Veterans, Activists Protest Air Command Center Against War On Venezuela

November 15, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Tucson, AZ – Three progressive Veterans organizations and others joined the Tucson Anti-War Committee outside the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base on Veterans Day, November 11, to protest the Trump administration’s war escalations on Venezuela. The group of nearly two dozen protesters received many more supportive honks from passing cars than in previous years – a sign that the tide has shifted as more Americans are fed up with the endless war machine. With signs reading “No blood for oil” and “Hands off Venezuela,” the group heard from veterans and anti-war organizers.

Chaos: The Trump Doctrine For Latin America

November 14, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
The US, under Trump, is unapologetically an empire operating without pretense. International law is for losers. A newly minted War Department, deploying the most lethal killing machine in world history, need not hide behind the sham of promoting democracy. Recall that in 2023 Trump boasted: “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil.” As CEO of the capitalist bloc, Trump’s mission is not about to be restrained by respect for sovereignty. There is only one inviolate global sovereign; all others are subalterns. Venezuela – with our oil under its soil – is now in the crosshairs of the empire.

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

November 14, 2025 Megan Russell and Michelle Ellner, Counter Punch. , , ,
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.

Machado Offers To Sell $1.7 Trillion Of Venezuela’s Assets To US Corporations

November 13, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
María Corina Machado is a far-right Venezuelan coup leader who has been funded by the US government since at least 2003. The Donald Trump administration is waging war on Venezuela, and if it can succeed in overthrowing the leftist government of President Nicolás Maduro, Machado would help to lead the new pro-US regime in Caracas. Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, despite the fact that she openly supports Trump’s war on her country. She has for years called for a US military intervention to violently topple President Maduro.

‘Regime Change’ In Venezuela: A Euphemism For US-Inflicted Carnage

November 12, 2025 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Antiwar.com. , , ,
For decades, Washington has sold the world a deadly lie: that “regime change” brings freedom, that U.S. bombs and blockades can somehow deliver democracy. But every country that has lived through this euphemism knows the truth – it instead brings death, dismemberment, and despair. Now that the same playbook is being dusted off for Venezuela, the parallels with Iraq and other U.S. interventions are an ominous warning of what could follow. As a U.S. armada gathers off Venezuela, a U.S. special operations aviation unit aboard one of the warships has been flying helicopter patrols along the coast.

Caribbean Leaders Call For Unified Resistance To US Attacks

November 9, 2025 Michael Fox, Truthout. , , , , ,
The tiny Caribbean island nation of Barbados — with a population roughly the size of Anchorage, Alaska, or Lincoln, Nebraska — might not be the country one would first imagine taking the lead to stand up to U.S. military actions and ambitions in the region. But as the Trump administration continues to attack boats, first in the Caribbean Sea and now in the Pacific, leaders in Barbados have been vocal. “As a small state, we have invested tremendous time and energy and effort in establishing and maintaining our region as a zone of peace,” Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said at a conference in late October.

United States Military Executes Five More Civilians

November 8, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The US military has carried out two more lethal strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific this week, executing five civilians and bringing its total number of extrajudicial killings in the region to 69. On Thursday, November 6, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a deadly attack on a small boat in the Caribbean that resulted in three deaths. This follows his announcement on Wednesday, November 5, of another strike that killed two individuals. “Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization,” Hegseth wrote on social media. He used the same template to confess to these crimes in both reports.

The US Continues Its Attempt To Overthrow The Bolivarian Revolution

November 7, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , , ,
Since early September, the United States has given every indication that it could be preparing for a military assault on Venezuela. Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research partnered with ALBA Movimientos, the International Peoples’ Assembly, No Cold War, and the Simón Bolívar Institute to produce red alert no. 20, ‘The Empire’s Dogs Are Barking at Venezuela’, on the potential scenarios and implications of US intervention. In February 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez travelled to Havana to receive the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s José Martí Prize from Fidel Castro. In his speech, he likened Washington’s threats against Venezuela to dogs barking, saying, ‘Let the dogs bark, because it is a sign that we are on the move’.

