“USA: Hands off Venezuela!”
November 24, 2025: Under the pretext of fighting drugs, the USA is conducting military aggression against Venezuela. The real reason for this is that US corporations want access to Venezuela's raw materials, especially its oil. In addition, the growing influence of imperialist rivals Russia and China in Venezuela and other Latin American countries is reducing the profits of US corporations. They are preparing a new hot spot of war with the potential for a world war. That is why the US is promoting reactionary, fascist, and anti-communist forces in Venezuela and other countries. This reveals the true face of the fascist Trump administration, which is trying to portray itself as a dealer for peace.
