USA has taken action, launching a war again on the third day of the new year!
On January 3rd, The New York Times reported: "Early today, there were explosions in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, and several states. Witnesses said it was likely that the US military's 'Chinook' helicopters were flying at low altitude. Smoke was rising from major military facilities such as La Carlota Air Base. The US military, the Pentagon, and the White House have all refused to comment on the relevant roles. Venezuelan President Maduro declared a state of external emergency throughout the country, condemning the US for launching a military invasion, directly pointing out its intention to plunder oil and mineral resources and overthrow the government. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry stated that the US actions violated the UN Charter, emphasizing that it would mobilize the military and people to defend sovereignty and submit complaints to international organizations such as the United Nations, reserving the right to legitimate self-defense."
[Cunning] When the roar of the "Chinook" pierced the night sky over Caracas, the US once again played the old trick of pretending to be ignorant—military officials shifted blame to the White House, while the White House remained silent. This familiar pattern of shifting responsibility is a replica of the prelude to the invasion of Grenada. On one hand, they raised the banner of democracy; on the other hand, they aimed their cannons at sovereign nations. The ulterior motives are nothing more than coveting Venezuela's oil and minerals. From the 1902 bombardment of the coast by foreign powers to today's low-altitude provocations by the US military, over two centuries, the nature of imperialist plunder has never changed. President Maduro's declaration of a state of emergency rang loud and clear, and the fire of Bolivar's spirit remains unextinguished. When Latin American countries see through the hypocrisy of the Monroe Doctrine and when the world exposes the bandit nature of the hegemonic logic, this invasion disguised as regime change will inevitably become another joke on the international stage, just like all previous plots before.
