US Deploys Aircraft Carrier And Threatens Invasion Of Venezuela

October 26, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , ,
As the US continues to escalate threats and military pressure against Venezuela and now Colombia as well. On Friday, October 24, “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth announced the deployment of aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), to the Caribbean. The most capable and lethal strike platform in the world adds to the already massive military buildup in the Caribbean of 10,000 US troops, at least eight war ships, P-8 surveillance planes, and F-35 jets deployed amid the Trump administration’s alleged counter-narcotics operations. US troops are also reportedly deploying to Trinidad and Tobago, mere miles from Venezuela, for five days of coordinated “military exercises”.

The Imperialist Offensive Is Nothing New For The Bolivarian Revolution

October 26, 2025 Cira Pasqual Marquina, Venezuelanaysis. , , , ,
In recent months, Washington has stepped up its military presence in the Caribbean, sending warships, aircraft, and even a nuclear submarine to waters near Venezuela amid extrajudicial attacks on fishing vessels. For many, this new phase of aggression is all too familiar — part of a decades-long campaign of hybrid warfare designed to undermine Venezuela’s sovereignty. In this context, Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Ana Maldonado, a sociologist, international relations coordinator for the Francisco de Miranda Front—a national Chavista movement—and member of the Venezuelan chapter of ALBA Movements. In this interview, Maldonado offers her perspective on how Venezuelans are experiencing the latest imperialist escalation, reflects on the country’s long resistance to hybrid war.

No To A US War On Venezuela!

October 25, 2025 Tim Young, Stop the War. , , , ,
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’

October 25, 2025 José Luis Granados Ceja, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
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.”

How General Soleimani Cemented Venezuela-Iran Anti-Imperialist Alliance

October 23, 2025 Musa Iqbal, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
This solidarity, forged in the people’s common struggle against Western sanctions and military aggression, combined with a history of resilience against invaders, represents a strategic partnership that transcends geographical and cultural divides. Both nations, rich in natural resources yet burdened by external pressures that seek to dominate them, have cultivated a relationship that encompasses economic cooperation, military collaboration, and diplomatic support. From joint ventures in energy to coordinated efforts in international forums, the Iran-Venezuela partnership exemplifies a broader trend of South-South cooperation, a shift that is rapidly challenging American hegemony.

Due Process And Trump-Ordered Murder

October 23, 2025 Andrew P. Napolitano, Consortium News. , , , ,
President Donald Trump’s use of the U.S. military to kill persons on speed boats in international waters, or in territorial waters claimed by other sovereign nations — all 1,500 miles from the U.S. — has posed grave issues of due process. The U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of due process requires it for every person, not just Americans. The operative language of the Fifth Amendment is that “No person … shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” The Trump administration has claimed that it can kill whomever it designates as an unlawful enemy combatant — it prefers the political phrase “narco-terrorist” — and the due process it provides is the intelligence gathered by American spies and the White House analysis of that intelligence.

Trump: US Strikes On Alleged Drug Shipments On ‘Land’ Are Coming Soon

October 23, 2025 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , , ,
President Trump on Wednesday suggested that US strikes on alleged drug shipments “on land” could be coming soon amid the US bombing campaign targeting boats in Latin America. Trump has made similar comments before, and according to multiple media reports, the US is preparing to bomb Venezuela with the goal of ousting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and is using cracking down on drug trafficking as a pretext. The president claimed to reporters at the White House that he had “legal authority” to launch the strikes, but Congress hasn’t authorized the bombing campaign, which the Constitution requires for launching a war.

Puerto Rico As A Launchpad For War On Venezuela

October 23, 2025 Michelle Ellner, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
When President Trump announced that the CIA had been authorized to conduct operations inside Venezuela, just as US drones struck another small boat off Venezuela’s coast, few people in the United States realized that much of this militarization begins on the soil of a land denied its own sovereignty: Puerto Rico. The island that has lived under US rule since 1898 is once again being used as a staging ground for US militarism, this time for Washington’s latest “war on drugs” narrative, masking a campaign of coercion against Latin America’s independent governments.

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

October 22, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
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.”

As Trump Wages War On The Caribbean, Its Peoples Rise To Defend Peace

October 21, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
Two Trinidadian fishermen were among the six victims of the US military’s fifth airstrike on a boat in the Caribbean. The White House again claims the boat was linked to drug trafficking, but has not provided evidence. Since the October 14 attack, Trump has confirmed three other strikes, raising the death count of what many are calling “extrajudicial killings” of Caribbean people by the US to at least 30, since the aggression began in September. Lenore Burnley, the mother of one of the Trinidadian victims, identified as Chad Joseph, assured local media outlet Guardian News that her son was not involved in drugs.

Trump Orders CIA To Attack Venezuela

October 20, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , ,
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

October 20, 2025 Maria Paez Victor, Counter Punch. , , ,
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

October 20, 2025 Brasil De Fato, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
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.

US Repatriates Survivors Of Its Latest Boat Attack In The Caribbean

October 19, 2025 Ultimas Noticias, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
For the first time since the US began extrajudicially bombing boats in Venezuelan waters this year,  a US military attack did not result in the deaths of all crew members. It was reported that there were two survivors after the bombing of what the US called a “drug boat” without providing evidence. The incident comes amid an ongoing US military escalation in the Caribbean targeting Venezuela, under the guise of a supposed anti-drugs operation. The illegal US military actions in the international waters close to Venezuela, which include blowing up of civilian boats, have left almost 30 people dead in since early September, with no evidence presented of the victims’ alleged ties to drug trafficking. These actions are part of a U.S. military expansion in the southern Caribbean, with destroyers, F-35 fighter jets, a nuclear submarine, and some 10,000 troops deployed.

Nobel War Prize

October 18, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Alfred Nobel’s will spelled out how he wanted to honor those who are accomplished in the fields of medicine, literature, physics, chemistry, and “the person who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses.” While Nobel’s wishes would seem to be clear, the Nobel Peace Prize is rarely awarded to anyone who actually works for peace as Nobel described. There are many worthy people and organizations who have carried out good deeds for humanity, but few of the winners have actually been peacemakers.
