About this listen

 The United States has dramatically escalated military pressure on Venezuela in late 2025, marked by the largest US deployment in the Caribbean in decades. This buildup includes the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group, B-52 bombers, and F-35 fighter jets. Officially framed as a renewed "War on Drugs" to target groups like Tren de Aragua and the alleged Cartel de los Soles, the US has conducted deadly extrajudicial strikes on vessels, killing dozens of people without providing public evidence of drug trafficking links.

Analysts widely suspect that the real aim is regime change against President Nicolás Maduro through an intimidation campaign. We explore the potential scenarios for US intervention—such as the 'Panama option' or 'Qasem Soleimani option'—and the risks they pose to the Venezuelan people. In response, Maduro's government has mobilized the National Bolivarian Militia, training civilians, including senior citizens, to defend the territory against foreign aggression. The empire’s dogs are barking—but will they bite?.
