I just can't understand how Americans haven't been out in the streets in the millions, given how many months there have been to organise—the progressives, liberals, Trump voters who spouted "peace" barely a year ago. Lots of silence led to this.
The Piss President certainly didn't want to let the early day's of 2026 pass without another war while preparing for the parallel War against Iran using the Demonstrations there as a perfect Mossad Vehicle we witnessed so many times before. 2026 will be a very rocky ride for most of us and Security will get scarce, so will Money, Heating, Food etc. Yeah, Yeah i know this sounds so Negative but that's exactly what it is.
Those poor people, just wanting to live their lives, I can't think that most Venezuelans really worried who was in charge, like most countries they just wanted to live in peace. But due to the greed of the super rich they must be slaughtered.
This must be so much fun for Trump and his fellow Nazis. Cuba next, then Greenland, look out Panama and Mexico, they're on a roll! How about some weak south American countries- there's an endless supply of gold needed for those palaces)- easy to grab. And then take bits of Canada (you know, the bits that WANT to be American- they speak American, so they must want to join- right?) just as Putin has done with Ukraine, nibble, nibble, just a little more every year, all that bombing, fear and hunger, better just to give up the territory for peace, of course it is, better to be another state of America than dead. Right? No help is coming, Europe is weakened and will be fighting Russia, China will be managing Asia in its own way, Israel will continue to destroy the middle east, in its own way and so, the world is carved up.
But the climate crisis is here and rapidly advancing, all these wars will speed up the impacts even more- who knows what will get us first?
Another good blog. On the basis of “Maduro is anti-democratic” one wonders when the USTrump/Krasov will declare war on Ruzzia? Or the rag-bag of non-democratic/military dictatorships/narco-states in central American? Oh hang on – US allies. As a European I will be glad to see the back of all US bases, all US finance companies and all US tech-bro companies. The good news is that some in Europe are starting to wake up. I hope we move in that direction.
As for the unfortunate Venezuelans – in the 2000s (I think), Russia shipped 200,000 AK47s to Venezuela. I do hope there is a general issue + ammo. Also, I imagine this event might encourage many Latin-American states to get closer together – hopefully fulfil the dream of Bolivar. The USA, perpetually fucking Latin America.
"Honestly, if this is the level of consciousness the anti-imperialists are operating at, forget about ever seeing the end of empire and its violence."
Sadly that is the diseased state of the "left" in the West. No surprise that a carnival barker like Trump is more popular. Luckily, intense and consistent critique like you exhibit in this article is the cure. Give it to these frauds hard, Nate! You are the real thing.
It's fear. If big city mayors and blue state governors don't invoke the Maduro is a terrorist line, then they themselves may qualify for expedited removal.
This is a bad day on so many levels! The worst is the guarantee that all of Venezuela's crude oil gets stolen and burned.
With the US present, its not like we had a nice planet, but this is our only planet. Tolkien would be impressed with our fouling of globe.
thank you nate for calling out the US mob gangsters, who (like their outpost israel) act with total impunity. it's painful to watch. as you say, this isn't just trump; blue maga is also implicated. as for the feeble international law-that-isn't: i find it poignant that so many within the countries we attack are true believers in said law & even believe it might help protect them, until (as in gaza) their illusions are forcibly peeled off.

I realized long ago and have been repeating endlessly we're beyond reform, after >two years of open genocide and obvious plans to cull domestically, there isn't going to be a rebellion and priority is local organization to suffer less what this stage of humanity brings.

It’s just “wag the dog” all over again. (Don’t look at the Epstein files!) Sure, it’s American imperialism…I imagine Iran is next (again), cause - OIL (how ironic that trump tells Iran not to shoot peaceful protesters, but sends National guard and ICE into our own streets)…
I hope the Supreme Court burns in hell for letting this madman reign free—what can the Congress do if impeachment goes up the chain to them? To people who say, why aren’t people descending on the White House with pitchforks—well you can be assured that if the military is now obeying “illegal orders”, and we are seeing citizens “mistakenly” deported to El Salvador, they’d just mow us down. If 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that democracy is dead. The 250th birthday of America will officially mark its death.
The only power that is left with the people is not buying shit. If we can squeeze the corporations, they will squeeze this “president” out of office.
What a grim situation.

It took 24 years for the Romanians. Americans are too busy watching Netflix…not to mention the planet doesn’t have 24 years…Don’t Look Up.

RE: The kidnapping of Maduro …
Delta force turns out to be a group of a little bitches who will suck anyone's dick for a dollar.
It is well known that Trump is a fucking lunatic … to follow his orders, you've got to be really compromised.

Power is getting to decide who the monsters are. What's more US presidential than that?
