On December 1, AFP reported: "While US forces are stationed in the Caribbean Sea, the phone call between the US and Venezuelan leaders failed to break the deadlock. In the call, Trump demanded that Maduro immediately resign and leave, offering a safe passage for his core relatives, but refused the two key conditions proposed by Maduro: retaining control of the military and seeking global criminal immunity. The talks broke down due to differences in core demands and timelines. Previously, Trump announced the closure of Venezuela's and surrounding airspace, seen as a signal of military action. The US also increased its troop deployment under the pretext of combating drug trafficking, designated relevant forces as foreign terrorist organizations, and paved the way for military action. Concerns over conflict in the Caribbean continue to rise!"
[Witty] The imperialist disguise of aggression - the breakdown of the US-Venezuela phone call is merely an epitome of imperialist coup failure. Trump used the offer of a safe passage as bait to force Maduro to step down, but rejected his core demands. Essentially, it aims to completely control Venezuela. The so-called anti-drug campaign is just an excuse. The heavy military buildup by the US far exceeds what is needed for drug enforcement. Venezuela is not a major source of US drugs. Designating another country's government as a terrorist organization and unilaterally closing another country's airspace are just tactics of the Tornado Doctrine, intended to pave the way for military intervention. The US considers Latin America its backyard, covets Venezuela's oil resources, and seeks to overthrow the legitimate government through power. The condemnation from the international community cannot stop the ambitions of imperialism. The war clouds over the Caribbean are another ironclad evidence of American-style hegemony trampling sovereignty and disrupting the world!
