Sovereignty

Puerto Rico, US Imperialism And Venezuela’s Defiant Sovereignty

December 14, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
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.

Selling Out Australian Sovereignty

December 6, 2025 Peter Cronau, Consortium News. , , , , ,
Exclusive reports by Declassified Australia of at least 71 packages of F-35 fighter jet weapons parts being exported from Sydney to Israel have revealed that Australia has forfeited control over the plane’s spare parts stored here for Australia’s fleet of F-35s. Australia has signed up to a system where, at a moment’s notice, those “parts and components” may be whisked off the shelves at the RAAF Williamtown Air Base in New South Wales on the whim of a foreign state to be exported to a foreign country in a distant war zone. “What you’re probably talking about is items that Lockheed Martin imported into Australia to support the maintenance and sustainment of our fleet and then needed to move around to someone else. They are entitled to do that under the F-35 global supply chain mechanism.”

CARICOM Nations Must Defy Trump’s Illegal No-Fly Zone

December 3, 2025 By Organization for the Victory of the People, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) condemns Donald Trump’s latest moves in his war games off the coast of Venezuela. First, he declared the CIA created “Cartel de los Soles” a terrorist organization and the greatest terrorist threat to the world”, and second, he illegally and unilaterally declared the airspace over Venezuela closed. He has no authority to do this, and in the absence of any institution capable of enforcing international war, we call on CARICOM and countries across the Caribbean, Central and South America to break this no-fly zone immediately.

US Interference Threatens Electoral Integrity In Honduras

November 25, 2025 Progressive International. , , ,
As Honduras approaches its 30 November general election, troubling signs have emerged of a coordinated effort to distort, delegitimize, and ultimately interfere in the country’s sovereign democratic process. Yesterday, many Honduran political figures — including presidential candidate Salvador Nasralla and numerous members of the Honduran National Congress — attended a Western Hemisphere Subcommittee hearing in the United States Congress chaired by Representative María Elvira Salazar, a far-right proponent of US intervention in Latin America.

Israel Attacks UN Peacekeepers In Lebanon

November 20, 2025 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said in a press release on Sunday, November 16, that some of its troops were targeted by Israeli artillery shelling earlier that day inside the Lebanese territories. The peacekeeping mission clarified that its personnel escaped the offensive unharmed, after asking the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) to stop the assault through liaison channels. The UNIFIL considered the incident, which marks the third Israeli attack on its troops in the last three months, a serious violation of the Security Council resolution 1701, which was adopted in 2006 to resolve the war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Mali Defends Sovereignty Against A Western-Backed ‘Proxy War’

November 19, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Amid a barrage of media reports prophesying the fall of Mali to an Al Qaeda affiliate disrupting its fuel supply by attacking tankers, delegates from ten African countries, Iran, and Turkey attended a defense expo in the capital Bamako from November 11 to 14. The city was reported to be “under siege”, encircled by jihadists closing in on power. Some version of “Is Mali about to fall?” was a rhetorical question across headlines, while the Atlantic Council declared the country was “unraveling”. Dismissing this portrayal as a scenario “concocted in the office of foreign intelligence services”, Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop insisted that “the fate of Mali, and the destiny of the people in the West African region will not be decided” by the media.

Venezuela Demands UN Action To Halt US Military Threat

October 8, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
This Monday, Venezuelans took to the streets in great numbers from Petare, east of Caracas, toward the United Nations (UN) headquarters to chant “no to war” and to condemn constant threats from the United States and a possible US military attack against Venezuela. Upon arriving at the UN headquarters, the marchers delivered a letter asking the UN to uphold its founding Charter in the face of what many consider a US threat to Venezuela disguised as a “war on drugs.” From outside the UN resident coordinator’s office in Caracas, Pedro Infante of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) urged the international organization to ensure compliance with the principles of the Charter, especially that of “maintaining international peace.”

Trump ‘Peace Plan’ A Cynical Cover To Continue Palestinian Extermination

October 5, 2025 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
The psychopathology of the white supremacist colonial mindset renders colonial policy makers operating within that framework incapable of apprehending reality from the standpoint of the colonized.  The belief in a  Gaza “paradise” for the rich and famous, once Palestinians are paid to leave, or the idea that, after over seven hundred days of a war of extermination, where continued survival is, Palestinians would then surrender, can only be believed by individuals completely afflicted with this psychopathology. Yet, this is Trump’s 20 Point so-called peace plan, released on September 29th with indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu at his side. It is a proposal with a core demand that Palestinian resistance completely surrender to occupation— and certain annihilation.

