregular status, showing a complex web of international sanctions evasion involving "disappearing" vessels, sanctioned companies and regulatory havens. At least 12 vessels have sanctions from OFAC, the United Kingdom or the European Union.
In a statement, Venezuela also assures that the attack on the oil tanker "tries to divert attention and hide the failure of the political demonstration in Oslo", referring to the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado, who managed to leave Venezuela with great difficulty and arrived in Europe on Wednesday night.
The leader's visit to Norway and his speech on behalf of Ana Corrado attracted the attention of the world."The pressure and the lack of results of those who tried for years, without success, to work in government were defeated, and it is revealed again in the Western government.
Not long ago, President Nicolás Maduro also attacked the Nobel Prize ceremony, specifically the presidents of Argentina and Panama, Javier Milay and José Mulino, two of the four South American leaders who attended an event in support of the Venezuelan opposition leaders. "Millais and the parasite Mulino had diarrhea when they saw the people marching in Oslo," Maduro said, referring to the protests in the Norwegian capital against the US military aggression.against Venezuela."Say no to meddling or destabilizing regime change plans. America has a lot of problems there, devote yourself to your country," he added.
