US 'Bleeding' Caracas for Oil, Claims Report

The article denounces the US military intervention in Venezuela as a "dark page" in Latin American history, characterizing it as a blatant violation of the country's sovereignty and a return to the era of "colonial coups". Operation "Southern Dory" is described as a fierce attack with bombings in central Caracas, hitting not only government buildings but also residential areas, causing damage to infrastructure. The arrest of Nicolás Maduro by US special forces is characterized as an act that violates all diplomatic protocol, with Maduro being transferred to an unknown location outside Venezuela. The article emphasizes that this intervention is the culmination of a long-standing US effort to "bring Venezuela to its knees" through economic warfare, including an illegal naval blockade and the seizure of oil tankers. This intervention is linked to Venezuela's vast oil reserves and the US desire to control the country's resources. The article states that the international community condemns US aggression, accusing the US of using the pretext of fighting drugs to impose a puppet government. The resistance of the Venezuelan people is mentioned as a sign of hope, with citizens taking to the streets to defend their homeland. The article concludes by emphasizing that the responsibility for the crisis lies solely with Washington and that Venezuela is ablaze.
