An attack against a port facility that resulted in a large explosion? Barely anyone notices? Yeah the land war has started. Just spitballing here but I'd guess either a strike from stealth aircraft (probably F-35s since plane trackers would tell us if a non-stealthy plane had flown near it) or we're seeing one of the Special Ops outfits hitting it with something heavy (heavy for man portable weapons).President Trump says the U.S. "knocked out" a "big facility" last week linked to alleged drug boat operations, although he didn't offer many details.

"There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs," Mr. Trump said Monday as he spoke to… pic.twitter.com/01XofoKjL0
Either way it doesn't matter.
The ground war is in full effect and if they're targeting port facilities then they probably have boots on the ground doing all kinds of covert shit.
Why the delay and why no firm announcement?
No need to disrupt 4th quarter earnings. With the exception of gas prices (you can exclude that for the folks in California) the thing people are pissed about in the President's base is the cost of things.
Fully expect things to ramp up quickly this year. By ramp up I mean a pressure campaign on the Venezuelan President. Trump doesn't want to put troops on the ground but he does want regime change.
I don't have the timeline on how long the 22nd MEU has been hovering off the coast there but I'd bet that this will be done or a transition from an "invasion" type operation to a more Army led ground occupation op is what happens.
When is the 22nd done with their 9 month deployment?
