Dutch historian and writer Marjolein van Pagee takes stock of the Dutch role in the Caribbean, arguing that “the Dutch neutrality claim is a farce.” The Netherlands maintains U.S. Forward Operating Locations in Curaçao and Aruba, just kilometers from Venezuela. In 2019, these bases were used during an infiltration attempt presented as “humanitarian aid.”

Meanwhile, Dutch PM Dick Schoof announced the permanent closure of Aruba’s old Lago refinery, framing it as a step toward sustainability even as the islands remain strategic to U.S.-Dutch military cooperation.

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Geopolitics, Resistance and the Battle for Venezuela: A Conversation with Atilio Borón

In VA’s latest interview, Atilio Borón offers a detailed reading of the current escalation in the Caribbean. He states that Washington is deploying its largest military presence in the region since 1962 as it tries to counter China’s expanding economic footprint and assemble a new right-wing bloc aligned with US interests.

Borón says Venezuela remains a strategic priority for Washington because it holds “the largest proven oil reserves in the world… just four to five days from US refineries,” a factor he argues helps explain the renewed military pressure, particularly as the US pursues new methods after failing to isolate the country politically and economically.

🖊🗞OPINION | Corporate Media Parrot Dubious Drug Claims That Justify War on Venezuela

Venezuelanalysis’ Ricardo Vaz breaks down how corporate media are reinforcing Washington’s narrative amid the largest US military buildup in the Caribbean in decades.

Vaz shows how major outlets have echoed the Trump administration’s framing as the US deploys a major regional force, including the USS Gerald R. Ford, and carries out extrajudicial strikes that UN experts have denounced as violations of international law.

He also highlights UNODC and DEA findings showing that Venezuela is a marginal cocaine transit route and that DEA assessments do not link the Venezuelan government to major trafficking operations, evidence largely sidelined in corporate media coverage.

🖊🗞OPINION | How to Topple Imperial Delusion: A Response to Elliott Abrams’s Latest Call for Regime Change in Venezuela

Solidarity activist Michelle Ellner challenges Elliott Abrams’s recent arguments for regime change in Venezuela. “Abrams writes with the confidence of someone who has never lived inside the countries his policies have destabilized,” Ellner states, noting that Abrams helped design the sanctions that severely affected the Venezuelan economy, later using the resulting crisis to argue for regime change.

Furthermore, even US government data contradicts Abrams’s narrative: DEA and UNODC reports indicate that most cocaine destined for the US moves through the Pacific from Colombia, not Venezuela.
