Thousands Mobilize Against Trump’s War Threats To Venezuela

December 8, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Thousands of people in the United States demonstrated on December 6 under the slogan “Stop the war before it starts!” to protest against President Donald Trump’s plans for military aggression against Venezuela. The mobilization, organized by a broad coalition of progressive organizations, declared that the republican administration is repeating past mistakes by justifying a possible intervention with unfounded accusations about drug trafficking. Among the first groups backing the protests are the ANSWER Coalition, People’s Forum, Black Alliance for Peace, CODEPINK, Palestinian Youth Movement, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Democratic Socialists of America, and Dissenters.

Lies, False Flags And Extrajudicial Murders; Resisting US Attacks On Venezuela

December 7, 2025 Francisco Dominguez, Red Pepper. , , , ,
In deploying the largest naval armada seen in the Caribbean Sea for decades, the Trump administration has spent recent months ramping up long-standing US aggression against Venezuela. Predicated upon the falsehood that Venezuela is a narco-state run by the non-existent Cartel de los Soles, the fleet comprises at least thirteen warships, including three guided-missile destroyers, five support vessels, a nuclear submarine and the USS Gerald Ford.  The latter, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, is capable of carrying over 75 military aircraft and a range of military assets. Overall, the US has deployed at least 16,000 military personnel to the flotilla. The Pentagon is also docking warships and moving in war materiel through Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago, and very likely through Guyana and other Caribbean islands. 

‘Venezuela, The Threat Of A Good Example’

December 7, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
As Washington intensifies its hybrid war against Venezuela—combining sanctions, lawfare, psychological operations, and military threats—the South American country once again finds itself in the headlines. To understand this moment, Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Geraldina Colotti, an Italian journalist, revolutionary militant, and former political prisoner who has engaged with Venezuela for decades. Colotti argues that the current offensive against the Caribbean nation is part of a broader imperial strategy to reassert US hegemony amid a terminal crisis of global capitalism. Drawing parallels with Iraq, Libya, Palestine, and Vietnam, she explains how the Bolivarian Revolution represents the “threat of a good example” and why, despite suffocating sanctions and relentless destabilization, Venezuela continues to be a living paradigm of popular resistance.

Resistance Builds Within Against Trump’s Drive To War With Venezuela

December 6, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
The US government has continued to accelerate its drive to war with Venezuela. While rumors circulate about phone calls and possible talks between US President Donald Trump and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, in tandem, the US head of state has continued to launch bizarre and illegal threats and accusations against the South American nation. On Saturday, November 29, Trump unilaterally declared that Venezuelan airspace was closed, despite international law stipulating that only Venezuela has authority over the airspace above its territory and reports that air traffic above Venezuela has since continued.

Arbitrary Sanctions Threaten Development Rights Of 76 Nations

December 6, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
On Thursday, Venezuela’s representative to the United Nations, Samuel Moncada, recalled that the “Right to Development” of more than 76 countries is being systematically attacked by arbitrary, illegal, and cruel sanctions imposed by wealthy nations. “Those sanctions are weapons of economic warfare,” he said on behalf of the Group of Friends in Defense of the United Nations Charter during the first observance of the International Day against Unilateral Coercitive Measures. The Venezuelan official highlighted the intentional coincidence of the date (Dec. 4) with the anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to Development

Urgent Actions: On December 6, March Against A US War On Venezuela

December 5, 2025 The Peoples Forum, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
22 years after the US went to war in Iraq based on lies, the Trump administration is preparing a major war against Venezuela. We must act now to stop this war before it starts. Today, Trump promised land strikes would begin “very soon,” has called for its airspace to be “closed,” and terminated negotiations with Venezuela’s government. These are all the signs of a full-scale regime change operation, which would be a catastrophe for the region.  The Trump Administration's repeated strikes in the Caribbean have shocked the world as brazen violations of international law.

The Double Tap On Venezuela

December 5, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The first United States SEAL Team 6 air strike on a boat allegedly engaged in Venezuelan drug trafficking took place on September 2, 2025. All 11 people on board were killed. The Trump administration gleefully released video of the attack and exulted in its deadly success. Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, bragged that he watched the air strike live and added, “We knew exactly who was in that boat.” Now, a U.S. aircraft carrier strike force sits off the coast of Venezuela. Trump has declared Venezuela a “no-fly zone,” and U.S. radar systems have been installed in neighboring Trinidad and Tobago.

