US Extrajudicial Strikes Kill 14 In Pacific Off The Coast Of Mexico

A total of 14 people were killed and one survived after the US government conducted three strikes against four small boats in the waters of the Eastern Pacific near Mexico, in what is being described as another extrajudicial killing. The information was released Tuesday morning by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who claimed on social media that “three lethal kinetic attacks were carried out against four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations … A total of 14 narcoterrorists died during the three attacks.” Hegseth claimed that the first attack killed eight people on board two boats, the second killed four men, and the third killed two people. He also claimed that there is one survivor. While writing that “there were no casualties among the US forces,” Hegseth confirmed that the US government had ordered further extrajudicial executions, in flagrant violation of international and US laws.

Trump Met With Popular Protests In South Korea

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Gyeongju and several other cities in South Korea to oppose US President Donald Trump’s visit to the country on Wednesday, October 29. Protesters in Gyeongju tried to march to the Bomun Tourist Complex, the venue of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. They were stopped nearly five kilometers from the venue by security forces, The Korean Times reported. Despite the security barricade, some of the protesters reached near the summit venue which caused a brief clash with security forces and led to minor injuries. Protesters carried banners and posters denouncing US policies and shouted slogans such as “No King: Trump is not welcome!” and “No APEC!”

Trump’s 2025 Venezuela Escalation Is A Sham For Oil

On October 16, 2025, Donald Trump’s second term ignited a reckless campaign against Venezuela, greenlighting covert CIA operations, deploying 4,000 Marines and F-35 jets to the Caribbean, and launching strikes on Venezuelan vessels that have killed more than 27 people—all framed as a fight against drugs and migration. This is no noble mission: It is a recycled imperial plot to seize the world’s largest oil reserves, draped in fabricated threats. The U.S. narrative paints Nicolás Maduro as the mastermind of gangs like Tren de Aragua (TdA), but the CIA’s history of enabling criminal networks tells a different story.

Trump, Russian Oil And Tomahawk Missiles

U.S. President Donald Trump has seemingly shifted gear in the U.S. strategy to stop Russia on its tracks from creating new facts on the ground in Ukraine. Russian forces have the upper hand all along the 1250-kilometer Ukrainian frontline stretching Kiev’s defences and resources, which no amount of Western military help can hope to reverse in a foreseeable future. Trump is compelling Russia to seek a military victory in Ukraine. Trump so far put on the air of a statesman in great anguish over the humanitarian aspects of the conflict. Moscow tolerated the theatrical show to pamper Trump’s egoistic personality — that is, until Russian President Vladimir Putin shattered the myth to expose that Trump actually holds the record as the American president who sanctioned Russia the most number of times, exceeding even his predecessor Joe Biden’s tally.

Venezuela Launches Simón Bolívar International Brigades

On Friday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced that Venezuela will form an international volunteer brigade to confront any US intervention or aggression. The statement was made during a meeting of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform. “We have received proposals from all over Latin America and the Caribbean, from Asia, Africa, and from many other places. I have seen videos on social media from many people, social leaders, saying that they too are getting ready,” Maduro said. He added that the international brigades, comprised of “men and women of the world,” would defend Venezuela’s sovereignty. President Maduro added that Washington is unleashing “a new eternal war,” commenting on the controversial US deployment and aggressions in the Caribbean Sea, with 10 strikes on small boats that have already killed 43 civilians in actions labeled as extrajudicial killings by international experts.

The ‘Donroe Doctrine’: Trump’s Neocolonial Plan For Latin America

The US government has always meddled in Latin America’s internal affairs. This is far from new. The United States overthrew at least 41 governments in Latin America from 1898 to 1994, according to research by Columbia University historian John Coatsworth. In the past three decades, Washington has backed dozens more coups, coup attempts, regime-change operations, and “color revolutions” in the region. The US military has intervened in every single country in Latin America, according to data from the Congressional Research Service. (The only exception is French Guiana, which is a colony of France.) US imperialism has always been bipartisan in Washington, and has continued under both Republican and Democratic presidents.

Norwegian Peace Council Will Not Celebrate Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize

The Norwegian Peace Council announced that it will not organize this year’s traditional torchlight procession through downtown Oslo on the day the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded due to its disagreement with the choice of Venezuelan far-right politician María Corina Machado as the winner. The organization, which brings together 17 Norwegian pacifist organizations and some 15,000 activists, declared on Friday, October 24, that it made this decision because its members “do not feel that this year’s winner is in line with the fundamental values of the Norwegian Peace Council.” “It is a difficult but necessary decision. We have great respect for the Nobel Committee and for the Peace Prize as an institution, but as an organization, we must remain true to our principles and to the broad peace movement that we represent.

No To A US War On Venezuela!

