🖊🗞OPINION | Corporate Media Parrot Dubious Drug Claims That Justify War on Venezuela
Venezuelanalysis’ Ricardo Vaz breaks down how corporate media are reinforcing Washington’s narrative amid the largest US military buildup in the Caribbean in decades.
Vaz shows how major outlets have echoed the Trump administration’s framing as the US deploys a major regional force, including the USS Gerald R. Ford, and carries out extrajudicial strikes that UN experts have denounced as violations of international law.

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.

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.