Internal Power And External Dependency In The Recognition Of The State Of Palestine

October 1, 2025 Bikrum Gill, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , , ,
Two years on from Al Aqsa Flood, and its historic significance only deepens. The question of Palestine assuming centre stage at the 2025 UN General Assembly cannot be delinked from the crisis that Al Aqsa Flood has imposed upon zionism and the broader Western world order.[1] The prominence of Palestine at this year’s UNGA is all the more striking given that, just two years earlier, Netanyahu stood before the same body to gloat about the supposed “end” of the Palestinian question and the normalization of zionist relations with Arab states.[2] The Palestinian question at the UNGA centered, most notably, on the recognition of the State of Palestine by several major Western powers.

Recognition Of Palestine: What It Does, What It Doesn’t Do, And Why Now

September 23, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
The United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal, and Australia officially recognized the State of Palestine in a series of separate but coordinated statements on Sunday, September 21. Other European and Western nations, including France, Belgium, New Zealand, and several other key allies of Israel, are expected to join the chorus of recognitions at today’s UN General Assembly meeting in New York. The summit is based on a joint Saudi-French initiative to revive a two-state solution called “the New York Declaration,” which was first issued at a conference on September 12. The conference was boycotted by the U.S, which opposed the summit.

Latin America And The Caribbean: Sovereign Zone Or Vassal Region?

September 16, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. , , , ,
It is difficult to overstate the insanity of the ruling elites of the collective West. They have shown themselves incapable of recognizing they can no longer continue to dominate as before the governments of the majority world. For the moment, they continue acting to impose regimes that are easier to manipulate in countries susceptible to destabilization such as, in recent years, Bangladesh and now Nepal. However, in order to overthrow governments or political movements steadfast in defending the sovereignty of their countries, Western governments have had to resort to military aggression supported by regional allies and vassals, as they did successfully most recently in Syria.

National Sovereignty Is At The Root Of The Environmental Struggle In Brazil

September 16, 2025 Miguel Enrique Stedile, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
The battle to preserve our environment is intrinsically linked to the defense of our national sovereignty. How our country positions itself on the global stage, who our natural resources serve, and who dictates the rules of the environmental game are central issues in ensuring a sustainable future for the Brazilian population. The increasing frequency of prolonged droughts, devastating floods, and suffocating heat waves are not mere accidents of nature; they are symptoms of a deep environmental crisis that affects all Brazilian biomes. For popular movements in rural areas, the root of the environmental problem lies in the logic of the capitalist system, which prioritizes profit over life and nature.

US War Department To Shift Focus From China To ‘Threats’ In Latin America

September 7, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
US War Department officials are proposing to shift the US military posture away from a focus on China, instead prioritizing alleged threats in Latin America and the Caribbean, Politico reported on 6 September. A draft of the newest National Defense Strategy places "domestic and regional missions above countering adversaries such as Beijing and Moscow," Politico revealed, citing three people briefed on early versions of the report. The news comes one day after Trump signed an executive order for the Department of Defense to be renamed the “War Department” to better reflect its mission. Politico notes that the move, if implemented, would anger politicians in both the Republican and Democratic parties who have long been hostile to China and called for aggressive policies to counter its rise.

All Elements In Place For A US Decapitation Strike On Venezuela

September 5, 2025 Roger D. Harris and Joe Emersberger, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
President Donald Trump euphorically concluded his White House press conference on September 2 with breaking news: the US military had just blown up a small motor vessel in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. He alleged that the skiff came from Venezuela and was loaded with illicit drugs headed to the US. On social media, he further embellished his story by saying that the crew were members of the Tren de Aragua cartel, which Trump claims is controlled by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Trump alleges that this cartel is “responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence across the US.” There was no attempt to stop and search the boat in international waters, before murdering the crew.

Belgium To Recognize Palestine, Impose Sanctions On Israel

September 2, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Belgium will join France in recognizing a Palestinian state at the upcoming UN General Assembly session in New York this month, the country’s foreign minister announced on 2 September. “Palestine will be recognized by Belgium during the UN session! And firm sanctions are being imposed on the Israeli government. Any antisemitism or glorification of terrorism by Hamas supporters will also be more strongly condemned,” said Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot in a post on X. “In view of the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Palestine, particularly in Gaza, and in light of the violence perpetrated by Israel in violation of international law – given its international obligations, including the duty to prevent any risk of genocide – Belgium had to take bold decisions to increase pressure on the Israeli government and the Hamas terrorists,” he added.
