Trump Deploys Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment ‘Night Stalkers’ to the Caribbean for the Siege of Venezuela
Military and intelligence assets deployed for the War on Cartels.
Along with the largest military detachment to Latin America since the darkest days of the Cold War, it arises now that US President Donald J. Trump has deployed the ‘Night Stalkers’, one of the Army’s most secretive regiments, to the theater of operations.
Absolutely incredible…

The US has struck five alleged Venezuelan ‘narco-boats’ over the last two months.
While Maduro claims a million-strong militia, military experts say his army is just 125,000 strong with obsolete equipment.
Daily Mail reported:
“Trump has deployed B-52 nuclear bombers, guided missile destroyers, F-35B fighter jets, P-8 Poseidon spy planes, a nuclear submarine and around 6,500 troops. Included in that group is the Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, known as the ‘Night Stalkers.’
The elite aviation unit provides precision air support for special operations forces including the Green Berets, the Navy SEALs and Delta Force.”
The Night Stalkers have been deployed in counter-terrorism operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, in recent years.
“The Night Stalkers, so-called for their capability to strike undetected during the hours of darkness, represent US special operations’ aviation backbone bringing stealth and precision. […] They employ highly modified Chinook, Black Hawk and assault and attack configurations of Little Bird helicopters.”
Yesterday (17), the US military on Friday announced it is holding two survivors aboard a Navy ship after pulling them out of a suspected drug boat that was targeted by a strike.
The drug vessel was moving underwater, as Trump explained during his Friday cabinet meeting with Zelensky.
