🗒️🗣️ 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.

📰 NEWS | Venezuela Condemns US Tanker Seizure as ‘International Piracy’ as a Potential Oil Blockade Looms Venezuela denounced the US seizure of the “Skipper” oil tanker as “international piracy” after US forces boarded the vessel carrying 1.8 million barrels of crude loaded at the José terminal. The operation, which involved Coast Guard, Marines, and special forces, occurred without resistance. Cuba also condemned the action as a violation of international law. The seizure comes as Washington expands its military presence in the Caribbean and weighs a naval blockade. US lawmakers questioned the administration’s shifting justification, citing contradictions between counter-narcotics claims and the targeting of an oil shipment.

🖊🗞OPINION | The Next Wars Were Always Here: How Post 9/11 Law and the Monroe Doctrine Converged in the Caribbean With Washington ramping up military threats against Venezuela, Michelle Ellner looks at how the US establishment laid the groundwork for new wars. Relatives and maritime workers disputed Washington’s narrative about the US strikes near Venezuela, stating the men killed were unarmed workers and not linked to organized armed groups. Reporting also revealed a classified OLC memo that frames the operations as part of a “non-international armed conflict,” a rationale lawmakers say lacks legal basis and expands presidential war powers without congressional authorization.

🗒️🗣️ 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.
