European Politicians Urge US To Stop Threatening Venezuela

Parliamentarians and political leaders from across Europe called on the United States to cease its threats against Venezuela and demanded the withdrawal of US troops stationed in the Caribbean. “The prelude to the invasion is already underway. A US naval armada—at least eight warships, strategic bombers, fighter jets, and 10,000 troops—is now patrolling the Caribbean,” 62 European political leaders wrote in a statement issued on Friday, November 21. Among the US warships deployed off the Venezuelan coast is the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the US fleet, which was used against Yemen during the latest Zionist genocide in Gaza.

Saudi Arabia Just Said No To Israel And The United States

The United States is trying to shape the Middle East in the image it wants. From pushing through its plan for Gaza at the United Nations, to pulling Syria and Saudi Arabia closer into its orbit, President Trump may soon get the Middle East that he desires. However, he will not get it all his own way, as forces from Iran, Yemen, and across the region still oppose Trump’s plans and fight against it. All the while, Israel continues to expand its control of its neighbors. This week, it has been stepping up bombing campaigns against targets in Lebanon from its bases in the occupied south of the country.

Venezuela Allies Urge US To Cease Military Hostilities

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter have condemned the United States military escalation in the Caribbean, warning that attacks on Venezuela could have a “spill-over effect” across the entire region. In communiqués issued on Tuesday, both multilateral organizations expressed concern for the increased military build-up in the Caribbean, including several warships, a nuclear-powered submarine and the recently arrived USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier. The 121-member NAM called on the US to stop its airstrikes against small vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific, which have killed over 80 civilians since September, and to avoid “any further hostile actions.”

Corporate Media Parrot Dubious Claims Used To Justify War On Venezuela

Since August, the US has been amassing military assets in the Caribbean. Warships, bombers and thousands of troops have been joined by the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, in the largest regional deployment in decades. Extrajudicial strikes against small vessels, which UN experts have decried as violations of international law, have killed at least 80 civilians (CNN, 11/14/25). Many foreign policy analysts believe that regime change in Venezuela is the ultimate goal (Al Jazeera, 10/24/25; Left Chapter, 10/21/25), but the Trump administration instead claims it is fighting “narcoterrorism,” accusing Caracas of flooding the US with drugs via the Cartel of the Suns and Tren de Aragua, both designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

The Masses Build And Sustain A Zone Of Peace Through Unity Of Struggles

On November 8-9, 2025, the social component of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) met in Santa Marta, Colombia, as the CELAC-EU Summit took place on November 9-10. The purpose of the CELAC-EU Summit was to enhance strategic cooperation between Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union in a time of heightened United States militarism targeting the Bolivarian peoples of Venezuela and now Colombia. A major theme of the summit was the unique geostrategic and historic role that Latin America and the Caribbean as a region have in the creation and strengthening of a multipolar world free of the dictates of the over 200-year-old Monroe Doctrine.

Sheinbaum Rebuffs Trump After He Threatens To Bomb Mexico, Colombia

US President Donald Trump lashed out Monday at Mexico and Colombia, threatening to bomb their territories as part of the US “fight” against drug trafficking. “Would I launch attacks against Mexico to stop drug trafficking? I have no problem with that,” he said during a press conference from the Oval Office of the White House. “Whatever it takes to stop drug trafficking,” he added in reference to the illegal US missile strikes, conducted under the auspices of an alleged “war on drugs,” that have killed 83 civilians from various countries in the region. During his statements, the US ruler reiterated his alleged willingness to conduct diplomatic talks with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

UN Security Council Gives US ‘Mandate’ Over Palestine

The United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a resolution that gives the world body’s imprimatur to Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, a territory he said publicly should be ethnically cleansed to develop a Mediterranean resort. The council voted 13 nations in favor with two abstentions from China and Russia, which could have vetoed Trump’s plans. The resolution essentially revives the colonial mandate system of the League of Nations after the First World War, and the United Nations’ trusteeship system after the Second World War, both schemes in which colonial powers remained in charge of a colonized territory while it was supposed to wean it towards independence.

