The transportation of US Special Forces to Puerto Rico and deployment of the US military in Colombia are indications that the Pentagon is preparing to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said on Tuesday.
“Showing sarcasm and arrogance toward the Venezuelan people, the United States is preparing a military invasion of an independent state. The transfer of US special operations forces to the territory of Puerto Rico, the landing of US armed forces units in Colombia and other facts clearly indicate that the Pentagon is strengthening the troops in the region in order to involve them in an operation to remove the legally elected incumbent President Maduro from power,” Patrushev said in an interview with the Russian Argumenty i Fakty newspaper.
