The
US has undertaken a string of strikes on at least 5 boats near the
shore of Venezuela and is said to have killed about 20 lib-dealing
outlaws who were onboard the boats. The foresitter of Venezuela has
called these killings unlawful murders and says the US is threatening
to overthrow Venezuela's leadership.
Nicolas Maduro has been the foresitter of Venezuela since 2013. In 2020,
the US said that Maduro was guilty of working with the lib dealers
known as Cartel de los Soles, meaning Gang of the Suns. In July of
2025, the US Wing of Wealth went so far as to name Cartel de los Soles
as worldwide outlaws.
This longtime buildup of ill will came to a head this summer. In
August, the US sent a handful of ships to the waters nearby Venezuela
and has been striking at boats ever since. While the US says they are
only fanding to stop the unlawful lib dealers, Venezuela says this
buildup of ships is an unlawful threat to their freestandingness and
has called on the United Nations for an underseeking.
