🇺🇸🪖⌛💥🇻🇪🇻🇪 — 🇺🇳 According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), U.S. destroyers and other naval vessels — reportedly arriving in 36 hours to the Caribbean Sea — can position themselves outside Venezuela’s territorial waters at a distance greater than 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) from the coast. In other words, "right there"

➡️ Legally, those destroyers and ships can remain in that area for as long as they wish. What they cannot do is interfere with Venezuela’s “legal” commercial activity, since the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) does extend up to 200 nautical miles (370 km) from the coast (green zone).

🇺🇸🇺🇸🛬🇧🇷🏳⁉️ — A U.S. Air Force Boeing 757, frequently used in special operations (CIA) of the American government, landed in Brazil without identification. The aircraft arrived in Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul.

➡️ The Boeing 757-200, registration 00-9001, departed the U.S. from a military base in New Jersey. Before reaching Brazilian territory, the plane also passed through Florida and Puerto Rico.

➡️ According to U.S. government information, the aircraft is linked to the 150th Special Operations Squadron of the U.S. Air Force (USAF). The unit is responsible for transport missions connected to the U.S. Department of State, such as trips for diplomats, military personnel, and CIA intelligence agents. The plane’s overall mission is to provide immediate support to American citizens and allies abroad, mainly assisting embassies.

➡️ The C-32B, nicknamed “Gatekeeper,” has been deployed in crises in the Middle East, during Olympic Games, and in critical situations such as the Beirut port explosion in Lebanon in 2020. The aircraft is equipped with advanced communications systems, sensors, and aerial refueling capability, similar to the presidential C-32A.

❓ So far, the purpose of the 757-200’s trip to Brazil remains unclear, and the U.S. Embassy in Brazil has declined to comment.
