🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 INSIDE THE CAPTURE THAT COULD SET THE NEW GEOPOLITICAL AGE IN MOTION Max Blumenthal says the Trump-led operation that captured Maduro was geopolitical theater engineered to shock. No resistance. No casualties. Russian-made S-300 and BUK air defenses were disabled before they could respond. Max argues this was a...

Maduro begs OPEC for help as Trump ramps up the pressure, expert weighs in | Emma Bussey, Fox News Venezuelan leader's plea for help follows Trump's order to close Venezuelan airspace President Maduro’s appeal to oil-rich nations Sunday laid bare just how isolated he has become, a Latin American oil expert says, before describing Venezuela as "broke" and drowning in $150 billion of debt. The Venezuelan dictator's plea came in a letter in which he appealed to OPEC for support, claiming that U.S. "direct aggression" was undermining Venezuela’s energy sector and threatening global oil stability. In a letter to OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al Ghais and published by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil, Maduro wrote, "I hope to count on your best efforts to help stop this aggression, which is growing stronger and seriously threatens the balance of the international energy market, both for producing and consuming countries." "OPEC is unlikely to get involved," Francisco J. Monaldi, Latin American Energy Policy Director, told Fox News Digital. "Saudi Arabia is the key player, and they will not want to confront the Trump Administration. But more importantly, they never get involved in this kind of conflict," he added. In his plea, Maduro argued that U.S. actions were designed to "destabilize" Venezuela and urged oil-producing nations to show solidarity. The U.S. imposed sanctions on Venezuela targeting government officials, state-run industries like oil and mining, and financial transactions in response to concerns over corruption, trafficking and human-rights abuses. His request followed President Trump’s order to close U.S. airspace over Venezuela, a move that tightened Washington’s pressure campaign and further restricted the regime’s ability to carry out international business. Yet Monaldi stressed that Maduro knows his appeal was only symbolic and had "framed" the situation to suit his own narrative over oil. "Maduro knows perfectly well that he is not going to get the reaction that he would want, but is framing the conflict as a conflict about oil," he argued. "Venezuela could once again become a major oil producer and produce about 4 million barrels a day in less than a decade, significantly quadrupling their current output. "The country could increase production if the oil sector is opened fully to private foreign investment, and that requires regime change. Four million barrels of oil per day will be the equivalent of about $90 billion per year in revenues, which is similar to what Venezuela received in the best of times. The income could allow Venezuela to pay the debt back and recover swiftly, micro, economically, although it will take years to get to that figure." "Now Venezuela is a country that is broke and has $150 billion of debt," he said. Tensions escalated further this week after a call between President Trump and Maduro, in which Trump said the Venezuelan leader should step down and leave the country, a direct push toward political transition. "A regime change is something that the U.S., if they can achieve it, would consider a positive outcome," Monaldi said. But he emphasized that Washington’s goals extend beyond energy. Venezuela, he said, has endured years of mismanagement and instability, making it not necessarily a safe bet. The broader U.S. priority, he added, is maintaining the Western Hemisphere. "The U.S. has priorities to preserve the Western Hemisphere as a region in which geopolitical rivals are not strong," Monaldi said. "The U.S. wants to reduce crime and drug trafficking in the region and the negative effects that Venezuela has had, you know, that have impacted the rest of the Latin American region," he added.

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 DELCY’S DIPLOMACY: VENEZUELA’S POWER PLAYER WAS ALREADY IN U.S. TALKS Delcy Rodríguez was allegedly already negotiating with the U.S. before the arrest of Maduro. She even held direct talks with Marco Rubio, knowing Washington would need someone at the top, no matter how the cards fell. But don’t get it twisted: the U.S. can’t buy her, and she’s not naïve about what Trump 2.0 is capable of, as he’s already threatened to bomb Venezuela if she doesn’t “cooperate.” Ignore her at your own risk. “Venezuela working with the U.S. has many different nuances. Delcy Rodriguez is a very capable diplomat, it’s no wonder that she is extremely admired by Sergey Lavrov, who is the number 1 diplomat on the planet. She is an excellent negotiator, she was already talking to the Americans before the coup against Maduro, she was talking to Marco Rubio on the phone. Americans knew they had to talk to somebody at the high levels of power, whatever happened next. You wont buy Delcy… The Americans do not know the mentality of how exponents of Chavismo work. They have Venezuela’s interests at the top, they have the memory of the revolution, and of everything that they learned from Hugo Chavez, they have been under horrible sanctions since forever and they still resist. Delcy simply cannot antagonize Trump because she knows what will happen, and Trump already said it, ‘If she doesn't work with us, we’re going to bomb Venezuela again.’ She knows she's dealing with an extremely volatile, megalomaniac, narcissist, but she knows how to deal with Trump.” Pepe Escobar

