US military pressure on Venezuela has intensified, with approximately 15,000 US troops deployed in the Caribbean Sea and strikes on alleged drug boats. More than 80 alleged traffickers have been killed amid those operations, and Venezuelans are on edge due to the escalating presence.

The overlap of security rhetoric and strategic incentives increases the risk of miscalculation and direct confrontation between the two countries.
