Something unusual appears to be going on today at RAF Fairford near Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom, with at least 10 C-17A Globemaster IIIs with the U.S. Air Force arriving at the base or currently crossing the Atlantic from the United States. Almost…
Around a dozen U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster IIIs arrived last night at RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom, most coming from Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia or Campbell Army Airfield in Kentucky, reportedly carrying helicopters and other equipment for the U.S. Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). Most of the C-17s have since continued on to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, though it is not known if they unloaded or loaded anything while on the ground at RAF Fairford.

Speaking earlier today on NBC’s Meet the Press about the operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, Secretary of State Marco Rubio made comments about future plans for Latin America.
Welker: “Is the Cuban Government the Trump Administration's next target?”
Rubio: “Well, the Cuban Government is a huge problem. Yeah.”
Welker: “Is that a yes?”
Rubio: “I think they're in a lot of trouble, yes. I’m not going to talk to you about what our future steps are going to be and our policies are going to be right now in this regard. But I don’t think it’s a mystery that we are not big fans of the Cuban Regime.”

In a telephone interview this morning with The Atlantic, President Donald J. Trump issued a threat against Venezuela’s Interim President Delcy Rodríguez, saying that, “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro,” adding that he would not stand for Rodríguez’s “defiant rejection” of military intervention by the United States.
Additionally, during the interview, President Trump reaffirmed that Venezuela may not be the last country subject to American intervention, or even that it would remain isolated to Latin America, clearly stating, “We do need Greenland, absolutely,” while describing the island which is a part of Denmark, a close-ally and member of NATO, as “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.”
