El Chavismo includes breathing. While the US government oscillates between ambiguity and threat, Venezuelan power lives in the face of a possible US attack. President Donald Trump’s new declaration, without disclosing its content, ensured that a decision was taken this month on the next phase of military operations in the Caribbean, sparking fresh alarm within his administration. President Nicolas Maduro is convinced that the United States is trying to end this Gaza, trying to decipher what the next move of Casablanca’s unpredictable tenant will be, and warning in the future against Venezuela becoming “the Gaza of South America.” The administration denounced the “war-like escalation” and warned that Washington was trying to force conflict in the region.
“I’ve made a decision…I can’t say what it is, but we’re making great progress in our relationship with Venezuela, stopping the flow of drugs,” Trump told reporters on the ship. air force one. The words were mathematically imprecise, consistent with opponents’ predictions about what changes were coming, and sparked speculation. The same week, opposition leader Maria Colina Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, quietly announced that a “decisive moment” was approaching in the country. He went on to say that the transition “will be peaceful.” His prognosis appears optimistic given both countries’ rhetoric and conflict strategies.
Expert conflict analysts, such as Venezuela, interpret President Trump’s announcement as another step in a pressure strategy, but are skeptical of the possibility of an imminent attack. Either way, the consequences of this escalation are diabolical. Trump has more than 10,000 soldiers imprisoned kilometers from Maduro’s rear, but an attack could cause untold bloodshed and create a security and migration crisis in the region.
Since Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the launch of Operation Southern Lanza, a large-scale operation against narco-terrorism, Chavism has increased its messages talking of “psychological warfare,” “war escalation,” and plans to turn Venezuela into a gateway to a U.S.-UU “colonial” strategy. A statement from the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) this Saturday clarified the position of the Chavismo leadership. According to the statement, Washington seeks to “force war” in “zones of peace” in order to escalate the war “against any country that opposes its interests.” Nevertheless, Maduro, who declared himself president after the July 2024 elections without presenting the minutes certifying him, is preparing for that war. his battle with massive drunkenness;
Venezuela’s president has mobilized the Armada, Bolivarian militias and private troops on 284 fronts across his territory, from the coast to the Andean and Colombian borders. In the face of the imbalance in American military forces, this decision included deploying urban guerrillas to sabotage and create chaos to make it difficult for foreign control in the event of an attack. Additionally, President Maduro has signed a decree granting exceptional security powers, allowing him to mobilize the military across the country in case of intervention, take over control of key public services, and oversee strategic sectors such as the oil industry.
One of the aims of the US prison strategy was to break loyalty to the military, but despite weeks of massed US forces, there appears to be no sign of a break with the Chavista regime.
The policy and its tensions lie in dispatch. On the streets of Caracas, the atmosphere is completely normal. There are markets, yoga sessions, school trips, Saturdays, morning marathons, restaurant queues, police directing traffic and towing poorly parked cars.
“Invasion” as a topic of conversation exists loudly and sometimes with intrigue, but it is never believed to be a solid possibility. There are people who worry about the worst. Nadi can represent a completely unusual military event in the history and politics of this country. Nadi is able to take precautions in the face of unimaginable situations.
drug trafficking
President Trump has found a way to divert focus from domestic troubles in Venezuela, declaring himself No. 1 enemy of the drug-trafficking business that kills thousands of Americans every year. Washington has accused Maduro of belonging to the Soles cartel. Although no evidence has been presented and the organization’s existence is in doubt, it is a framework that has helped involve the organization in “international armed conflicts” against drug-trafficking cartels. This measure also legitimizes military attacks on ships not only from Venezuela in the Caribbean, but also from Colombia in the Pacific.
Since September 2 last year, the US military has bombed 20 ships suspected of transporting drugs, killing 80 people. International experts have questioned the legality of the attack, which took place in international waters. They argue that even in the case of drug boats, it would be an “extrajudicial execution” as defined by Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
As a result, Colombian President Gustavo Petro reached an unprecedented level of tension with this military escalation. Later, on the plane, President Trump mentioned Venezuela’s progress in detecting drug leaks, and then doubled down on his warning, saying, “We have a problem with Mexico. We have a problem with Colombia.” The representative called Petro a “mutton” and a “leader of drug trafficking.” Mr. Petro responds to attacks every day and has defended those killed in the bombings and those turned criminals as the weakest examples of criminal organizations.
