U.S. preparing options for military strikes on drug targets inside Venezuela, sources say

President Donald Trump has not approved any action yet, and the U.S. and Venezuela are talking through Middle Eastern intermediaries, sources told NBC News.

WASHINGTON — U.S. military officials are drawing up options to target drug traffickers inside Venezuela, and strikes within that country’s borders could potentially begin in a matter of weeks, four sources told NBC News.

Those sources are two U.S. officials familiar with the planning and two other sources familiar with the discussions. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans publicly.

As noted a few days ago, the US would not want to start a major op in Venezuela until late/after the hurricane season. The invasion of Grenada was October 25, late in hurricane season. The invasion of Panama was in December, after the end of hurricane season.

As his nibs has said Maduro is the head of a drug cartel, that would mean that leveling the Miraflores Palace, when he was inside, would be a "strike on drug traffickers"
