🗒️🗣️ 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.

🗒️🗣️ 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.

🖊🗞OPINION | The Netherlands Colonizes the Antilles for Venezuelan Oil Dutch historian and writer Marjolein van Pagee takes stock of the Dutch role in the Caribbean, arguing that “the Dutch neutrality claim is a farce.” The Netherlands maintains U.S. Forward Operating Locations in Curaçao and Aruba, just kilometers from Venezuela. In 2019, these bases were used during an infiltration attempt presented as “humanitarian aid.” Meanwhile, Dutch PM Dick Schoof announced the permanent closure of Aruba’s old Lago refinery, framing it as a step toward sustainability even as the islands remain strategic to U.S.-Dutch military cooperation.
