Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has issued a strong warning to the United States, stating that any military aggression against Venezuela will face severe resistance, emphasizing that such actions will have dire consequences for the U.S.

Why it matters:

These comments reflect strong opposition and resistance to U.S. military actions in Latin America, where U.S. interventions have historically led to significant political and social upheaval. 

The big picture:

Rodríguez's warning comes amid increased military presence by the U.S. near Venezuelan waters, with three warships and over 4,000 Marines deployed under the pretext of combating drug trafficking. This military buildup raises concerns about potential conflict in the region.

What he is saying:

Rodríguez stated on Friday, "Those who think about a military invasion of Venezuela should know that this action will be very bad for them, and we will be their nightmare. American warmongers, be calm."

She further asserted that fascists aligned with U.S. actions aim to seize Venezuela's wealth and resources.

Key points:

  • The U.S. has sent three warships and over 4,000 Marines to the vicinity of Venezuela, claiming it is part of efforts to combat drug trafficking.
  • An American source revealed that President Donald Trump plans to send two additional warships to the Caribbean Sea.
  • In response to the U.S. military presence, Venezuela has dispatched its warships and drones for coastal patrols.
