Maduro signs presidential decree to fight against the US to the end
September 30th news, Maduro has signed a presidential decree that will take effect immediately if the US military launches an invasion.
According to the terms of the decree, Maduro will be granted the power to mobilize the army nationwide, and the military will also be given control over the oil industry and public services.
This means that Venezuela is already prepared for war. If the US crosses the final line, Venezuela will not hesitate to pay any price and fight to the end.
In recent times, the pressure from the US on Venezuela has continued to increase, with frequent deployment of military aircraft and warships in the Caribbean Sea and around South America, and even reports of a planned drone strike plan.
However, Maduro is not someone to be taken lightly. He directly clarified his bottom line: any military action will be defined as an invasion. Once the US takes action, Venezuela will immediately start fighting under the framework of the constitution, concentrating all resources to respond.
Maduro placing the military directly under the management of the oil industry actually binds resource security and national security together.
In other words, Maduro is telling the outside world: oil is the wartime engine of the country. Any sanctions or destruction that touches oil could also be considered an act of war.
Maduro is clearly preparing for a desperate battle. There is no option to surrender; he must fight against the US to the end.
It remains to be seen how the US will react. It is said that the US has already started to develop a strike plan, which means that action could happen at any time. Just like Trump dealt with Iran, he has been releasing smoke bombs all along. When people are guessing, the action has already ended suddenly. A similar script may be repeated in Venezuela.
