Think for yourself and keep a clear mind. The US will reduce a vibrant Socialist country to rubble – and then falsely claim “Socialism doesn’t work!” I suspect elite US Rangers were deployed by helicopter to seal-off a large square (or rectangular) area trapping Maduro in the centre – with special Delta Force troops then infiltrated to kidnap him and his wife – killing any bodyguards or resisters in the process – prior to exfiltration (exactly the same process that went drastically wrong in Somalia in 1993). There is no news of US casualties. ACW (4.1.2026)
China strongly condemns U.S. military strikes against Venezuela
Ecns.cn 2026-01-04
(ECNS) — China is deeply shocked by and strongly condemns the U.S.’s blatant use of force against a sovereign state and action against its president, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Saturday following U.S. military strikes against Venezuela.
The spokesperson made the remarks when asked about statements posted by U.S. President Donald Trump on Truth Social, which claims that the U.S. had “successfully” carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela, and that its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, along with his wife, had been taken and “flown out of the country.”
Such hegemonic acts of the U.S. seriously violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region, the spokesperson said, adding that China firmly opposes it.
“We call on the U.S. to abide by international law and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and stop violating other countries’ sovereignty and security,” said the spokesperson. (By Gong Weiwei)

JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan Ambassador to South Africa Carlos Feo Acevedo on Saturday strongly condemned U.S. military aggression against Venezuela, describing it as a “clear kidnapping” of President Nicolas Maduro and a serious violation of international law.
Acevedo made the remarks during an interview with Russia Today, a Russian media group. “It is a clear violation and a clear criminal terrorist act perpetrated by the U.S. administration against Venezuela,” he said, accusing Washington of breaching international norms, including the UN Charter, as well as its own domestic laws.
The United States conducted “criminal strikes against the people of Venezuela,” the ambassador said, noting that the objective was to exert control over the country’s natural resources.
The U.S. military launched a series of attacks against Venezuela early Saturday morning, during which Maduro was captured and flown out of the country along with his wife. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro will face trial in the United States.
The military action against the South American nation has drawn widespread international condemnation, with multiple countries calling for a coordinated global response.
Venezuela slams US’ ‘colonial threat’ on its airspace
chinadaily.com.cn 2025-12-01
Venezuela has accused the United States of making a “colonial threat” and seeking to undermine its sovereignty, after US President Donald Trump said the airspace “above and surrounding” the South American nation should be considered closed “in its entirety”.
In an official statement issued on Saturday, Caracas rejected Washington’s attempt to apply extraterritorial jurisdiction to Venezuela, saying the US move threatens Venezuela’s “territorial integrity, aeronautical security and full sovereignty”.
It is “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”, the statement added.
In a post on his social media platform earlier on Saturday, Trump wrote, “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”
The remark came amid heightening tensions between the US and Venezuela. In response, Venezuela said the US move amounts to an explicit threat of the use of force, which is prohibited under the United Nations Charter.
Under the 1944 Chicago Convention, each state exercises exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory, the Venezuelan statement said, emphasizing that the country will not accept “orders, threats or interference” from any foreign power.
The statement appealed to the international community to firmly reject the “immoral act of aggression”, adding that Venezuela will respond with legality and dignity.
Since early September, the US has carried out more than 20 known military strikes on what it said were drug vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean, killing more than 80 people.
The US military presence in the Caribbean was further strengthened in mid-November with the deployment of USS Gerald R. Ford, a major aircraft carrier, to a level unseen in at least three decades.
In his Thanksgiving message to US troops on Thursday night, Trump also suggested that the US could “very soon” take action by land against drug trafficking networks in Venezuela.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has denied his government’s involvement in any drug trafficking, accusing the US of seeking a pretext to force a regime change in Venezuela.
Amid fears that Trump may launch a major operation in Venezuela, members of the US Congress — both Democrats and Republicans — have expressed their anger, saying that he has not sought legislative approval for any such action.
“President Trump’s reckless actions toward Venezuela are pushing America closer and closer to another costly foreign war,” Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer tweeted on Sunday on X. “Under our Constitution, Congress has the sole power to declare war,” he said.
Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said, “Reminder, Congress has the sole power to declare war.”
Last month, the Federal Aviation Administration, top aviation regulator of the US, issued a warning to major airlines flying over Venezuela, highlighting dangers from a “potentially hazardous situation” due to the “worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around” the South American country.
Venezuela later revoked the operating rights of six major international airlines that had suspended flights to the country after the FAA warning.
Last month, Cuba had accused the US of pushing for the violent removal of Venezuela’s leadership, warning that the growing deployment of US military forces in the Caribbean represents an “exaggerated and aggressive” threat to regional stability.

Maduro is ‘the only president’ of Venezuela, says Venezuelan vice president
Xinhua 2026-01-04
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said on Saturday that Nicolas Maduro is “the only president” of the South American nation.
Rodriguez made the statement during a live speech on a state-run television station Saturday afternoon, adding that Venezuela will never become a colony of any country.
Accompanied by the ministers of the interior, foreign affairs and other officials, the vice president demanded that the United States release Maduro and his wife, and urged the Venezuelan people to remain calm, face the challenges together and defend national sovereignty.
Noting that the attack on Venezuela may happen in any other country in the region in the future, Rodriguez said Venezuela is ready to defend its natural resources and will never become a colony of any country or a slave of any empire.
The United States launched a large-scale military operation against Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday, seizing Maduro and his wife.
US President Donald Trump claimed at a press conference Saturday morning that Rodriguez had been sworn in as president of Venezuela, and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio “just had a conversation” with her.
“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” Trump claimed while speaking to reporters.
The international community is deeply shocked by the US raid on Maduro, strongly condemning the blatant use of force against a sovereign state and action against its president.
