Venezuela Reacts to the Sending of U.S. Warships, Calls Militia, and Denounces Violation of Tlatelolco Treaty with Nuclear Submarine

The number 2 of chavismo and Minister of Interior, Justice, and Peace of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, declared this Wednesday (27) that the regime of Nicolás Maduro is on alert due to the presence of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean, near the country’s coast.

During his television program Con el mazo dando, broadcast by state channel VTV, Cabello stated that the regime does not ignore American military actions and is preparing for the worst.

“We do not underestimate any threat. We do not overestimate it either, and we certainly do not disregard it. We always prepare for the worst,” said the minister during the broadcast.

U.S. Pressure in the Caribbean

The statement comes after Washington announced the deployment of warships to reinforce the regional operation against drug trafficking.

The main target, according to the U.S., is the Cartel de los Soles, identified as being linked to high-ranking chavismo officials and supposedly led by Maduro.

The regime denies the accusations and classifies the American action as “a serious threat to peace and regional security.”

Furthermore, the Venezuelan dictatorship appealed this week to the Tlatelolco Treaty of 1967, which declared Latin America a nuclear-weapon-free zone.

According to Caracas, the U.S. would be violating the pact by sending a nuclear submarine along with the warships.

Mobilization of the Militia

In the same broadcast, Cabello praised the call made last weekend for the enlistment of the Bolivarian National Militia.

He highlighted that the turnout was, according to his account, spontaneous and motivated by the defense of the homeland.

“It overflowed from all sides. No one was forced, but they showed up of their own accord to defend the Homeland,” he declared.

The most important aspect is that this narrative faces resistance. Opponents and international outlets, such as CNN, assert that enlistment posts were empty, while the locations showcased by state propaganda gathered public servants and citizens in vulnerable situations, called under pressure.

Criticism of the Opposition

In light of these accusations, Cabello once again attacked political opponents. He directed criticism at leader María Corina Machado, accusing her of “<strong;creating a fiction” to downplay the mobilization promoted by the regime.

“While they continue to deceive themselves, we will keep moving forward,” stated the chavista leader, reinforcing the confrontational tone.

Recruitment Expansion

The Minister of Defense of Venezuela, Vladimir Padrino López, confirmed that the recruitment process will continue in the coming days at more than a thousand points across the country.

According to him, this is a “defense” strategy against the threat posed by the American military presence.

Million-Dollar Reward

Meanwhile, the United States has increased diplomatic and judicial pressure. The administration of Donald Trump announced earlier this month that it had doubled the reward to US$ 50 million for information leading to Maduro’s capture.

The dictator is accused in American courts of leading a criminal state involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