Ex-UN Official Decries Resolution Backing Gaza Force As ‘Colonial Outrage’

A former senior UN human rights official has denounced the Security Council’s adoption of a resolution backing a US plan for foreign forces and governance in Gaza, calling it a “colonial outrage”. Craig Mokhiber, former director of the New York office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), described the vote as a “day of shame” for the UN and accused governments worldwide of being “on their knees before the US empire and its violent Israeli client”. He criticised the "horrific" resolution as a violation of international law. “This proposal has been rejected by Palestinian civil society and factions, as well as by defenders of human rights and international law everywhere,” Mokhiber said on X.

Ecuador Votes To Reject Foreign Military Bases

The Donald Trump administration is trying to expand the presence of the US military across Latin America, in an attempt to forcibly impose Washington’s hegemony in the region. The people of Ecuador just delivered a major blow to Trump’s aggressive Latin America strategy. More than three-fifths of Ecuadorians voted to reject a change to their progressive constitution, which would have allowed the Pentagon to establish US military bases in their territory. Ecuador is currently governed by a right-wing president, Daniel Noboa, who is a key regional ally of Trump.

Jurists From 35 Countries Gathered In Caracas To Condemn US Attacks

Venezuela’s National Assembly hosted, this Thursday, November 13 and Friday, November 14, the first Meeting of Jurists in Defense of International Law. The initiative, which included more than one hundred jurists from 35 countries, takes place amid international questions about the jurisprudence of pressure exerted by Washington against Nicolás Maduro’s government – both through bombings of vessels and the movement of aircraft carriers near the Venezuelan coast. Maduro appeared on the second day of the event. The head of state was given a list with 10 proposals drafted by jurists as attempts to halt Washington’s advances.

China Tells G7 To Abandon Cold War Mentality

China asked the Group of Seven (G7) countries to abandon their Cold War mentality and ideological bias on Thursday, November 13, after they accused China of causing instability in the East Asian region. The G7 should “take a clear grasp of the global trend, abandon the Cold War mentality and ideological bias and stop manipulating issues related to China,” said Lin Jian, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while answering a question related to the allegations made by the G7. On Wednesday, a joint statement issued after the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Niagara in Canada expressed support for “Taiwan’s meaningful participation in appropriate international organizations” and accused China of causing political and economic instabilities.

US Escalates Caribbean Destabilization With 20th Strike

The US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced a new “lethal kinetic strike” against a small boat in the Caribbean, the 20th of its kind to date. Although the announcement was made on Friday, November 14, it reportedly occurred on November 10, four days earlier. These “strikes” have been labeled as extrajudicial execution by the United Nations, “At the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization,” reads the statement accompanying the video of the strike that the SOUTHCOM posted on social media.

Trump Adds EU Antifa Groups, Drug Cartels To Terror List

The US government is “pursuing an unprecedented expansion” of its list of foreign terrorist organizations by adding left-wing groups in Europe and drug cartels in Latin America, The Washington Post reported on 16 November, just days after removing a former Al-Qaeda leader and hosting him at the White House. Led by neoconservative Zionist Jews, the US government launched the so-called “War on Terror” following the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. After blaming Islamic extremists from Al-Qaeda for the attacks, US lawmakers passed the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), giving the George W. Bush White House the freedom to invade Afghanistan and Iraq and intervene anywhere in the world under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

Africa’s Recent Elections: Crisis And A Continent’s Youth In Revolt

The past few months have seen three elections across Africa, in Tanzania, Cameroon, and Côte d’Ivoire. Each exposed a deepening democratic crisis on the continent. While the ballot boxes were filled and the slogans of “stability” and “unity” were loudly proclaimed, the underlying reality was very different; repression, exclusion, and a profound disconnect between the political class and the masses, especially youth. In all three cases, aging leaders clung to power through electoral processes that were anything but democratic.

The US War On China, Venezuela, And The International Left

Everywhere you look, the United States is at war– at home, through military occupation of cities, institutional violence, and state-sanctioned kidnappings, and abroad, through economic coercion, proxy warfare, and endless intervention. In times like these, when it is far too easy to be overwhelmed by the inexhaustible nature of the war machine, we must remember that these are not separate crises, but different fronts of the same struggle. And to resist one is to resist them all. The enemy, in every case, is U.S. imperialism.
