In response to the US military aggression against Venezuela

January 3, 2026

US imperialism is blockading and now directly bombing the territory of our sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, while simultaneously kidnapping President Maduro and his partner Flores.

It is time for the working class and the people of the East to take to the streets to express our solidarity and demand a clear and firm repudiation from the FA government.

Solidarity with Venezuela!

Yanquis out of Our America!

US imperialism blocks Venezuela in support of a coup d'état

December 7, 2025

With the hackneyed argument of fighting drug trafficking, US imperialism has set up a naval blockade and closed the airspace with dozens of ships and its largest aircraft carrier, mobilizing special forces in several countries in the region. In total, it has mobilized some 15,000 troops.

More than 20 boats have already been bombed and more than 80 people killed, many of them fishermen of various nationalities, without evidence and without trial of any kind.

At the same time, this operation, which began in August and has been escalating, is offering rewards of millions of dollars for the arrest of President Maduro and several leaders of the government of the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

All of this, which already constitutes a very serious intervention and has been preceded by many provocations over the years, is intended to maximize pressure to bring down the current Venezuelan government, and if this does not happen, to be in a position to carry out attacks with missiles, drones, and other military means directly against government leaders, senior military commanders, and strategic infrastructure.

These actions would be carried out in support of a coup d'état, for which they need to count on part of the Venezuelan armed forces and in which the CIA and other Yankee agencies are actively working, through corruption and other means.

According to various media outlets and specialists on the subject, it is very unlikely that the Yankees will withdraw from the area without carrying out these attacks after such a large military mobilization, which has also been carried out at great economic cost.

The situation in Venezuela, Colombia, which is also now threatened by the fascist Trump, and all the countries of the Caribbean, including Cuba, is very serious.

The true objective of this new aggression by Yankee imperialism, which continues to be the main economic, political, and military power in the world, but whose hegemony is in decline, in fierce competition with China and in a multipolar world, is clear. It aims to increase political, economic, and military control in Latin America and the Caribbean as much as possible, fully reviving the Monroe Doctrine, as openly stated in last November's National Security Strategy report.

The Yankees' problem with Venezuela is not drug trafficking but fundamentally controlling its wealth, mainly oil, and cutting off its close relationship with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba.

Faced with this situation, the Venezuelan government and the heroic brotherly people are preparing for military resistance to Yankee intervention and the fascist coup d'état. It is up to the working class and the peoples of the continent to develop the greatest solidarity.

We must express this solidarity now with actions, through a strong popular mobilization, which, in the face of concrete attacks, includes a general strike, while at the same time demanding that the pseudo-progressive government of the FA abandon its complicit silence and internationally condemn this new aggression by Yankee imperialism.

The people of Artigas together with those of Bolívar: Yankees out of Our America!

Long live the struggle of the brotherly Venezuelan people and international solidarity!
