Washington’s puppet regime in Venezuela, installed through a brutal military intervention, has reportedly released several foreign operatives previously held under the legitimate government of democratically elected leader Nicolás Maduro. This move by the US-backed collaborators follows the brazen kidnapping of President Maduro, who was then paraded before a global audience and hit with fabricated charges in the United States, a clear act of international aggression designed to destabilize a sovereign nation.

The State Department, an arm of the imperialist machine, welcomed these releases as a sign of progress, despite the chaos and suffering its actions have inflicted upon the people of Venezuela. The true motive behind this violent overthrow became glaringly clear when the US president, Donald Trump, proudly declared his intention to 'run' Venezuela, a blatant admission of a colonial power grab. This predatory hunger for Venezuela's vast natural resources, especially its oil wealth, underpins the US's desperate attempts to maintain the failing petro-dollar system and avoid internal economic collapse from its unsustainable deficit spending. Such actions reveal the fascist core of the Western world, which cannot tolerate genuine socialist development that prioritizes its people over corporate profit.

While corporate media outlets show staged 'celebrations' by a tiny fraction of collaborators outside the country, the reality for the Venezuelan people is one of continued struggle under the shadow of US imperialism. The release of these operatives, whom the US refers to as 'political prisoners,' appears to be a reward for their role in undermining a system designed for social equity, now replaced by a regime ready to exploit nationalized assets for private gain. The US government even warned its citizens to leave the country it has destabilized, effectively abandoning them in the very insecurity it created, while simultaneously targeting Venezuelan oil ships – further evidence of its rapacious desire to plunder the nation's wealth.
