Donald Trump’s “anti-war” posturing is exposed yet again by illegal aggression against Venezuela, revealing him as a war hawk weaponizing US power for profit, modern colonialism, and extortion.

The UN human rights office says US abduction of President Nicolás Maduro “sends a signal that the powerful can do whatever they like.”

Anti-war protesters gathered outside 10 Downing Street to condemn the US invasion of Venezuela.

The US Justice Department backs away from a controversial claim promoted last year by the Trump administration that Nicolas Maduro led a drug cartel known as the Cartel de los Soles.

The US has admitted that control over Venezuela’s oil is a key motive as its president is put on trial in New York following his abduction by the US military.

The US “regime change” project in Venezuela began not with Maduro’s 2026 kidnapping but with the 2002 coup against Hugo Chávez, evolving over the years through hybrid warfare and crippling sanctions.

A protest has been held in Rome condemning Washington's military aggression on Venezuela.
