Wars and Militarism

Power Play In Kiev And Chaos At The Front

November 20, 2025 Moon Of Alabama. , , ,
The situation in Ukraine is becoming even more complicated. The war on the frontline is going bad for Ukraine as is the war on infrastructure deep behind the contact line. A corruption scandal is used to neuter President Zelenski. New power structures are set to evolve to further the execution of the war. President Trump is attempting to impose another peace effort while Europe finds that it lacks the money to finance Ukraine and the war. There are at least seven cities which are falling or are destined to fall within the next few month.

The Masses Build And Sustain A Zone Of Peace Through Unity Of Struggles

November 19, 2025 Clau O'Brien Moscoso, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
On November 8-9, 2025, the social component of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) met in Santa Marta, Colombia, as the CELAC-EU Summit took place on November 9-10. The purpose of the CELAC-EU Summit was to enhance strategic cooperation between Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union in a time of heightened United States militarism targeting the Bolivarian peoples of Venezuela and now Colombia. A major theme of the summit was the unique geostrategic and historic role that Latin America and the Caribbean as a region have in the creation and strengthening of a multipolar world free of the dictates of the over 200-year-old Monroe Doctrine.

Activists Mobilize Across The Americas To Demand ‘Hands Off Venezuela’

November 16, 2025 Resist US-Led War, Popular Resistance. , , ,
The US military has extrajudicially killed 80 people in 20 strikes that have destroyed 21 boats, in aerial strikes off the coast of Venezuela. With outrage in response to these murders and significant U.S. military buildup near Venezuela, an urgent and coordinated week of action for Venezuela from November 15-23 started yesterday, with over 50 actions across the US and a growing international response. The demonstrations, organized by over 35 organizations forming a rapid response network, are demanding no war on Venezuela, the withdrawal of the U.S. military from the Caribbean, and the establishment of a "Zone of Peace" across the hemisphere.

US Escalates Caribbean Destabilization With 20th Strike

November 16, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
The US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced a new “lethal kinetic strike” against a small boat in the Caribbean, the 20th of its kind to date. Although the announcement was made on Friday, November 14, it reportedly occurred on November 10, four days earlier. These “strikes” have been labeled as extrajudicial execution by the United Nations, “At the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization,” reads the statement accompanying the video of the strike that the SOUTHCOM posted on social media.

What Is Really Happening In Venezuela?

November 15, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , ,
Venezuela is very divided politically, but in general, the Bolivarian Revolution initiated by previous President Hugo Chávez and continued by current President Nicolás Maduro still has a lot of support from poor and working-class Venezuelans. Most rich people and elites are pro-US and anti-government. Many of them have left the country, but there are still some in Venezuela (especially in wealthy areas like Chacao). In Venezuela, most people are tired of political conflict and violence, and they simply want stability. The right-wing opposition does not have many active supporters inside the country. Whenever they try to hold a protest, only a few hundred people show up.

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.

Let The Sudanese People Walk Toward Peace

November 14, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
In early November, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres addressed the ‘horrifying crisis in Sudan, which is spiralling out of control’. He urged the warring parties to ‘bring an end to this nightmare of violence – now’. There is a path to end the war, but there is simply no political will to enforce it. In May 2025, we wrote about the history of the conflict. In 2019, we explained the uprising that took place that year as well as its aftermath. Now, from Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, the International Peoples’ Assembly, and Pan Africanism Today, comes red alert no. 21 on the need for peace in Sudan.

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.

Al-Qaeda Goes To Washington

November 12, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , , , , , ,
I never thought I would see the day, but the day came Monday, when Ahmed al–Sharaa arrived at the White House for a sit-down with President Donald Trump and the usual gaggle of misfits who must be there to make sure the Trumpster understands at least a little of what is being said. A freak-show terrorist amid all that retro Oval Office elegance: Who could have imagined so offensive a tableau? Al–Sharaa, alert readers will know, is one of those dripping-with-blood Sunni jihadists who, during the West’s extended covert operation against the Assad regime in Syria, had the habit of changing their names and the names of their murderous militias whenever the world figured out who they were and the extent of their savagery.

‘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.

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’.

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.

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.

US Issues ‘Final Warning’ To Baghdad Over Iraqi Resistance Factions

November 3, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The US has issued its “final” and “most serious” warning to Iraq regarding the Iran-linked resistance factions in the country, according to Iraqi Defense Minister Thabit al-Abbasi. Abbasi said in an interview over the weekend that Washington’s latest message “concerns armed factions and includes a direct threat in the event that those factions carry out any operations in response to what Washington intends to do in the region near Iraq in the coming days.” No further details were provided on what exactly these US operations would entail. The minister said the message was relayed during a call with US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Hegseth ended the call by saying "This is your final warning... and you know very well how the current administration will respond," Abbasi went on to say.
