Putin Vs Trump Showdown Over US-Venezuela War: Kremlin ‘Warns’ US Amid Caribbean Military Buildup

Russia has reacted sharply to the United States’ growing military presence near ally Venezuela, warning Washington to respect international law. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that Venezuela is a sovereign nation and that any action involving it must comply with global legal norms. The warning follows the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group to the Caribbean and recent U.S. strikes on alleged “narco-boats” that killed 14 people. President Donald Trump claimed the attacks were part of a broader war on drugs, while Caracas condemned them as imperialist provocations aimed at regime change. Days earlier, President Vladimir Putin ratified a new Russia-Venezuela strategic cooperation treaty, with Nicolás Maduro calling Moscow “reborn from the ashes.” Tensions further escalated as Venezuela’s parliament declared Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar persona non grata, accusing her of granting CIA and U.S. military access to regional bases. The region now stands on edge, with Moscow signalling that any U.S. intervention in Venezuela will have serious consequences.

Satellite Images Show Impact Of Iran's Repeated Missile Strikes On US Military Base In Kuwait

Iran has carried out a sustained, multi-day assault on Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, the US military's primary airlift hub and gateway for combat power across the Middle East. Satellite imagery confirmed at least four impact sites across the base, with a massive smoke plume visible from space. A fuel depot in the east of the base was among the confirmed hits, responsible for the largest column of black smoke. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani confirmed significant damage at the base, which also hosts approximately 300 Italian service members. Kuwait reported waves of missiles and drones entering its airspace as late as Wednesday morning, confirming the assault was a sustained campaign, not a one-off strike.