The New US-Russia Clash In Latin America

November 7, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , , , ,
Pushback from Latin American leaders are putting a wrench in the works of Donald Trump’s imperial ambitions. The Summit of the Americas– the U.S.-backed conference of regional leaders– has had to be cancelled (or, officially, postponed until 2026) due to threats of a mass boycott of the event. Leading this revolt are Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, who both declared they would skip the event in protest of the U.S. treatment of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. With the summit promising to be a public relations disaster, the U.S. ordered it cancelled.

VIPS Memo: What Wider War In Venezuela Would Bring

November 6, 2025 Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, Consortium News. , , , , ,
We are deeply concerned about where the United States seems to be headed in its Venezuela policy and urge you to demand that the Intelligence Community give you clear, unfiltered, “truth-to-power” analysis, as well as covert action options in Venezuela. Flying blind into an unprovoked war against a Latin American government, even one weakened by years of U.S. “maximum-pressure” sanctions, risks a conflagration that could draw Russia into the conflict and offers zero probability of establishing a legitimate, pro-U.S. successor government. We see a classic storm of politicization brewing in the Intelligence Community, to which we devoted our careers, as a result of blatant pressures that it give you the “right” answer – fabricating or exaggerating a pretext for direct military intervention in Venezuela.

Summit Of The Americas Derailed Due To Tensions Caused By US

November 5, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic announced on Monday that the 10th Summit of the Americas, scheduled for early December, has been postponed due to deep regional differences that are hindering discussions. A new date was not provided. According to a statement, the decision followed a “detailed analysis of the political and social situation in the region” and was “reached in consensus with key partners, including the United States, the forum’s main driving force,” along with the secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), who supported the postponement.

Fentanyl Gets Cheaper, Venezuelans Get Bombed

November 5, 2025 Gloria Guillo, LA Progressive. , , ,
In October 2025, the United States cut a deal with China to reduce tariffs on imports tied to fentanyl — the synthetic opioid responsible for more than 70,000 U.S. overdose deaths annually. The tariff on these imports was lowered from 20% to 10% after a meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea, in which China agreed to work very hard to curb fentanyl related exports into the U.S. At almost the exact same time, the U.S. military was conducting lethal strikes on alleged drug-smuggling vessels off the coast of Venezuela — firing missiles into wooden boats and declaring victory in the war on drugs.

Venezuela’s Militias And The Civil-Military Union

November 4, 2025 Ria Evelyn, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
The ideological basis of our militias is rooted in anti-colonial struggle. Resistance to Spanish conquest in the 16th century was led by Aboriginal peoples. The form of social organisation of our indigenous peoples was not a pyramid-type hierarchical order with a single chief – we had many chiefs – so Spanish colonisers found they could not dismantle the entire social, political and military structures of our society by killing the head of a pyramid. Our chiefs organised resistance, including the great indigenous leaders Great Cacique Guaicaipuro and Great Cacia Uriquia, forming liberation movements which continued until the independence era.

Venezuela: On Maximum Alert… But Without Alarmism

November 4, 2025 Clovaldo Hernandez, Resumen English. , , ,
Today, in any Venezuelan city, one might suddenly see a military convoy carrying equipment and weapons generally only seen during national celebrations such as June 24 or July 5. Yet what stands out most is not the vehicles or the weaponry, but the people operating and accompanying them: a diverse mix of soldiers and civilians. This is not the classic mobilization of professional troops or conscripts seen in most parades or training maneuvers. Alongside the officers and enlisted personnel march militia members—civilians with some military training—as well as recently enlisted citizens, many of them still in civilian clothes, experiencing for the first time what it is like to ride in a combat vehicle or a Chinese-made Beiben 6×6 truck.

No War On Venezuela: Week Of Coordinated Protests – Nov. 15 To 23

November 1, 2025 United National Antiwar Coalition. , , ,
The US military is hurrying its aircraft carrier battle group, with destroyers, jet warplanes and nuclear submarines to the shores of Venezuela, while threatening Colombia and massing U.S. troops in the Caribbean. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is calling for the military overthrow of President Maduro in Venezuela and the replacement of President Petro in Colombia.  This is a build-up to another endless U.S. war – a war to militarize the whole Western Hemisphere. Meanwhile the use of Federal troops and thousands of ICE agents in raids and mass arrests, along with massive increases in health costs and cuts to government services, are an attack on all working people in the U.S.
