In the early hours of January 3, U.S. forces carried out a large-scale military operation in Caracas, bombing multiple sites in an effort to impose regime change. The operation culminated in the kidnapping of Venezuela\u2019s democratically elected president, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, and First Lady Cilia Flores. Venezuelan authorities have confirmed multiple fatalities, including civilians and members of the armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This direct assault on a sovereign nation, carried out without a declaration of war or Congressional authorization, represents an unprecedented violation of international law. Within a long history of U.S. illegal interventions and military overreach, the operation in Caracas stands as a precedent-setting act aligned with the logic of the Monroe Doctrine and Washington\u2019s renewed push to subordinate Latin America and the Caribbean to its global objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These actions reflect the United States\u2019 increasingly militaristic and hyper-imperialist orientation and must be treated with the utmost seriousness. They signal what undeterred U.S. power is both capable of and willing to do. While calls for United Nations intervention are justified, relying on such action ignores the institution\u2019s demonstrated inability to halt U.S.-backed atrocities, most recently the genocide in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witnessing these events is insufficient. What is required now is urgent action and unity among all forces committed to defending sovereignty, to resist this pursuit of hegemony by any means necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
