DETAILS
### 1. Command
$ npx news us-fleet-cuba-redeploy --debug-level high
### 2. Output
INFO: Operation "Maduro_Capture_2025" completed successfully. Former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has been apprehended.
INFO: Post-op fleet adjustments: USS Iwo Jima and USS San Antonio repositioned to Atlantic, north of Cuban coast.
DEBUG: Initial assessment suggests a shift from visible force projection to a more "less visible, equally strategic" posture. The plot thickens.
WARN: Analysts interpret this as an indirect but clear message to Cuba, historically allied with the now-defunct Maduro regime.
INFO: Capture details: Maduro intercepted by Delta Force, airlifted to the USS Iwo Jima, then transported to New York to face federal narcoterrorism charges.
DEBUG: Ah, the classic git push --force origin main on a nation-state. What could possibly go wrong?
INFO: Both vessels are amphibious assault units, equipped for deploying marines, aircraft, and heavy military gear. One may return to base, but remains under US Southern Command authority.
INFO: Overall US troop presence in the Caribbean reduced by "a few thousand", settling at approximately 12,000 personnel.
WARN: Despite the drawdown, the Trump administration is still evaluating potential ground troop deployment in Venezuela, primarily for "protection of oil infrastructure".
ERROR: Presidential claims of
"Venezuela completely surrounded by the largest Navy ever assembled in the history of South America"were flagged as
EXAGGERATION_FLAG_HIGH by experts. Multiple real tanker interceptions confirmed, however.DEBUG: The entire geopolitical region appears to be running on an unstable `beta` branch. Expect further unexpected feature releases.
