The United States is moving from Defense to War today!

A historic turning point is shaking the United States today: the Department of Defense will no longer be called that, adopting a much more aggressive and controversial name: the Department of Defense and War .

The decision was signed today and revives a name that already existed in the 18th century, in the country's early days. However, the current context gives it explosive weight: the measure comes just after Washington confirmed that two Venezuelan fighter jets came dangerously close to US warships in the Caribbean Sea .

The president will sign the executive order this Friday, but for the name change to become final, it must be approved by Congress. In the meantime, the new name may be used unofficially.

President Donald Trump had already floated the idea in recent weeks. In his view, the United States cannot limit itself to thinking about defense only "when attacked," but must be prepared to project force at any time and anywhere in the world.

The name change isn't just a bureaucratic formality: it's a direct political and military message . The United States seems to want to make it clear that it's prepared not only to defend itself, but also to attack if it deems it necessary.

This change, against the backdrop of tensions with Venezuela in the Caribbean, opens a new era of uncertainty and risk in the region. The word "war" officially returns to the forefront of US military power.
