突发！特朗普下令：发动袭击！

Core Viewpoint - The recent military actions by the U.S. against alleged drug trafficking vessels in the Eastern Pacific are perceived as a strategic move to exert pressure on the Venezuelan government rather than solely a campaign against drug trafficking [1][4][6]. Summary by Sections Military Actions - On November 9, the U.S. military sank two vessels suspected of drug trafficking, resulting in six deaths. This operation was conducted under the directive of President Trump [3][4]. - Since September 2, U.S. military actions in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific have reportedly resulted in at least 75 deaths [3]. International Reactions - The United Nations has criticized the U.S. actions, stating they may violate international humanitarian law, as the individuals on the attacked vessels did not pose an immediate threat [3][5]. - French President Macron emphasized the importance of respecting national sovereignty while addressing drug trafficking, implicitly criticizing U.S. military actions [5]. Strategic Implications - Analysts suggest that the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean is not just about combating drug trafficking but is aimed at destabilizing the Venezuelan regime [4][6]. - The U.S. has deployed its largest military presence in the region in over 30 years, indicating a significant escalation in military strategy [4]. Historical Context - The current U.S. approach towards Venezuela is seen as a continuation of the Monroe Doctrine, reflecting a long-standing U.S. policy of intervention in Latin America [6].
