The United States has reopened the former Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico as part of a military buildup in the Caribbean, coinciding with escalating tensions with Venezuela. The reactivation of this base, closed two decades ago, has sparked significant protests from Puerto Ricans opposing U.S. militarism and military trainings in the region. The arrival of advanced F-35B jets and the deployment of Marine units have heightened concerns among local residents regarding the implications for peace and stability, amidst ongoing protests against military escalation in Puerto Rico.
