General Mike Flynn, former national security advisor during Donald Trump's first term, launched a powerful message that quickly generated an impact on social media.

From his official account on X (formerly Twitter), the military officer wrote: “Maduro, I think it’s time,” a phrase that ignited political debate and speculation about a possible US military outcome in Venezuela.

Mike Flynn's warning comes at a time of growing geopolitical tension between the United States and the Chavista regime.

Just hours earlier, President Donald Trump had announced the total closure of airspace over Venezuela and its surrounding areas, in anticipation of possible US military operations in Venezuelan territory.

The information, according to reports, was leaked on Friday, November 28, from the Oval Office of the White House, intensifying alarms about a possible US military intervention in Venezuela.

This strategic move also comes days after the US State Department designated the so-called Cartel of the Suns as a foreign terrorist organization on November 24.

The measure, considered historic, is part of Washington's tightening of sanctions and actions against structures allegedly linked to drug trafficking and high-ranking officials of Chavismo.

Furthermore, on November 24, 2025, the State Department formalized the designation of the Cartel of the Suns under the category of Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), opening the door to new legal implications, financial sanctions, and potential military operations under U.S. counterterrorism legislation.
