💨 Abstract

The U.S. has launched a large-scale military operation in Venezuela, targeting both civilian and military sites. President Nicolás Maduro declared a national emergency. This follows a four-month U.S. military pressure campaign, including strikes on Venezuelan boats accused of drug trafficking. The U.S. claims these actions are to combat drug trafficking, but critics argue they violate international law. Maduro's regime faces economic and political crises, with widespread shortages and human rights abuses.
