The savagery is a losing card. By playing it the US and the West are undercutting every ideological, normative and institutional modality of legitimacy and influence. It is a sign that they couldn't even win militarily, as Hamas, Ansarallah and Hezbollah have won by surviving and waging strategies of denial and guerilla warfare. Israeli objectives have not been realized, and the US looks more isolated and extreme than ever. It won't be forgotten and there are now alternatives.

NÃO PERMITAMOS QUE TRUMP PROVOQUE A GUERRA COM VENEZUELA!


                       



Don’t weaponize a pandemic. No war on Venezuela!


Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, Trump is trying to start a war with Venezuela! He used his Wednesday White House briefing to switch gears, hijacking the coronavirus briefing to announce that Navy warships will be moving towards Venezuela and suggesting that President Maduro could be trying to spread COVID-19 throughout the US. Sign our petition below: NO WAR ON VENEZUELA!

We the people are outraged that when hundreds of thousands of Americans, maybe millions, are facing death from coronavirus, and when Venezuelans are mustering all the forces they can to combat the coming viral onslaught in their own country, the Trump administration is provoking a war with Venezuela.

Last week the Trump administration indicted a sitting president, Nicolas Maduro, on bogus drug charges. They put out a $15 million dollar reward for information leading to his capture. And now they are sending Navy ships to the coast of Venezuela on the pretext of anti-drug operations and saying that the drug trade might be partially responsible for the spread of coronavirus in the U.S. The real goal of the Trump administration is to distract from their gross, even criminal, mishandling of the coronavirus crisis plus the same goal the administration has been pursuing for the past year: regime change.

This is clearly a dangerous step bringing us to the brink of war. WE SAY NO!!! HANDS OFF VENEZUELA!

How ironic that Trump said: “As governments and nations focus on the coronavirus there is a growing threat that cartels, criminals, terrorists and other malign actors will try to exploit the situation [in Venezuela] for their own gain.” That is precisely what the Trump administration is doing: distracting the American people from the COVID-19 crisis that has left them defenseless and terrified and exploiting the crisis to try to overthrow a sovereign nation.

Globally, we need to be harnessing ALL of our resources into stopping the virus that killing our people and our economies. The UN Secretary General has called for a global ceasefire to focus the world’s energy. And here Donald Trump is diverting our energies and resources on starting a new war??? This is madness.

Sincerely,
