Venezuela’s interim government says it is united behind Maduro after his U.S. capture, and that’s where we start, isn’t it? It seems like a lot of people, myself included, are scratching their heads about this whole situation. The official line is that the “interim government” is backing Maduro after his capture by the US. But is that what’s actually happening? This whole thing feels… complicated, to say the least. It’s hard to ignore the feeling that something more is going on beneath the surface, that the narrative being presented publicly might not be the whole truth.
Considering the supposed aim of removing Maduro, it seems odd that the “interim government” would publicly express its support.… Continue reading
Following the extraction of Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces, Venezuela’s military recognized Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as the acting leader, appointed by the Supreme Court for 90 days.

Maduro, along with his wife, arrived in New York to face federal charges, while the Venezuelan Defense Minister reported casualties from the U.S. operation and urged citizens to resume normal activities.

It immediately brings to mind the chaotic and shifting sands of the political landscape, and the assumptions that were quickly made about the future of Venezuela following the recent developments.

Pope Leo calls for Venezuela to remain an independent country. It seems like the core message here is that the Pope wants Venezuela to retain its sovereignty. This isn’t about annexing the country or changing its borders; it’s about ensuring Venezuela remains in control of its own destiny. The Pope, in his statement, is emphasizing the importance of “overcoming violence and embarking on paths of justice and peace” while safeguarding Venezuela’s independence. This resonates with the idea of self-determination, which means the right of a people to choose their own form of government and control their own affairs without outside interference.… Continue reading

She asserted that the American people did not support this and were tired of being lied to, emphasizing that the focus should be on lowering costs, enforcing the rule of law, and strengthening alliances. Harris also highlighted the lack of a legal basis, an exit plan, or domestic benefits resulting from the operation.

This new doctrine, foreshadowed in the National Security Strategy, aims to assert American dominance in the Western Hemisphere, ensuring stability and discouraging migration to the U.S. The “Donroe Doctrine” prioritizes controlling America’s sphere of influence and supporting conservative figures. Maduro was apprehended during “Operation Absolute Resolve,” a meticulously planned military operation involving over 150 U.S. aircraft and ground forces.

She believes that Venezuela is not part of America’s immediate concerns, and that the U.S. government should focus on domestic affairs. Greene, who has since resigned from Congress, has previously voiced disagreements with Trump on international relations and other policies, highlighting her concerns about the direction of the “America First” platform.

Following the unauthorized invasion of Venezuela, speculation is rampant regarding the next target of the Trump administration. Katie Miller, wife of a top Trump aide, hinted at Greenland as the next objective, superimposing a U.S. flag on a map of the Danish territory. Trump’s interest in Greenland, fueled by its mineral resources, has been expressed previously, including considering a “Compact of Free Association” or even outright purchase.