US State Department Travel Warning On Venezuela

December 5, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Antiwar.com. , , , , ,
Following his earlier threat that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s days are numbered, US President Donald Trump announced on social media he was closing Venezuelan airspace. He then immodestly proclaimed the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine, commending his nineteenth century predecessor for presciently envisioning “a superpower unlike anything the world had ever known.” On December 3, the US State Department followed suit by issuing an updated Venezuela Travel Advisory. The document is a masterpiece of geopolitical creative writing, where the main export of Venezuela is not oil but existential dread.

US Lawmakers File Resolution To Block Trump’s War In Venezuela

December 4, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
US lawmakers filed a resolution on 3 December that would block a US military attack on Venezuela unless it can win congressional approval. The move, initiated by a group of Democratic and Republican Senators, came in response to repeated statements by US President Donald Trump in recent days claiming that a land invasion of the Latin American nation to combat drug traffickers would begin “very soon.” The president claims, without evidence, that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro heads a criminal cartel trafficking drugs by boat to the US.

CARICOM Nations Must Defy Trump’s Illegal No-Fly Zone

December 3, 2025 By Organization for the Victory of the People, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) condemns Donald Trump’s latest moves in his war games off the coast of Venezuela. First, he declared the CIA created “Cartel de los Soles” a terrorist organization and the greatest terrorist threat to the world”, and second, he illegally and unilaterally declared the airspace over Venezuela closed. He has no authority to do this, and in the absence of any institution capable of enforcing international war, we call on CARICOM and countries across the Caribbean, Central and South America to break this no-fly zone immediately.

Trump Commands Venezuela’s Heavens Closed

December 1, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
US President Trump ordered the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela “closed in its entirety” on November 29. Yet the US has as much legal and moral authority to shutter the skies over Venezuela as the Venezuelans have to close the putting greens at Mar-a-Lago. Yes, that’s ridiculous – but not any more so than Washington’s phony pretext of drug interdiction for their deadly regime-change offensive against Venezuela. To date, the Yankee military has murdered over 80 people in alleged “drug boats” in the southern Caribbean and eastern Pacific but has yet to confiscate a single milligram of narcotics from Venezuela. The Venezuelan authorities, in contrast, have seized 64 tons of cocaine this year that were being transited through their country and have done so without killing a single person.

The Spirit Of Chavismo: Why Trump Must Not Invade Venezuela

December 1, 2025 Peter McLaren, LA Progressive. , , ,
In his excellent and provocative article, Roger D. Harris posed the following question in a recent edition of LA Progressive: Will the U.S. Attack Venezuela? His essay served as a warning, a fiery herald no eye could ignore. I do not rise to echo that caution across the void; I come to bear witness, a sentinel tracing its contours through time. I write from the memory of a land that invited me to bring a Freirean-style pedagogy to various sectors of the country, a los bosques, campos, tierras de cultivo y barrios de Venezuela.

Trump Attempts To ‘Close’ Venezuela’s Airspace With Imaginary Decree

November 30, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
In a bizarre social media post on Saturday, November 29, US President Donald Trump issued a warning amid escalating military action and pressure on Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro: “To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety.” This unprecedented attempt at an air blockade is another step in the escalating aggression that Washington is carrying out against Venezuela. However, experts in international law emphasize that Trump does not have the authority to close the airspace of another sovereign country, as that power belongs solely to the state that exercises sovereignty over its territory or to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

President Maduro Proposes Commune-Based Electoral System

November 29, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
President Nicolás Maduro visited the Simón Bolívar Socialist Commune in Caracas’s 23 de Enero parish Thursday, where he praised Venezuela’s communal democracy as direct and real and called for a new electoral system rooted in the communes. He announced that “starting with the next popular consultation, in addition to the prizes for the most active communes, the most-voted communal circuit in each state will automatically have all seven projects submitted by the community approved”—meaning they will receive state funding.

Illegal Orders, Liberal Hypocrisy, And Fake Outrage

November 28, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
A group of six United States senators and members of congress recently released a 90-second video in which they assert that members of the military can and in fact should refuse to carry out orders that are illegal. Article 92 in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) states that lawful orders must be obeyed and unlawful orders should not be carried out. While the assertion should not be controversial, the question of what is lawful or unlawful is not always clear. Military service personnel are at great personal risk should they attempt to make the distinction themselves.
