In another illegal and flagrant act of his imperial presidency, after four months of deploying a powerful war machine in the Caribbean Sea to carry out a regime change operation in Venezuela and seize its geostrategic resources (particularly oil), by ordering the bombing of the South American country and the kidnapping of the constitutional and legitimate president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores, Donald Trump swept away the remaining vestiges of international law and the moribund United Nations system half-buried in occupied Palestine.

The Revolutionary Government strongly condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the military aggression carried out by the United States against Venezuela, while categorically reaffirming Cuba’s absolute support and solidarity with the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and its government. Cuba supports the address delivered by the Executive Vice President, Comrade Delcy Rodríguez, and endorses her demand that the Government of the United States provide proof of life of the constitutional President, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and Comrade Cilia Flores, as well as its support for the determination of the Bolivarian and Chavista government and its people to reject the aggression and defend their independence and sovereignty.

Not everyone trusted that the Rebel Army would defeat the constitutional, armed and prepared Army. Perhaps they did not calculate that the rebels’ convictions made up for any lack of ammunition… Raúl would say it in the year 1959 himself: a soldier without a reserve in his brain is like a useless rifle. In this lay the essence of the triumph, since Fidel kept his faith in victory, even in the most difficult moments, and the strength to defend a just ideal, and he knew how to transmit it to his fellow fighters.

2025 saw progressive governments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) delegitimized and displaced. Right-wing forces have seized on drug-related crises to attack the so-called Pink Tide governments, driving a reactionary backwash and putting new, neoliberal administrations in power. The irony is that the rise in drug use and crime is driven by neoliberalism’s failure to meet social needs. But this has been successfully cloaked. (more…)