For the past few weeks the Trump administration has intensified its long-standing aggression against Venezuela by deploying warships (including a nuclear submarine) in the Caribbean Sea in a purported anti-narcotics operation. US forces have carried out at least five incidents of strikes on boats in Venezuelan waters to date, killing 37 people. Trump’s latest move has been to authorise the CIA to conduct covert operations inside Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro, as Venezuela’s current leader, has been a focus of this ‘war on drugs’ narrative, justifying the US’s illegal actions by demonising him as a ‘narco-terrorist’ engaged in drug trafficking, despite UN evidence to the contrary. The US also portrays him as being an illegitimate leader, offering a bounty of $50 million for his capture.

Political Leaders Call To Preserve Latin America, Caribbean As ‘Zone Of Peace’

Political leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean condemned the US military buildup in the hemisphere and issued a call to defend “sovereignty, security, and lasting peace” in the region. The signatories sounded the alarm over the “imminent threat” of US military action inside Venezuelan territory. “The Trump administration is escalating a dangerous military buildup off the coast of Venezuela, deploying naval forces in the Caribbean in preparation for a potential armed intervention,” read the communiqué published Thursday by the Progressive International. The legislators and political leaders warned that the United States’ bombing campaign represents a direct threat to the region’s status as “Zone of Peace.”

Colombia’s Free Trade Agreement With US ‘Suspended,’ Ambassador Recalled

On Monday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro declared that Colombia’s Free Trade Agreement with the United States has been “de facto suspended” since last April, when his counterpart Donald Trump included the country in his global trade war with a 10% tariff. Petro said he will announce new measures regarding the matter soon, marking a continuation of rising tensions after a US strike against a small boat in the Caribbean. “The FTA is suspended de facto and by unilateral decision of the US government,” Petro stated on his X account. “By imposing 10% tariffs, the FTA treaty has already been violated and the old tariff preferences that kept Colombia under US control have been nullified.”

Trump Orders CIA To Attack Venezuela

The United States is waging war on Venezuela. This is not a hypothetical; it is happening. The Donald Trump administration is using extreme violence to try to overthrow Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro. The US military has killed dozens of Venezuelans in strikes on boats in international waters without charge or trial. UN experts have publicly condemned these attacks as “extrajudicial executions” that violate international law. It is not only Venezuelans who have been executed by the US military. Among the victims of these illegal US attacks have been fishermen who were citizens of Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago.

The Likely Consequences Of A US War On Venezuela

Funny thing about war: it is relatively easy to start. An insult here. A lie there. A “false flag” as a casus belli there, and shots, bombs, missiles ensue…and destruction and deaths follow until there is some sort of “victory”. However, when the odds are stacked against a much smaller opponent that is facing an overwhelmingly larger foe, then “victory” will not appear straightforward, or even clear. It will be messy. This is the case of Venezuela. The USA thinks its technological superiority will allow it to subdue the Venezuelan government and people: in other words, bomb them into submission.

Brazil’s MST Will Organize Brigades To Support Venezuela

The national leader of Brazil’s Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST), João Pedro Stédile, announced that popular movements across Latin America are working in coordination to send brigades of activists to Venezuela in solidarity with the country’s government and people, amid growing threats of a possible US military intervention. “We, as movements in Latin America, are holding meetings and consultations to organize, as soon as possible, internationalist brigades of activists from each of our countries to go to Venezuela and stand alongside the government and the Venezuelan people,” said Stédile in an interview with Radio BdF.

Washington’s New War Front To Box In China And Turkiye

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s words earlier this month were a clear declaration that the relatively calm waters of the Eastern Mediterranean have become the front line in a wider geopolitical conflict. The threat that “Turkiye will strike first” was not only directed at Greece, Cyprus, or Israel, but at the new security architecture forming on the edge of the west, what can be called the “Mediterranean Arc.” This tripartite strategic partnership has evolved beyond a regional coalition countering Ankara’s ambitions. It now forms a critical node in a broader geopolitical constellation known as the Indo-Mediterranean Rim – the central stage of intensifying competition between the US and China across Eurasia and beyond.

Head Of US Southern Command To Step Down Amid Strikes On Boats

The head of US Southern Command, the military commander overseeing US escalations in the Caribbean and the push toward an attempt at regime change in Venezuela, is stepping down, the Pentagon announced on Thursday. According to a statement from SOUTHCOM Commander Adm. Alvin Holsey, who served in the position for less than a year, he will be retiring on December 12, 2025, ending a 37-year military career. No reason was given for his resignation, but according to The New York Times, he had raised concerns about the US military mission in the Caribbean, which has involved a significant buildup of forces and the bombing of five boats that the Trump administration has claimed, without providing evidence, were carrying drugs.
