"Venezuela Trap Backfires –
Washington is Bankrupt & Defenseless"
"Washington elites are celebrating the arrest of Nicolás Maduro as a victory, erroneously believing that decapitating the regime will force the entire state to submit to US will. True power in Venezuela does not rest with Washington-approved figures like Edmundo González, but with Vladimir Padrino López and the military, who remain loyal to the system that fed them.
Despite claims that the US intends to "run" Venezuela, the administration lacks the necessary "boots on the ground" and industrial capacity to sustain an occupation in such vast terrain. The current strategy ignores logistics and reality: the US is financially exhausted and printing money to fund a blockade, while rivals like Russia and China operate defense plants 24/7. This intervention is explicitly about "reclaiming American oil interests," yet the political class fails to understand that oil rigs cannot operate in a sabotaged war zone.
US strikes have already resulted in civilian casualties, creating a martyr dynamic and sowing generational hatred similar to the aftermaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. Threatening Colombia’s Gustavo Petro pushes a regional partner away and risks triggering a massive migration wave that will overwhelm the US Southern Border. Washington has not created a partner in Delcy Rodríguez but has solidified a hostile leadership class that views the US action as barbarity. There is no post-war plan or exit strategy; the operation creates a chaotic power vacuum and a migration crisis that the US cannot manage, prioritizing foreign conflict over domestic stability."

"Amb. Chas Freeman:
Attack On Venezuela Will Destroy The US Empire"
"Can a superpower simply kidnap a foreign leader and charge them with possessing weapons on their own soil? Now that the U.S. has effectively "caught the car" in Venezuela, is there any road left for international law, or have we fully entered the era of the outlaw state? To make sense of this unprecedented aggression, I brought back Ambassador Chas Freeman. As a former Assistant Secretary of Defense and Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Chas has seen the machinery of empire from the inside, and his assessment of this latest intervention - and the constitutional crisis accompanying it - is as chilling as it is essential."

"China VS U.S. Over Maduro: Beijing Orders
Washington to Release Maduro; Warns Trump of Consequences"
"China issues its strongest rebuke yet after the capture of Nicolás Maduro, warning that no nation has the right to police the world. Beijing’s remarks sharply challenge U.S. intervention and signal rising global tensions over Venezuela. Foreign Minister Wang Yi, speaking in Beijing, rejected any “world policeman” role, stressing sovereignty under international law. His comments followed images of Maduro detained and now held in New York on U.S. charges."