🇺🇸🇻🇪 "TRUMP IS STARTING A WAR THAT WILL BACKFIRE - AGAINST AN ENEMY THE CIA HELPED CREATE" The Grayzone’s founder Max Blumenthal has spent years covering U.S. regime changes in Latin America, and has interviewed leaders including Maduro. Not many know the region’s history like he does. Max explains how the “Cartel of the Suns,” now sanctioned and used to justify strikes on Venezuela, was invented in the 1980s by U.S. intelligence. The CIA and DEA used Venezuela as a cocaine corridor, letting drugs “walk” through the U.S. in a covert effort to map trafficking networks. That operation, launched during the Reagan years, helped seed the narco-state narrative later used against Hugo Chávez, and now, against Maduro. What began as a secret drug route became a political weapon: branding Venezuela as a cartel state to justify sanctions, asset seizures, and military buildup. We get into: •⁠ ⁠⁠How the “Cartel of the Suns” narrative rebrands regime change as drug enforcement. •⁠ ⁠Why U.S.-backed coups in 2002 and 2019 failed, and what’s changed. •⁠ ⁠⁠Why most Venezuelans, even those against Maduro, oppose U.S. sanctions. •⁠ ⁠How CIA-linked drug routes are connected to today’s covert operations. •⁠ ⁠Why regime change could spark a civil war and mass migration. •⁠ ⁠The role of Miami’s anti-socialist bloc in shaping Washington’s Latin America policy. •⁠ ⁠Why Trump’s pressure campaign may end in a deal, not a war. The U.S. is still using its '80s playbook. Max Blumenthal believes the results will be inevitably disastrous. 00:49 - U.S. suddenly begins accusing Maduro of drug trafficking 01:29 - “Cartel of the Suns” becomes the narrative to justify escalation 02:37 - U.S. intelligence once enabled Venezuelan drug flow for covert ops 03:41 - Those ops increased, not reduced, cocaine flooding U.S. streets 04:08 - Venezuela is minor in global cocaine supply chain 11:53 - Maduro refused to arrest Guaidó - denying the U.S. a propaganda win 15:40 - Military loyalty to Chávez and Maduro crushed coup attempts 22:45 – Threats of invasion trigger “rally around the flag” effect 24:57 - Most Venezuelans - even opposition - reject sanctions 29:49 - U.S. allies like Ecuador are deeper in drug trade than Venezuela 35:54 - Full U.S. invasion would mean civil war and political blowback 36:15 - Over 70% of Americans oppose war with Venezuela 43:58 - Regime change would spike U.S. gas prices 57:36 - Foreign policy decisions bypass U.S. voters 58:37 – American public now leans toward diplomacy, not intervention

🚨🇺🇸 EX-CIA ANALYST ON VENEZUELA & IRAN Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson says the U.S. operation that captured Maduro was made possible by covert cooperation at the highest levels of Venezuelan security. According to Larry, a senior Venezuelan official, secretly working with U.S. intelligence for years, issued a stand-down order that allowed Delta Force to land, extract Maduro, and exit with precision and speed. What appeared to be a flawless special operation was, in his words, “staged.” And on Iran, Larry believes the current protests are instigated by U.S. and Israeli intelligence, and the likelihood of toppling the regime is slim. He believes the U.S. and Israel are planning new strikes against the country, and that the regime is more prepared than it was during the 12-day war, with more advanced weapons and better readiness. 03:21 - Initial reaction to Maduro’s capture and why it felt “staged” 06:08 - Questions around the helicopter incident and lack of U.S. casualties 09:26 - Why a stand-down order could happen without full coordination 12:18 - No real plan after capturing Maduro: lessons from Iraq 15:36 - U.S. goal in Venezuela: oil control and pushing out China, Russia, Iran 18:21 - Risk of escalation and the Vietnam-style trap for the U.S. 21:31 - Why “precision strikes” are a myth and air power has limits 23:05 - Why the operation succeeded: insiders, unlocked doors, and no defenses 26:16 - Misuse of the Monroe Doctrine and U.S. interference in Latin America 29:53 - Contradictions between multipolar reality and U.S. global actions 31:15 - Why threats backfire and push countries closer to BRICS 34:02 - Trump’s behavior as a symptom of declining U.S. hegemony 36:49 - Houthis, Red Sea reality, and limits of U.S. naval power 39:26 - Iran protests: intelligence operations versus real public anger 42:09 - MEK, Mossad, CIA, and manufacturing opposition narratives 47:04 - Iran preparing for war and turning to Russia and China 51:24 - Why Iran is stronger now despite war, sanctions, and protests 54:12 - Difference between Iran’s government and the Islamic Republic 56:44 - Why the U.S. cannot replicate the Maduro operation in Iran
