PSUV Calls For An International Front To Defend Cuba

May 22, 2026 Diario VEA, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) issued an urgent call for the unity of parties, social movements, unions, student federations, and popular organizations worldwide, to form a political and diplomatic front in defense of Cuba, in light of the threats of invasion made by US President Donald Trump. In this regard, PSUV alerted governments, political parties, and movements in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world about the consequences of the recent oil blockade and other coercive measures imposed by the US against Cuba, especially following the Executive Order issued on May 1, 2026.

Escalations Against Cuba Show Urgency Of Building Anti-War Movement In The Streets

May 22, 2026 Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. , , ,
President Trump has ratcheted up imperialist aggression against Cuba. On May 20, the United States issued an indictment against former leader Raúl Castro, a move many analysts see as a pretext for a military intervention. On May 21, a U.S. aircraft carrier, USS Nimitz, arrived in the Caribbean. Trump’s foreign policy has been marked by his attempt to aggressively reassert U.S. dominance over Latin America and the Caribbean, a part of his “Donroe Doctrine.” Cuba, and the example of resistance from its 1959 revolution, is now the main target of Trump, as well as longtime anti-communist hardliner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Answering Trump’s War Threats, Cuban Workers Plan Mass May Day Rallies

April 18, 2026 Cameron Harrison, People's World. , , , , ,
Havana—As the Trump administration tightens its energy blockade on Cuba and threatens war and regime change, the Cuban labor movement—along with all of Cuban society—is gearing up for a mass mobilization on May 1. The Workers’ Central Union of Cuba (CTC) and its affiliates have issued a call for this year’s May Day, International Workers’ Day, to “defend the homeland.” Their labor movement’s call comes at a moment of maximum pressure. On Jan. 29, the White House imposed a total oil blockade on Cuba, cutting off nearly all fuel supplies to the island of 11 million people.

Pentagon Ramps Up Preparations For Potential Attack On Cuba

April 16, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , ,
The Pentagon has increased its preparations for a possible attack on Cuba, according to media reports, as President Trump has made clear that war against the island nation may be his next military intervention. Zeteo first reported the ramped-up plans for war with Cuba, saying that in recent days, “officials at the Pentagon and elsewhere in the US government were quietly given a new directive that came straight from the Trump White House. The message: ramp up your preparations for possible military operations against Cuba.” USA Today affirmed the Zeteo scoop.

At UN, Venezuela Accuses US Of Oil Theft, Colonial Blockade

December 26, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Tuesday, during an emergency United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meeting, Venezuela condemned what it called the “confession of a crime of aggression” by the United States. Ambassador Samuel Moncada detailed US crimes in region, including a declared naval blockade of Venezuela, the theft of four million barrels of Venezuelan oil, and electronic warfare in Venezuelan airspace, all of which constitute violations of international law and threats to peace. Venezuela noted that on December 16, US President Donald Trump publicly declared the following: “Today, I am ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.”

Venezuela Hopes For A New José Gregorio Hernández Miracle

December 26, 2025 Jessica Dos Santos, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
On October 19, the Venezuelan people celebrated the sanctification of José Gregorio Hernández, the “doctor of the poor.” With his beatification process launched under Pope Francis, the first Venezuelan to hold this honor was in a way an “exception” to the Catholic Church’s rules: the threshold is two “miracles” attributed to the candidate, and Hernández only has one. Now, during the holiday season and with the year drawing to a close, a second miracle comes to mind: halting a foreign military operation against our country and staving off the collapse of the Venezuelan economy in the wake of the US naval blockade.

‘We’re Very Concerned About What The US Is Doing Around Venezuela’

September 29, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , ,
Russia is deeply concerned about what the US is doing around Venezuelan waters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on Saturday. “We are certainly very alarmed by what the US has organized now in what are currently international waters, but near Venezuelan territorial waters,” Lavrov said. The foreign minister specified that he spoke with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yván Gil, about the matter the previous day. “The situation is truly serious, because there are significant armed and naval forces there, including a nuclear submarine, and there are direct threats of military intervention to destroy ‘drug cartels’ and wage war on drug trafficking in general,” Lavrov said in reference to the new euphemisms used by the White House to legitimize a military action aiming at regime change in Venezuela.

The Never Ending US Killing Fields Of Somalia

September 27, 2025 Tunde Osazua, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
In the remote, arid landscapes of Puntland and the contested central regions of Somalia, the distant hum of a Reaper drone is the sound of a recurring nightmare. It is the herald of an explosion, of anonymous death delivered from the sky, and of a conflict that has been meticulously engineered to be endless. The United States, under the second Trump administration, has not started a new war in Somalia; it has simply intensified a long-standing project of imperial domination, cloaking it in the familiar, tattered rhetoric of counterterrorism. This escalation is not a deviation from U.S. policy but its purest expression: a neo-colonial endeavor designed to keep a nation fractured, dependent, and perpetually in the crosshairs.

