📕 | The period from 2011 to 2019 remained completely hidden from us. It was nowhere in the media, whether of friends or enemies, that a massive battle was going on behind the scenes. Qassim Soleimani (r) was turning into a master planner of world diplomacy and a manager of crises. He would take plans and agendas from the Leader and ensure they reached the desired points of implementation.
From sorting out issues between India and China, to managing crises related to Russia, and even the issue of the potential fall of the Turkish regime, the battle was in a real sense continuously ongoing. All of this happened under the constant watch of American surveillance. He not only shaped but effectively formed two new nations of resistance: the Palestinian resistance, with the help of Saeed Izadi (r), and the shaping of a resistance nation like Yemen.
By the time the enemies understood what had already unfolded, it was too late. There was no option left for them except to assassinate him, especially as the Americans had lost nearly seven trillion dollars over five years while failing to achieve any of their agendas in the region.

✅ | It seems these strikes are related to the current sensitive times and may be intended to distract or occupy Iran or Lebanon. By keeping Iran busy protecting Venezuela, the U.S. might attempt to extend its terror and aggression against Iran or Lebanon. However, this will be confirmed with updated reports and developments from the ground.

☑️ | This is an invasion of Venezuela. At the same time, popular terror networks along the Pakistani border are reportedly preparing to attack Iran, while other terrorist elements are attempting infiltration. Riots are occurring in Iranian streets, with security personnel being killed, and Lebanon is under intense pressure. All of this has been handed to the world as a legacy of America. The question now being asked is what the response will be: negotiations, or escalation — the answer is clear: is bomb, killing its solder and destroying American asset.

🇻🇪 | The United States seeks to loot resources and assets everywhere, from Gaza and Ukraine to Pakistan, Kashmir, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and beyond. This invasion is driven by oligopolistic interests. The attack represents a risk that the United States, for the first time in its history, appears to have underestimated or miscalculated.
Current updates indicate that the United States has deactivated all transponders on its aircraft, making U.S. military planes untrackable, while intense military activity is being reported in Caracas. In response, authorities have announced general mobilization, activated all national defense plans, declared a state of emergency, and ordered an immediate transition to armed struggle to confront imperialism. Complaints are being prepared for submission to the UN Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, the Group of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Non-Aligned Movement.
Officials state that the people and the National Bolivarian Armed Forces, in coordination with the police, have been deployed to guarantee sovereignty and peace, while reserving the right to exercise self-defense to protect the population, territory, and independence. Commentary circulating on social platforms describes Washington’s policies as a central threat to international peace and security, arguing that global institutions have proven ineffective and that peoples worldwide are left with solidarity as their primary means of defense.
Media reports further indicate that the government has authorized civilian organizations to use military weapons as part of the national defense plan against what it describes as imperialist aggression. A call has been issued to the peoples and governments of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the wider world to mobilize and actively demonstrate solidarity against the attack.

✅ | The attack on Venezuela appears connected to the broader line of strikes stretching from Lebanon to Iran. What is unfolding reflects the expanding waves of Trump-era despotism, now widening across regions. Rather than restoring control, this escalation may ultimately become the final blow to an aggressive order built on coercion and force.

🇻🇪 | According to reliable sources in Caracas, President Nicolás Maduro is safe, remains in command, and the internal situation is described as stable and cohesive. Explosions were reported near the Fuerte Tiuna military base in the capital, and Aggressor Trump authorized strikes on sites inside the country, including military facilities, days in advance. While explosions have eased, frequent noise from military aircraft continues over the city.
Major diversions of civilian flights away from San Juan, Puerto Rico, have been reported, amid indications that U.S. forces may be using the island as a staging point for operations. In Moscow, sources report that President Vladimir Putin arrived at the Kremlin to hold closed discussions regarding the situation.
Regional reactions have followed swiftly. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the U.S. attack as state terrorism and called for an urgent international response, warning that the region’s peace zone is under brutal assault. Colombian President Gustavo Petro expressed deep concern over the explosions and unusual aerial activity, rejected unilateral military action that endangers civilians, and urged immediate de-escalation and dialogue. Colombia has enacted preventive measures to protect civilians and preserve stability along the border.
Long Live Venezuela!

🏴☠️ | Trump won’t invade Venezuela: The ‘will he, won’t he’ drama over Venezuela got a new dimension Monday after Trump hinted readiness to “talk to” Maduro. The appearance of this diplomatic window amid the US’s continued military buildup in the Caribbean…
✅ | The drama over whether the U.S. will attack Venezuela masks a simple truth. It cannot succeed, and even Trump knows it. Diplomatic gestures toward Maduro do little to change the hard realities on the ground. Venezuela is not a major narcotics hub for U.S. consumption, as the bulk of South American drugs flow through Mexico, and attacking so-called ‘drug operations’ with aircraft carriers would be highly inefficient. This is not Grenada in 1983 or Panama in 1989. Venezuela fields a 4.5 million-strong people’s militia, a 95–150k regular troop army, and an arsenal of missiles and drones, all positioned to wage asymmetric guerrilla warfare using jungle and mountain terrain as cover. Estimates suggest a full invasion would require 50–150k troops, far beyond the 15k currently deployed, and around 170 Tomahawks in the Caribbean could only sustain a short, limited campaign.
Experts warn the consequences would be severe. Former CIA analyst Fulton Armstrong notes that invading forces would face relentless sabotage, sniper attacks, and political operations. A RAND study in 2023 warned that any engagement would be protracted and difficult to extricate from. Historical patterns reinforce this. In 64 U.S. regime-change attempts studied by Foreign Affairs, only 10% succeeded, with nearly half of installed leaders later ousted. Publicly announcing regime-change plans, as Trump has effectively done, forfeits the covert advantage, increasing political and military costs.
Domestically, an attack would alienate key parts of Trump’s base, including figures like Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson, who oppose foreign entanglements, and it would tarnish any hope of being remembered as a peace-oriented president. Nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose such action. Regionally, Latin America would react negatively, wary of decades of U.S. interventions. Far from solving problems like drug trafficking, crime, or illegal migration, a military campaign would likely exacerbate them, creating chaos and instability.
Trump’s pressure tactics, including military posturing off the coast, mirror his ‘escalate to negotiate’ strategy outlined in The Art of the Deal. Fire-and-fury threats, trade intimidation, and limited strikes are meant to placate allies without triggering full-scale wars. In Venezuela, however, history, geography, and public sentiment make it clear that any attack would backfire.
