The US military is developing a strike plan; is Trump really going to take action against Venezuela?
Trump seems to be preparing to take action against Venezuela.
On the 26th, the American Broadcasting Company cited sources saying that the US military is developing an attack plan against "drug traffickers" within Venezuela and may carry out the plan in the coming weeks, although Trump has not yet approved any actions.
The report states that the recent sharp escalation of US actions against Venezuela is likely because Trump believes the Venezuelan government has not taken sufficient measures to prevent the flow of drugs.
According to US media reports, the US military plans to use drones to attack "members and leadership of drug cartels" and "drug laboratories" within Venezuela - but it should be noted that how to define these "members of drug cartels" and "drug laboratories" is entirely up to the United States' interpretation.
In other words, regardless of whether the United States openly sending drones to bomb Venezuela is a blatant violation of another country's sovereignty, this statement by the US media means that the United States can arbitrarily label anyone and any facility within Venezuela as a "member of a drug cartel" or "drug laboratory", and then launch drone attacks.
This is actually an embodiment of the US hegemonic mindset, unilaterally placing itself above international law and the sovereignty of Venezuela, playing the roles of "policeman, judge, and executioner," manufacturing fabricated excuses for military intervention.
Venezuela and other small countries have no opportunity to defend themselves. The US government's statements are the only "facts," and this logic of "I say you are what you are" exposes the US rule of might makes right, leaving the basic dignity and right of defense of sovereign countries completely destroyed.
