A pressing alert has been issued to the American public regarding potential military aggression against Venezuela, framed as a response to drug trafficking concerns that lack international credibility. Authored by prominent journalist and international analyst Luis Manuel Arce, the analysis presents a stark warning against what it describes as Washington’s underlying motives to control the South American nation’s extensive oil reserves.
The report draws historical parallels to the 1846 Mexican-American War, when U.S. expansionist policies resulted in the annexation of significant Mexican territory. However, Arce contends that modern geopolitics cannot accommodate a repetition of such 19th-century imperialism, particularly not 179 years later under the potential leadership of Donald Trump.
According to the analysis, the strategic objective extends beyond resource acquisition to establishing Venezuela as a military stronghold for continental dominance. The alleged plan would position the nation as a protective barrier against global competitors including European powers, Russia, and China, fundamentally altering the Western Hemisphere’s balance of power.
The examination further characterizes Trump’s political ambitions as seeking to extend presidential authority beyond constitutional limits, effectively establishing an authoritarian regime. This agenda purportedly involves cultivating alliances with far-right elements across the Americas to support absolute dominance over Latin America and the Caribbean.
In his direct address to U.S. citizens, Arce invokes historical precedent, recalling the 1973 coup against Chilean President Salvador Allende. The analysis concludes with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s declaration that the Venezuelan people remain prepared to defend their convictions and patriotic sovereignty at all costs, suggesting potential armed resistance to any foreign intervention.
