US Military Plans to Maintain Troops in Caribbean Through 2028, Leaked Documents Show
The United States has been steadily increasing its military presence in the Caribbean since this summer. According to leaked documents, the Pentagon plans to keep a significant number of troops stationed in the region until at least 2028.
The move is part of a broader strategy aimed at countering growing instability in the Caribbean, particularly with regards to narco-trafficking and the influence of Venezuela. US officials have stated that this increased military presence will help secure American interests in the region, while also protecting the homeland from narco-terrorists and drug smugglers.
The scale of the operation is significant. According to one leaked document, tens of thousands of pounds of baked goods are scheduled for delivery to US troops stationed in Puerto Rico over a period of several years, including honey buns, vanilla cupcakes, sweet rolls, hamburger rolls, and flour tortillas. The total cost of these supplies will be substantial, with estimates suggesting an increase of 450 percent from the original request.
The source of these plans is not entirely clear, but analysts believe they may be linked to an ongoing campaign in the Caribbean known as Operation Southern Spear. This mission aims to defend the homeland, remove narco-terrorists, and secure against drugs that are killing people. It involves small robot interceptor boats and vertical take-off drones for counternarcotics operations.
President Trump has also publicly stated his support for this operation, suggesting it could eventually involve an invasion of Venezuela by US troops. White House officials have not commented on whether such a plan is being considered, but sources suggest that it may be part of the ongoing debate about how to address growing instability in the region.
Critics argue that these military operations will have negative consequences for democracy and human rights in the Caribbean, particularly given the long history of US intervention in the region. They also note that the use of force as a response to narco-trafficking is not an effective solution, citing examples from other countries where such approaches have failed.
Experts say that these leaked documents highlight a broader trend of increasing military presence and engagement in the Caribbean under President Trump's administration. The implications for regional stability are unclear, but they seem likely to be significant.

I think this is super shady dude... like, we're already talking about invading Venezuela and it's only 2025? That's some serious overreach if you ask me. What's next, US troops on the moon? 
And let's not forget about the whole baked goods thing... tens of thousands of pounds of treats for our boys in Puerto Rico? Come on, that's just a distraction from the real issues at hand. I mean, what's the real cost here? Is it just about keeping an eye on narco-trafficking or is there something more sinister going on? 
. It just seems like a never-ending cycle of military interventions and spending billions on supplies like baked goods 
. I mean, what's next? Will they be bringing donuts for the drone operators too? 
.
.
And 450% more expensive than what they originally requested? That's just icing on the cake... or should I say, icing on the honey bun? 
Anyway, I guess it's true what they say: you can't buy peace, but you can buy baked goods and hope for the best. 
the us plans to keep troops in the caribbean till 2028? that's like, forever 
and what's up with all those baked goods? like, who even needs that many honey buns 
. It just seems like a whole lotta dough being dropped into the Caribbean. Not sure if this is gonna have a positive or negative impact on the region... might be better to focus on diplomacy and economic aid instead?
