🗒️🗣️ 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.

📑🖊 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.

📑🖊 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.

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Grenada, Venezuela and the Logic of Empire: A Conversation with Chester Humphrey
In the latest VA interview, veteran Grenadian revolutionary Chester Humphrey draws stark parallels between the 1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada and today’s military buildup against Venezuela. He warns that the narrative of “narco-terrorism” echoes the fabricated pretexts of the past, and reveals that Washington is pressuring Grenada to host radar infrastructure tied to potential military action.
Humphrey also calls for unity among revolutionary movements and emphasizes deepening people-to-people solidarity throughout the Caribbean.

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Geopolitics, Resistance and the Battle for Venezuela: A Conversation with Atilio Borón
In VA’s latest interview, Atilio Borón offers a detailed reading of the current escalation in the Caribbean. He states that Washington is deploying its largest military presence in the region since 1962 as it tries to counter China’s expanding economic footprint and assemble a new right-wing bloc aligned with US interests.
Borón says Venezuela remains a strategic priority for Washington because it holds “the largest proven oil reserves in the world… just four to five days from US refineries,” a factor he argues helps explain the renewed military pressure, particularly as the US pursues new methods after failing to isolate the country politically and economically.

📰 NEWS | US Senate Rejects Resolution to End Military Strikes Near Venezuela
The US Senate has narrowly rejected a resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump’s authority to conduct military strikes near Venezuela. The 48–51 vote, led by Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff, sought to require congressional approval for further attacks on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean.
The decision follows the Trump administration’s suspension of diplomatic contact with President Nicolás Maduro and a classified Justice Department opinion granting the president wide latitude to authorize lethal force against alleged cartels.
Washington currently has over 10,000 troops stationed across the Caribbean in what it calls an anti-drug operation. Caracas has warned of possible US military escalation.

📑🖊 OPINION | Trump’s Détente with Venezuela
On January 31, US presidential envoy Ric Grenell met with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, marking a shift in US-Venezuela relations after years of hostility. The visit coincided with Washington’s automatic renewal of Chevron’s license to operate in the country. However, just days later, the US cut the wind-down period of the license from six months to 30 days, potentially signaling a return to regime change tactics.
Analyst and solidarity activist Roger Harris examines the moving pieces and competing interests shaping US-Venezuela relations. Read the full opinion piece here: https://shorturl.at/Grckw

ПОЛИТИКА: США
Собственно, именно такого заявления и стоило ожидать,
потому что глубинное государство США не делится на республиканцев и демократов, оно спонсирует обе стороны.
Вчера Владимир Владимирович уже ответил, если что.
Перевод сообщения Дональда Трампа по результатам его поездки в ООН.
После ознакомления и полного понимания военной и экономической ситуации между Украиной и Россией и после того, как я увидел, какие экономические проблемы это создает России, я думаю, что Украина, при поддержке Европейского союза, в состоянии бороться и вернуть всю Украину в ее первоначальном виде.
При наличии времени, терпения и финансовой поддержки Европы и, в частности, НАТО, сохранение первоначальных границ, с которых началась эта война, вполне возможно.
Почему нет?
Россия в течение трех с половиной лет бесцельно ведет войну, для победы в которой Реальной военной мощи потребовалось бы меньше недели. Это не отличает Россию от других стран.
На самом деле, это делает ее похожей на "бумажного тигра".
Когда люди, живущие в Москве и во всех крупных городах, поселках и округах по всей России, узнают, что на самом деле происходит с этой войной, о том факте, что им почти невозможно достать бензин из-за длинных очередей, которые образуются, и обо всем остальном которые происходят в их военной экономике, где большая часть их денег тратится на борьбу с Украиной, которая обладает Великим Духом и становится только лучше, Украина смогла бы вернуть свою Страну в ее первоначальном виде и, кто
знает, может быть, даже пойти дальше этого!
У Путина и России БОЛЬШИЕ экономические проблемы, и Украине пора действовать.
В любом случае, я желаю обеим странам всего наилучшего. Мы продолжим поставлять оружие НАТО, чтобы НАТО могло делать с ним то, что они хотят.Удачи всем!

Только со временем встречи ошиблась немного, но хотя бы с местом нет.
