** The U.S. military has blown up 22 boats off the coast of Venezuela and Colombia, murdering over 80 people alleged to be "drug smugglers" with no evidence and no due process, and in at least one case executing helpless survivors of a U.S. strike, reportedly based on orders from U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth to “kill them all.”
** Trump has declared the airspace above Venezuela to be closed, an illegal act of aggression and violation of sovereignty.
** Trump has put a bounty out on Venezuela's president and declared him to be a "narco-terrorist" leader of a drug cartel ("Cartel de los Soles") which doesn't even exist.
** Trump has authorized the CIA to conduct lethal covert operations inside Venezuela.
** Trump has said that "land action" against alleged drug traffickers in Venezuela would be starting "very soon."
** The U.S. has amassed about 15,000 troops in the Caribbean, including the world's largest warship.
** The Trump regime is purging the military of anyone who objects to war crimes and threatening the Congresspeople who reminded the military of their duty to disobey illegal orders.
All this is criminal. It is escalating. And it could very well be a prelude to all-out war. People in this country have a huge responsibility to oppose any such aggression, nonviolently in the streets and in the arenas of public opinion, as an imperialist predatory war waged by a fascist regime.
