📑🖊 OPINION |The United States Uses a Fabricated Drug Charge for a Potential Strike on Venezuela Vijay Prashad situates the US military buildup in the Caribbean within the Trump administration’s broader offensive against Venezuela. Seven warships and a nuclear-powered submarine are off Venezuela, even though most drugs reach the US via the Pacific. The US also doubled the reward on President Maduro to $50M for alleged ties to the “Cartel of the Suns,” described as a phenomenon rather than a cartel. 🔗 Read the full opinion piece here: https://venezuelanalysis.com/opinion/the-united-states-uses-a-fabricated-drug-charge-for-a-potential-strike-on-venezuela #DonaldTrump#USImperialism

📑🖊 OPINION | All Elements in Place for a US Strike on Venezuela On September 2, the US military destroyed a vessel in the Caribbean without attempting to stop or search it, killing 11 people. Washington claimed the boat came from Venezuela and was carrying drugs. The latest opinion piece by Emersberger and Harris points to escalating US actions: troop deployments in the Caribbean, a $50M bounty on Maduro, expanded sanctions, and a sustained military presence. These steps, they argue, set the stage for a possible strike targeting Venezuela’s leadership. 🔗 Read the full piece here: https://shorturl.at/c6udQ #DonaldTrump#USImperialism#USMilitaryThreats

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | ‘Venezuela, the Threat of a Good Example’: A Conversation with Geraldina Colotti In a world turned upside down, Italian activist Geraldina Colotti argues that no good deed and no sovereign project goes unpunished. She links the latest US escalation against Venezuela to what she describes as a broader imperial strategy amid a global capitalist crisis, citing sanctions, psychological operations, and an expanded US military footprint across Latin America and the Caribbean. For Colotti, Venezuela remains a target because it disrupts this dynamic. Before the blockade, the country had nearly achieved the UN Millennium Goals, a record she says turned Venezuela into “the threat of a good example” that Washington moved to contain.

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Puerto Rico, US Imperialism and Venezuela’s Defiant Sovereignty: A Conversation with Déborah Berman Santana From within a US colony, Puerto Rican geographer and activist Déborah Berman Santana argues in the latest VA interview that Washington’s “new” strategy closely resembles the old one. The United States’ latest National Security Strategy refocuses on the Western Hemisphere, reaffirming claims to dominance over Latin America and the Caribbean. In Berman Santana’s assessment, the document openly restates a historic objective: hemispheric control, with Venezuela at the center due to its insistence on sovereignty and control over its resources. She explains that Puerto Rico’s status as an unincorporated US territory enables this strategy in practice. With six US military bases on the island and a recent increase in air and naval activity, including the takeover of former civilian facilities, the United States can deploy forces across the Caribbean without consultation, using military pressure to influence Venezuela and signal limits on regional sovereignty.

🎥 VIDEO |“They [the US] are looking for oil. It’s not drug trafficking. It’s the oil,” President Nicolás Maduro told Rafael Correa during an interview on Tuesday. Maduro recalled that Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves, estimated at 303 billion barrels, as well as the fourth-largest gas reserves, and potentially the world's largest gold reserves. He stated that these vast resources were the primary reason for the Trump administration’s ramped-up threats of regime change against Venezuela. #Venezuela#US#drugtrafficking#USImperialism
