As the year concludes, the Trump administration has been criticized for releasing videos depicting U.S. military operations targeting alleged narco-traffickers at sea. These actions have prompted legal and ethical questions regarding their legitimacy and the implications for U.S. foreign policy.

There are growing concerns that these military operations could escalate into a broader conflict with Venezuela, a country rich in oil reserves. Such a scenario raises significant humanitarian and geopolitical implications, particularly regarding the potential for military occupation and the impact on Venezuelan civilians.

The situation highlights the intersection of military action and corporate interests, particularly in relation to oil, and underscores the need for a critical examination of U.S. military engagements abroad.
