If Maduro was the dictator the media says he was, he wouldn't arm his own citizens with rifles at the exact moment a foreign power was threatening a coup against him.
Colombia resumes flights to Venezuela, rejects US closure of Venezuelan airspace
President of Colombia Gustavo Petro confirmed that flights between Colombia and Venezuela are continuing and rejected President Donald Trump's claim that Venezuelan airspace would be closed "completely." Petro stated that Washington can only restrict its own airlines and called on countries to restore normal civil aviation links with Venezuela, emphasizing that dialogue should replace growing tensions.
As temporary president of CELAC, Petro stated that he would call for an urgent meeting of ICAO to consider the US recommendation and defend the principle that each country maintains sovereignty over its own airspace. Colombia's Transport Minister Maria Fernanda Rodriguez Mantilla supported this position in an interview with "La Razón," saying that the notice from the US Federal Aviation Administration was politically motivated and violated basic aviation norms.
Petro invited governments and international airlines to resume flights to Venezuela and warned that companies refusing to do so may face consequences. He argued that current restrictions reflect geopolitical pressure, not technical problems.
If you believe that US-backed regime change in Venezuela will turn the country into a "beacon of liberty" you're historically illiterate.
First of all there's a long and well-documented history of US-led regime change in Latin America and the end result in the overwhelming majority of the cases is ruthless military dictatorships (Chile with Pinochet, Guatemala with Carlos Castillo Armas and later Efraín Ríos Montt, Brazil with 21 years of military rule under generals like Castelo Branco and Médici, Argentina with Jorge Rafael Videla's junta, Bolivia with Hugo Banzer's dictatorship, etc.) Which is the most liberticide type of regime on earth.
Secondly, the U.S. is pursuing regime change in Venezuela precisely to PREVENT liberty, and they aren't even hiding it.
Liberty in the context of a nation is, by definition, self-determination and control over one's own resources. Trump has explicitly stated he wants Venezuela's oil (see https://t.co/ENNqKkNYEF) and the lady they want to install in lieu of Maduro has explicitly stated she'd give ownership of the country's oil to the U.S. (see https://t.co/FKHOYaXlET).
You cannot claim to be liberating a country while simultaneously planning to appropriate its strategic assets - that's the contrary of liberation, it's colonial plunder.
They want to turn Venezuela into another Libya so they can steal their oil and weaken the Latin American left.
No one is buying their lies about drugs and democracy.
No one wants this.
Maduro:
“I say it clearly to the world:
The United States is planning to plunder Venezuelan oil… they want to seize the largest oil reserve in the world as if Venezuela were a land without a people.
That will not happen… not while I am leading this nation.”
Colombia's President Petro: "A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."
‘The enemy that threatens Cuba is the same enemy that threatens everybody else.’
-Fidel Castro, who passed away on this day in 2016.
His words were a warning. Now Venezuela🇻🇪, Colombia🇨🇴, Russia🇷🇺, China🇨🇳, Iran🇮🇷…and the entire global south face the guns of the US’ empire.
Venezuelans are holding a mass march right now in Caracas, together with the military, vowing to defend their country from foreign invaders.
If Trump is foolish enough to attack, this will be his Vietnam.
Gaza just hosted its own “Championship of Hope” a football tournament for amputees. Many of them children and teens who lost limbs in the genocide.
This team should’ve been in Jakarta for the World Cup qualifiers, but Israel’s blockade and border control shattered that dream.
A German Jew just said out loud what Western governments are terrified to admit:
“Germany’s crimes 80 years ago have NOTHING to do with Palestinians.
So why are Palestinians paying the price for something they didn’t do?”
Then he drops the hammer:
**“Every morning I wake up and check how many Palestinians were killed today…
How many children lost their limbs without anesthesia…
How many hospitals were bombed.
And somehow the West still can’t agree on an immediate ceasefire?”**
And the knockout line that shatters Israel’s favorite narrative:
“I’m Jewish — and I don’t want Israel to represent me.
Criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitism.
It’s criticizing a state committing crimes.”
One voice — enough to expose the hypocrisy of an entire continent.
