Its not that they forgot, they planned this since at least two months, according to a resident of Curaçao anyway, that's what he reported "US Navy ships, they've arrived two months ago".
Curaçao if you can't be bothered by geography or a map or google searches, is an island in front of Venezuela.
I wonder if Maduro was shitting his pants ever since the ships arrived.

If you carry on like this, one day there will be masked goons walking the streets and asking people for their papers.

President Donald Trump has sent a campaign fundraising email with the subject line "I want to try and get to Heaven".
The email framed his political survival and legal battles as evidence of divine purpose and asked supporters to contribute $15 during a "24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ."

But in a rarity for a bilateral meeting, the White House had also organized a “spectacular flyover,” which boomed through the skies just as Epstein survivor Chauntae Davies was being asked about Epstein's “biggest brag”: his friendship with Trump.
The flyover was designed to honor a Polish air force F-16 pilot who died in an August crash during a rehearsal for an airshow in Radom, Poland.
However, Davies and her fellow survivors were forced to pause briefly, looking up at the skies where noisy USAF F-35 fighters performed a missing man formation and other ceremonial moves.

what about the war against Venezuela's ships?

Feel free to join in. I can't do all the heavy lifting. Keeping up with Trump's criminality is a 24/7 job.

US strike on 'Venezuela drug boat': What do we know, and was it legal?
A strike carried out by US forces on a boat in the Caribbean Sea - which the White House says killed 11 drug traffickers - may have violated international human rights and maritime law, legal experts have told BBC Verify.
President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that US forces destroyed a vessel which he said had departed from Venezuela. He said the boat was operated by the Tren de Aragua cartel and was carrying drugs bound for the US.
US defence officials have so far declined to offer details on the strike, footage of which Trump shared on Truth Social, including what legal authority they relied upon to justify it.
BBC Verify reached out to a range of experts in international and maritime law, with several saying that US may have acted illegally in attacking the vessel.
The US is not a signatory to United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, but the US military's legal advisors have previously said that the US should "act in a manner consistent with its provisions".
Under the convention, countries agree not to interfere with vessels operating in international waters. There are limited exceptions to this which allow a state to seize a ship, such as a "hot pursuit" where a vessel is chased from a country's waters into the high seas.
"Force can be used to stop a boat but generally this should be non-lethal measures," Prof Luke Moffett of Queens University Belfast said.
But he added that the use of aggressive tactics must be "reasonable and necessary in self-defence where there is immediate threat of serious injury or loss of life to enforcement officials", noting that the US moves were likely "unlawful under the law of the sea".
Are US strikes on alleged cartel members legal?

The last time the US had this policy, a Cessna containing a Christian missionary and family was shot down. (

Most people call it collateral damage. It's unfortunate but it do happen. I'm not saying it's right; however, the US Navy's mission is to keep the shipping lanes open and free of pirates and criminals in general. The tactics might be a tad aggressive but they are effective.
