📑🖊 OPINION | All Elements in Place for a US Strike on Venezuela
On September 2, the US military destroyed a vessel in the Caribbean without attempting to stop or search it, killing 11 people. Washington claimed the boat came from Venezuela and was carrying drugs.
The latest opinion piece by Emersberger and Harris points to escalating US actions: troop deployments in the Caribbean, a $50M bounty on Maduro, expanded sanctions, and a sustained military presence. These steps, they argue, set the stage for a possible strike targeting Venezuela’s leadership.

🎥 VIDEO | “They [the US] are looking for oil. It’s not drug trafficking. It’s the oil,” President Nicolás Maduro told Rafael Correa during an interview on Tuesday.
Maduro recalled that Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves, estimated at 303 billion barrels, as well as the fourth-largest gas reserves, and potentially the world's largest gold reserves. He stated that these vast resources were the primary reason for the Trump administration’s ramped-up threats of regime change against Venezuela.
