Venezuela Warns The World About US State-Sponsored Attacks And Piracy

December 24, 2025 Alba Ciudad, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , ,
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro sent a letter on Monday to the heads of state of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as to the 194 nations that make up the United Nations General Assembly. The document, read by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil from the Yellow House in Caracas, warns of an escalation of aggression by the US government that threatens to destabilize the security of the entire region and the international legal order. The letter’s central complaint focuses on the US military’s so-called “Operation Southern Spear,” a naval and air deployment that includes the presence of nuclear submarines off the coast of Venezuela, under the pretext of combating drug trafficking.

Who’s The Real Outlaw At Sea?

December 24, 2025 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, CODEPINK. , , , , ,
The United States has now intercepted multiple Venezuelan oil tankers as part of its escalating aggression against Venezuela, while also destroying dozens of small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific under the banner of “drug enforcement,” killing over 100 people whose identities the U.S. has obscured. At the same time, the Trump administration has threatened a naval blockade of Venezuela—a sovereign country with which the United States is not at war. How can Washington claim the right to seize or blow up vessels, disrupt maritime trade, and kill civilian boaters—while bombing Yemen and condemning its de facto Houthi government for intercepting ships in the Red Sea to counter Israel’s genocide in Gaza?

Reasons Black/African People Should Be In Solidarity With Venezuela

December 22, 2025 Djibo Sobukwe, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
While we are all aware that the US government has increased its hybrid war on its domestic population in the form of ICE, the national guard, cutting SNAP benefits, etc., we should also keep in mind that the US has escalated its war internationally. In this case, we highlight the escalation of the US hybrid war against Venezuela and provide 5 reasons why Black / African people should be in strong, steadfast solidarity at this time with the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela. The attacks and attempts at regime change and destabilization against the Bolivarian government of Venezuela by the US government have been ongoing since the founding of this democratically elected government in 1999.

US Pursuing Third Tanker Near Venezuela As Trump Escalates Blockade

December 22, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , , ,
US forces tried to board a third oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as the Trump administration continues to escalate its declared blockade of the country, an action traditionally considered an act of war under international law. Sources told Bloomberg that the US was still in pursuit of the Bella 1 tanker, which was en route to Venezuela to be loaded with oil before it was boarded by US forces. The outlet initially reported that US forces had boarded the tanker. US officials told The New York Times that the Bella 1 refused to be boarded by the US and has fled to the northeast, into the Atlantic Ocean.

December 21, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , , ,
At a massive rally in front of Venezuela’s national oil company PDVSA headquarters in La Campiña, Caracas, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez condemned the ongoing US aggressions against the country. In her speech on Friday, December 19, Rodríguez, who is also the minister of hydrocarbons, emphasized that Venezuela has a firm stance of dignity and resistance. She underscored that the country has no outstanding debts with the Trump administration. Rather, Washington owes the Venezuelan people compensation for stealing Venezuelan state assets.

CUNY Union Passes Resolution Condemning Military Aggression Against Venezuela

December 21, 2025 Left Voice. , , , , , , ,
On December 19, the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) delegate assembly voted to pass a resolution repudiating the U.S. military aggression against Venezuela. The resolution follows Trump’s announcement of an escalation of his offensive, introducing a “total blockade” on Venezuela. As we have written previously, “This blockade and continued military escalation is only going to impoverish and hurt the Venezuelan working class, who face not only an acute economic and social crisis due to imperialist sanctions and increasing military attacks, but also repression by the Maduro government.”

Left Parties In Asia Denounce US Military Threats Against Venezuela

December 21, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
Left and communist parties across Asia issued a statement expressing solidarity with the people of Venezuela, who are facing unprecedented attacks from the United States with an aggressive military build up in the Caribbean, as well as open threats of invasion. The statement, dated December 16, notes the concerns over ongoing “military escalation in the Caribbean and the aggression against Venezuela by the imperialist US” and demands the immediate cessation of all such hostile activities. The statement was signed by the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM), the Party of the Laboring Masses of Philippines (PLM), and Indonesia’s Partai Pembebasan Rakyat.

