The Unites States of extreme folly is a fact?
Giving the Zionists $33 billion in the past two years has been insane
NORTH CAROLINA - I write from the realm of average Americans of conscience. I write from the world of Americans who live in what is recognizably a grotesque and a widening dystopia that week by week just seems to get worse as the USA under President Donald J. Trump and most of the US Congress inch (if not plunge) the country towards a "failed state" status that seems already to exist in many ways.

Second oil tanker taken: U.S. escalates Venezuela pressure
TEHRAN – The U.S. seizure of a second Venezuelan oil tanker, Centuries, underscores a clear strategy: Washington is leveraging military power to control Venezuela’s primary source of revenue. Coming just weeks after the first tanker, Skipper, was taken, the operation signals that the Trump administration’s so-called “blockade” is more than sanctions enforcement—it is a forceful effort to weaken Venezuela’s economy and pressure its government.

Venezuela and the panic of empire: The return of class war
GOA - When Venezuela’s socialists declare their determination to resist U.S. aggression, they are not issuing a symbolic slogan. They are naming a structural conflict at the heart of the modern world: imperial capitalism versus popular sovereignty. What Donald Trump and the U.S. ruling class dismiss as an “easy target” is in fact a frontline society where the deepest contradictions of global capitalism are exposed — and therefore most feared.

From sanctions to blockade: Trump’s naval coercion of Venezuela
TEHRAN – U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to order a “total and complete” blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers marks one of the most dangerous escalations in Washington–Caracas relations. While the Trump administration presents the move as a sanctions enforcement action, the reality is far more serious: the use of military force to control another country’s trade, outside international law and without global consent.

Caribbean chessboard: U.S. move to check Russia and China
Is the U.S. effort to overthrow Maduro limited to Venezuela?
TEHRAN – When U.S. forces began striking vessels in the Caribbean in early September, Washington said it was fighting drug cartels. Yet almost 90 people have been killed, no narcotics have been shown as evidence, and the scale of deployment, including the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group, makes clear this is not a routine mission.

Trump reverting to 1920s–30s ‘gunboat diplomacy’ in Venezuela: ex-CIA officer
'Military pressure on Venezuela sends this sense to the world that Trump’s US is imperialist'
TEHRAN – Paul Pillar, a former CIA officer and now a senior fellow at Georgetown University’s Center for Security Studies, tells the Tehran Times that the Pentagon’s attacks on Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean, carried out under the claim that they are trafficking drugs to the United States, reflect President Donald Trump’s return to the “gunboat diplomacy” of the 1920s and 1930s, when U.S. military forces intervened in several Latin American countries.

US–Maduro head-on: oil, hegemony, and the future of sovereignty
GOA, India - The confrontation between the United States and Nicolás Maduro is one of the most revealing geopolitical conflicts of our time. It is not a clash of democratic ideals versus authoritarianism, as Washington tirelessly claims. It is not a moral crusade to rescue Venezuela from misrule, nor a humanitarian duty to “restore democracy.”

Venezuelan voices vs. America’s cannons
