Rising Tensions Between Venezuela and the US Prompt Military Preparations and Appeals for Support
As tensions escalate between the United States and Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro is preparing for potential conflict, labeling US military actions as immoral threats. The Venezuelan government is organizing civilian militias, providing military training, and conducting extensive civil defense drills in anticipation of a possible invasion. Venezuela has made appeals for international support, highlighting its sovereignty and the need for solidarity against US military pressure in the Caribbean. During discussions at the UN, Venezuela sought backing against what it describes as an aggressive US stance, while Iranian officials expressed solidarity with Venezuela. Maduro is weighing a state of emergency, with calls for action against perceived US threats intensifying, especially as thousands of civilians are drawn to military preparedness amid fears of an imminent US strike.