A Funny Thing Happened To US Warships On Their Way To The Caribbean

August 31, 2025 Maria Paez Victor, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The USA has deployed two warships, an armed nuclear submarine and 4,500 troops to the Caribbean Sea. According to Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, their supposed mission is to combat drug trafficking and a drug cartel called “Cartel de los Soles” [Cartel of the Sun’s]. Rubio claims that it is led by President Maduro, and he insists that it is intent on “flooding” the US with narcotics. He stated that this cartel is one of the largest criminal organizations that exists in the hemisphere. Military experts, however, point out that two warships and a nuclear submarine is overkill and ineffective to combat smugglers’ boats, for which helicopters and coast-guard-type ships would be more effective.

Eco-Solidarity And The Threat To Venezuela: Act Now!

August 26, 2025 the Alliance for Global Justice, Popular Resistance. , , ,
The Trump administration is sending three warships with 4,500 marines to the coast of Venezuela, raising tensions and stoking fears of a possible US invasion. This act is the latest in a series of provocations carried out in the name of the fake War on Drugs. The newest threat follows the announcement of a $50 million dollar bounty for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and a declaration by the White House asserting the military option to invade the borders of any nation in order to combat alleged narcotraffickers. This justification, however, is not sincere. The Drug War is the new Big Lie used as a flimsy cover for war and repression.

Is Venezuela The Next Target Of The US Empire?

August 22, 2025 Will Porter and Kyle Anzalone, AntiWar.com. , , , ,
President Donald Trump has deployed several warships and thousands of Marines to the southern Caribbean – just miles off the coast of Venezuela. The provocative mission was launched under the guise of an anti-narcotics crusade, but risks disastrous outcomes for both countries. While a war with Venezuela might seem unlikely, the move is sure to radically escalate tensions with the Latin American state, and in the worst-case scenario could become a trip-wire for direct conflict with Caracas. According to a recent New York Times report, the president has signed a secret directive authorizing military action against drug cartels designated as “terrorist” groups, having added several drug gangs to the terror blacklist since February. The new operation in the Caribbean is almost certainly based on that order.

US Media Promotes Military Intervention In Venezuela

January 26, 2025 Francisco Dominguez and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
The New York Times, the so-called US “newspaper of record,” carried an opinion piece by one of its columnists promoting “military intervention” to promote “democracy” by overturning the democratically elected government of Venezuela. The central tenet of the NYT piece is that the moral basis for deposing the current president is clear because it claims that he stole the election, terrorizes his opponents, and brutalizes his people with no sign of letting up, much less letting go. Every other option for political change, it contends, has been attempted. Not only that, but Venezuela maintains friendly relations with “our enemies” such as China, Russia, and Iran.

Kenya Deploys 200 More Police Officers To Haiti As Crisis Escalates

January 26, 2025 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
Kenya has deployed another batch of 217 police officers to Haiti, adding to the 400 sent last year as part of a “multinational mission” aimed at addressing the country’s deepening crisis of gang violence. The intervention aims to protect critical infrastructure and conduct “targeted operations” alongside the Haitian National Police, however, there are significant doubts about its effectiveness in resolving the systemic challenges plaguing Haiti. On October 2, 2024, the United Nations Security Council authorized this year-long, Kenyan-led security intervention to purportedly combat gang violence and restore stability to territories controlled by armed groups.

No Deployment Of US Troops Or Bases In The Caribbean

December 19, 2024 Organization For The Victory Of The People, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
We, the undersigned organizations, strongly condemn the decision by Trinidad & Tobago’s Prime Minister, Keith Rowley, and the PNM Government, to allow the deployment of US troops on Trinidadian soil. This is a grave mistake. Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana have become pawns in the US Empire’s nefarious plan to militarize the Caribbean region under the auspices of the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). The US claims that this military cooperation is about enhancing regional security and dealing with issues such as the trafficking of persons, drugs and weapons, and to improve the military capability of these Caribbean countries.

With Trump’s Re-Election, A Venezuela Invasion Could Be In The Cards

December 11, 2024 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , ,
The re-election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States has many in Venezuela extremely concerned. From assassinations, terror campaigns, sanctions and coups, the first Trump administration tried everything short of a full-scale invasion of the country. With a cabinet full of hawks, MintPress assesses the potential for a future U.S. intervention in Venezuela. According to insiders such as Defense Secretary Mark Esper and National Security Advisor John Bolton, Trump was one of the loudest voices in the White House pushing for military intervention in the Caribbean nation. The president said that it would be “cool” to invade, as the country was “really part of the United States.”
