Press TV: From Monroe to Trump – Imperialist footprint behind President Maduro’s kidnapping! (29.1.2026)

Beyond the UNSC, dozens of countries, including Brazil, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, and others, issued public condemnations, framing the action as a breach of international norms rather than legitimate law enforcement. Governments across Africa and Asia warned that the operation undermined the post-1945 international legal order. UN officials cautioned that treating extraterritorial criminal law as a justification for military force set a dangerous precedent.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran issued a formal statement strongly condemning the US military attack on Venezuela, labeling it a clear act of aggression and a blatant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Latin American reactions were mixed. Bolivia, Cuba, and Nicaragua denounced the raid and reaffirmed support for Maduro’s legitimacy. In Cuba, mass demonstrations equated the operation with neo-imperialist aggression. By contrast, governments aligned with Washington issued carefully worded statements urging respect for “judicial processes,” avoiding condemnation of the use of force.

UN: Members Denounce US Attack on Venezuela! (12.1.2026)

This being the case, why does the UN – and its constituent members – suddenly find it so unpalatable when the US behaves like the rogue Zionist regime it finances? Whilst the US denies free healthcare to its own citizens – the US also finances completely free healthcare for every Israeli citizen (this is also true for South Korea, Taiwan and Japan – key US players in the region). Given that the US has imported Neo-Nazism into Ukraine and fought a proxy-war since 2014 – why shouldn’t Trump act in this lawless manner toward Venezuela? What political or military mechanism is there to stop him? None. Obama destroy a Socialist Libya, installed the Maidan Junta in Kyiv, and began the destruction of Syria. Obama was one of the worst US warmongers – but is fondly remembered for a second-rate health system and free mobile phones. You see my point. Free health, of course, is one of the main principles of any Socialist System, and this fact demonstrates the cynical nature of US foreign policy around the world.

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.

China: Trump’s Remarks on Venezuelan Airspace Closure Spark Wide Condemnation” (2.12.2025)

Trump said in a post on social media Saturday that the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela should be considered to be closed “in its entirety.” His remarks came after Washington had strengthened its military buildup in the Caribbean Sea on the grounds of “fighting drug trafficking.”

Amid escalating tensions between the two countries, Trump confirmed on Sunday a phone call with his Venezuelan counterpart, without revealing any details of their conversation.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who had denied any involvement in drug dealing, sent a letter to Haitham Al Ghaism, secretary general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, warning that the U.S. military threat in the Caribbean could jeopardize global energy market stability.

US: More Federal Employees Turn to Food Stamps as Government Shutdown Enters 6th Week! (8.11.2025)

Analysis by the U.S. think tank Center on Budget and Policy Priorities indicates that about 1.2 million households, or nearly 5 million people — roughly 1 in nine SNAP recipients — will receive zero benefits because their normal benefit amounts fall below the planned benefit reduction.

Apryl told Xinhua that, as a single mother, she is eligible for the SNAP, but she is concerned that her payments may not arrive on time as usual. “That would be more money that I have to put out into the grocery store, which is very expensive; that takes money from bills that I already have or something else I have to do for my kid,” she said.

“I think this current episode of punishing or abusing the poor … is yet another example of what has been a long-term truth about this country: how the poor have frequently been injured or deprived because of the contempt of those who are either wealthier and/or in power,” said Greg Cusack, a former member of the Iowa House of Representatives.

US: Warning as Government Shutdown Deepens Impact on Travel & Livelihoods! (8.11.2025)

Baker noted that the U.S. has experienced shutdowns in the past decades, during which both parties had real differences but they also recognized the need for compromise. However, in this case, “that recognition does not seem to be there with the Trump administration and the Republicans.”

In his view, the Republicans “are mostly to blame in that they have not approached the deadlock in good faith”.

In order to streamline government and expand its own executive power, the U.S. administration wanted to use the “government shutdown” to advance large-scale layoffs of federal employees and closure of agencies related to the Democrats, according to U.S. media.

The Democrats also have their own calculations. The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) noted the standoff has become a messaging battle, with each party betting the public will blame the other.
