- There are serious reasons for the US’s aggression on Venezuela
- The Caribbean-coast country is becoming a ‘political battlefield’ of superpowers: Russia and China back Maduro
US Senator Lindsey Graham warned on Sunday that ‘land strikes’ in Venezuela are also quite possible. The US accuses Venezuela of supporting ‘drug cartels’ and drug trafficking, and those drugs have also claimed 90,000 lives in the US.
CBS In an interview with the News, Graham said that President Trump told me yesterday that he will tell me his future plans for Venezuela and Colombia when he returns from his trip to Asia.
President Trump said this at a time when the US Navy has also sunk drug cartels’ ships and submarines coming from Venezuela.
Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Pat Hegseth has recalled America’s most modern aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, from Europe and deployed it to the Caribbean Sea. In addition, the president has asked the CIA to take action in Venezuela and lay a trap to remove President Maduro. However, the president has kept the door open for diplomatic negotiations.
On the other hand, Russia and China are backing President Maduro. They say that Venezuela does not grow any cocaine plants. The US says that the drug may be grown in Colombia, Peru or Bolivia, but it is smuggled into the US through Venezuela.
Russia and China call this claim absurd. They say that cocaine from Bolivia, Peru and opium plants grown in Peru can reach the US via the Pacific Ocean. The western region of Colombia touches the Pacific Ocean. From there, it can send drugs to South America via the Pacific via West America and Mexico, so why is the US targeting Venezuela only?
Analysts, citing the direct reason, say that since Bolivia is a communist country, America is ready to ‘punish’ it and is making the world a ‘monster’ by ‘stealing’ Bolivia and making other countries of the world look red-eyed, and want to say that look, the situation that happened in Bolivia can happen to you too.
Analysts, citing this context, pat India on the back. It does not care about America’s unusual tariffs and buys oil from Russia.
Amidst this development, there is a feeling that if Maduro resigns, Trump can make his friend the president of Bolivia.