US Blockades Venezuela In War Still Searching For An Official Rationale

December 20, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
In our Donald-in-Wonderland world, the US is at war with Venezuela while still grasping for a public rationale. The horrific human toll is real – over a 100,000 fatalities from illegal sanctions and over a hundred from more recent “kinetic strikes.” Yet the officially stated justification for the US empire’s escalating offensive remains elusive.  The empire once spun its domination as “democracy promotion.” Accordingly, State Department stenographers such as The Washington Post framed the US-backed coup in Venezuela – which temporarily overthrew President Hugo Chávez – as an attempt to “restore a legitimate democracy.”

Trump: Who Will Put The Bell On The Cat?

December 20, 2025 Maria Páez Victor, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
Trump, the president of the most capitalist nation on Earth, has dealt a blow to the very system upon which his country—and indeed, most of the West—considers the bedrock of the economy, a blow that not even the most revolutionary person today would have foretold or thought to achieve. He has trashed the notion of private property and outright stolen a full oil tanker in international waters, like a modern pirate, and kidnapped its crew. Since September, mighty US navy warships obliterated, with military missiles, 22 small outboard motorboats (mostly in the Caribbean but some in the Pacific), killing at least 87 people.

Veterans For Peace Condemns Trump’s Illegal War On Venezuela

December 19, 2025 Veterans for Peace, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Veterans For Peace unequivocally rejects the Trump administration’s escalating attacks and threats of war against Venezuela. The U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and President Trump’s unilateral declaration of a naval blockade of Venezuela and closure of its air space constitute a brazen escalation of military aggression and a violation of both the U.S. Constitution and international law.  The U.S. has continually attacked Venezuela since the inception of the Bolivarian Revolution a quarter-century ago. In 2002, a U.S.-backed military coup temporarily ousted then President Hugo Chávez before the Venezuelan people rose up and reinstated him.

Trump Admits He Wants To Take Venezuela’s Oil

December 19, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
Donald Trump has openly admitted that he wants to take Venezuela’s oil. Top US officials have made it clear that this is a key reason for their war on the South American nation. Trump declared an illegal naval blockade of Venezuela on December 16. The US government aims to prevent Venezuela from selling oil to China, to starve Caracas of export revenue. The Trump administration is also illegally blocking Venezuela from importing crucial goods, including the light crude and chemicals needed to process and refine its own heavy crude.

Venezuela Strongly Condemns US Threat Of Blockade

December 18, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , , ,
In an escalation of the US empire’s ongoing illegal sanctions on Venezuela, US President Donald Trump has announced a “full blockade” of the sovereign nation and its oil tanker fleet. He claimed the measure would remain in place until Venezuela “returns all the oil, land, and other assets” he alleged were previously stolen from the US. The announcement ignited an immediate response from the Venezuelan government, followed by all state institutions and international allies. “Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump wrote on social media this Tuesday, December 16, adding that “it will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before.”

Bill To Block Trump From Launching War With Venezuela Fails

December 18, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , ,
The House on Wednesday voted down a War Powers Resolution meant to block President Trump from launching a war with Venezuela without congressional authorization, as required by the Constitution. The bill failed in a vote of 211-213, with nine representatives not voting. Just three Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the bill: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), and Don Bacon (NE). One Democrat, Henry Cuellar (TX), voted against the legislation. The legislation would have directed the president to remove “United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.”

Venezuela International Conference; US Delegates Defy ‘No-Fly Zone’

December 17, 2025 Mairead Skehan Gillis, Workers World. , , ,
Caracas, Venezuela - A delegation from the U.S. traveled to Venezuela to attend the People’s Assembly for Peace and Sovereignty in our Americas held in Caracas from December 9–11. The activists represented organizations opposing U.S. imperialist wars and took part in a coordinated week of action across 100 cities from November 15-23 to demand “No U.S. War on Venezuela!” and “No Troops on Our Streets!”  It was of utmost importance to participate in the assembly hosted by the Venezuelan government and the Simón Bolivar Institute to show unwavering solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution as it defends itself against growing U.S. aggressions, sanctions and war maneuvers in the Caribbean while simultaneously promoting a Zone of Peace across the hemisphere. 

Deadly US Strikes Hit Eastern Pacific Hours After Fentanyl Declared WMD

December 16, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The US military carried out an airstrike targeting several alleged drug-trafficking boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean late on 15 December, killing eight people just hours after US President Donald Trump announced that Washington is officially declaring Fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). The army’s Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said it bombed “designated terrorist organizations” with “lethal kinetic strikes.” SOUTHCOM added that eight were killed – “Three in the first vessel, two in the second, and three in the third.”
