US Blockades Venezuela In War Still Searching For An Official Rationale

December 20, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Blockade, Trump Administration, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

In our Donald-in-Wonderland world, the US is at war with Venezuela while still grasping for a public rationale. The horrific human toll is real – over a 100,000 fatalities from illegal sanctions and over a hundred from more recent “kinetic strikes.” Yet the officially stated justification for the US empire’s escalating offensive remains elusive. The empire once spun its domination as “democracy promotion.” Accordingly, State Department stenographers such as The Washington Post framed the US-backed coup in Venezuela – which temporarily overthrew President Hugo Chávez – as an attempt to “restore a legitimate democracy.”

Trump: Who Will Put The Bell On The Cat?

Trump, the president of the most capitalist nation on Earth, has dealt a blow to the very system upon which his country—and indeed, most of the West—considers the bedrock of the economy, a blow that not even the most revolutionary person today would have foretold or thought to achieve. He has trashed the notion of private property and outright stolen a full oil tanker in international waters, like a modern pirate, and kidnapped its crew. Since September, mighty US navy warships obliterated, with military missiles, 22 small outboard motorboats (mostly in the Caribbean but some in the Pacific), killing at least 87 people.

Veterans For Peace Condemns Trump’s Illegal War On Venezuela

Veterans For Peace unequivocally rejects the Trump administration’s escalating attacks and threats of war against Venezuela. The U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and President Trump’s unilateral declaration of a naval blockade of Venezuela and closure of its air space constitute a brazen escalation of military aggression and a violation of both the U.S. Constitution and international law. The U.S. has continually attacked Venezuela since the inception of the Bolivarian Revolution a quarter-century ago. In 2002, a U.S.-backed military coup temporarily ousted then President Hugo Chávez before the Venezuelan people rose up and reinstated him.

Trump Admits He Wants To Take Venezuela’s Oil

Donald Trump has openly admitted that he wants to take Venezuela’s oil. Top US officials have made it clear that this is a key reason for their war on the South American nation. Trump declared an illegal naval blockade of Venezuela on December 16. The US government aims to prevent Venezuela from selling oil to China, to starve Caracas of export revenue. The Trump administration is also illegally blocking Venezuela from importing crucial goods, including the light crude and chemicals needed to process and refine its own heavy crude.

In an escalation of the US empire’s ongoing illegal sanctions on Venezuela, US President Donald Trump has announced a “full blockade” of the sovereign nation and its oil tanker fleet. He claimed the measure would remain in place until Venezuela “returns all the oil, land, and other assets” he alleged were previously stolen from the US. The announcement ignited an immediate response from the Venezuelan government, followed by all state institutions and international allies. “Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump wrote on social media this Tuesday, December 16, adding that “it will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before.”

Bill To Block Trump From Launching War With Venezuela Fails

The House on Wednesday voted down a War Powers Resolution meant to block President Trump from launching a war with Venezuela without congressional authorization, as required by the Constitution. The bill failed in a vote of 211-213, with nine representatives not voting. Just three Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the bill: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), and Don Bacon (NE). One Democrat, Henry Cuellar (TX), voted against the legislation. The legislation would have directed the president to remove “United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.”

The US military carried out an airstrike targeting several alleged drug-trafficking boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean late on 15 December, killing eight people just hours after US President Donald Trump announced that Washington is officially declaring Fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). The army’s Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said it bombed “designated terrorist organizations” with “lethal kinetic strikes.” SOUTHCOM added that eight were killed – “Three in the first vessel, two in the second, and three in the third.”

At Army–Navy Game, Activists Confront Trump Over Venezuela

Baltimore, Dec. 13 — Activists shifted the spotlight from the pageantry of the Army–Navy game, using Donald Trump’s attendance as a platform to center a powerful demand: “No war on Venezuela.” Hundreds lined the streets outside the stadium where Trump was scheduled to appear, unfurling banners that read, “No war on Venezuela and Palestine” and “No to ICE — Money for jobs, education, and health care.” Andrew Matatag, representing the publication Struggle-La Lucha, drew a sharp contrast. “Almost every police agency on record — from the Secret Service to Homeland Security — is amassed here today to protect Trump,” he said.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro recently highlighted the role of the National Council for Productive Economy in driving the growth of a new, self-sustaining economy. During a meeting on Friday, December 13, which brought together the government, the banking sector, and representatives of the country’s main business chambers, he presented the year-end gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast of 9%, surpassing the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) projections and marking 18 consecutive quarters of sustained economic growth.

How The US Empire Creates Chaos To Disrupt Multipolarity

With the return of Donald Trump for his second term, diplomacy increasingly resembles a battlefield, rather than a paved road to cooperation, development, and peace. This is not a problem of one US president, but rather the process of internal decomposition of the US empire, which is seeing its hegemony weakened, and is losing its capacity for influence, the possibility of controlling discourse, and its military supremacy. Therefore, it has to resort to the use of coercive power to try to preserve the geopolitical space it has had until now, because moving toward the globalized world and the world government it proposed at the end of the 20th century does not seem to be an option today.

Afrodescendants: Casting Off Illusions, Preparing For Struggle

The Afro-Venezuelan Organizations Network (ROA) and the Regional Articulation of Afrodescendants of Latin America and the Caribbean (ARAAC), Afrodescendant organizations born from anti-imperialist social change processes and anti-neocolonial struggles at the dawn of the twenty-first century, carry the dignity and sovereignty that our African Ancestors entrusted to us as a living imprint of the self-determination of peoples. Latin America and the Caribbean have suffered, throughout the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, invasions, territorial dispossession, and targeted assassinations of Latin American and Afrodescendant leaders.

Puerto Rico, US Imperialism And Venezuela’s Defiant Sovereignty

December 14, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. Resist! Puerto Rico, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Venezuela

As the United States reasserts its hemispheric priorities in its recent National Security Strategy document, Latin America and the Caribbean are once again cast as a zone of interest, with Venezuela squarely in Washington’s sights. Puerto Rico—still a US colony more than a century after the 1898 invasion—plays a central role in this imperial architecture, serving as both a military platform and a living example of colonial rule in the region. Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Puerto Rican geographer, author, and longtime activist Déborah Berman Santana about the continuity of US imperialism, the island’s strategic function in projecting imperialist military power in the region, and why Venezuela’s insistence on sovereignty represents such a profound threat to US interests.

Who’s The Dictator? Venezuela’s Maduro Or Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

December 13, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Democracy, Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Peace Prize, Propaganda, Ukraine, US Imperialism, US Regime Change, Venezuela

Within the narrow spectrum of establishment punditry, “dictator” functions as a term of opprobrium reserved for governments Washington designates as enemies. By this measure, Maduro is cast as the dictator, while Zelenskyy is sanctified as democratic. Ronald Reagan’s UN ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, wrote about a democracy “double standard” in 1979. A Democrat turned anti-communist neoconservative, she formulated a convenient rhetorical distinction. The so-called Kirkpatrick Doctrine supported “authoritarian” traditional dictatorships and opposed leftist “totalitarian regimes.”

President Maduro Calls US Seizure Of Oil Tanker Act Of Piracy

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro described the detention of an oil tanker seized by US military personnel in the Caribbean Sea on Wednesday as an act of piracy. On Thursday night, he reported that the crew was abducted and is missing, a circumstance referred to in human rights terms as a forced disappearance. “Yesterday, they committed an absolutely criminal and illegal act when they carried out a military assault, kidnapping, and robbery—like pirates of the Caribbean—of a merchant, commercial, civilian, private vessel. A vessel of peace, which was attacked as it was about to enter the Atlantic, not off the coast of Venezuela.
