“If the U.S. were to launch a larger offensive that included airstrikes on Venezuela or other countries that have been mentioned, such as Colombia or Cuba, it would want operating locations around the region,” said Jennifer Kavanagh, the director of military analysis at the Defense Priorities think tank.
“Constructing a network of locations would be important for the sustainability of any type of operation. So we can’t say for sure that these activities are directly targeting Venezuela, but I think it’s naive to suggest that they’re not somehow related,” she added.
