Imperialist America's Attack on Venezuela

A collection of what's been confirmed about the imperialist attack, followed by photos of the protest outside the US Consulate in Toronto.

Last night, Imperialist America struck the capital of Venezuela, Caracas, in addition to several neighbouring cities.

Trump has announced they have “captured” Maduro and his wife; this has been confirmed by Delcy Rodriguez, Executive Vice President of Venezuela.

Delta Force of the Imperialist American Army, which previously provided support to the IDF, was allegedly involved, as reported by The Palestine Times.

The Venezuelan government has deployed the full might of the country—military, police, and the people themselves—against this illegal attack.¹ Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, a pro-Trump Zionist, has claimed she is “ready to take over government.”

Mass protests and further escalatory action have begun to occur around the world, for instance, in New York; San Francisco; Havana, Cuba; London, UK; and Venezuela itself.

Chinese and Russian Response

On January 3rd, following the attacks, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs remarked:

China expresses grave concern over the U.S. forcibly seizing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and taking them out of the country. The U.S.’s move is in clear violation of international law, basic norms in international relations, and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.

China calls on the U.S. to ensure the personal safety of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, release them at once, stop toppling the government of Venezuela, and resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation.

Russia’s MFA made similar remarks. As reported by TASS:

The department noted that the pretexts given by Washington for such actions are untenable, and ideological hostility has prevailed over a pragmatic approach and a willingness to build trusting and predictable relations.

The Foreign Ministry stressed that in the current situation it is important to prevent further escalation and look for ways out of the situation through dialogue. The Russian side, according to them, is ready to support all partners who intend to solve emerging problems by diplomatic means.
